Pancit palabok and pancit luglug are essentially the same dish, the difference being primarily in the noodles used in the recipe. 

Luglug uses a thicker noodle than the traditional bihon of a pancit palabok. 

Both pancit dishes use a round rice noodle (often specifically labeled for pancit luglug or palabok) 

smothered with a thick, golden shrimp sauce or other flavored sauce, and topped with:

shrimp, (the size and shell-on or shell-off depending on preference), 

crushed or ground pork rind,

hard-boiled egg (sliced into disks or quartered lengthwise or chopped), 

tinapa (smoked fish) flakes, freshly minced green onion.

Pancit palabok/pancit luglug and pancit canton are communal comfort food,

and can be found at nearly all Filipino potluck parties.

They are best made and eaten in batches for they are easily consumed.
