Mami soup
Mami is a Filipino noodle soup made with wheat flour noodles, broth and the addition of meat or wonton dumplings. It is a type of pancit.Origin
Its creation is generally attributed to Ma Mon Luk, a Chinese immigrant to the Philippines who began selling noodles served with chicken broth in Binondo, Manila in 1920. Ma originally called his dish "gupit", after the Tagalog word for “cut”. Later, Ma decided to call it "Ma mi", literally meaning, "Ma’s noodles". Unfortunately, Ma did not have the name trademarked. Soon, imitation noodle soups sprouted with a name that was, personally, his. The inspiration for deriving the name may also more simply take root from the Hokkien Chinese term, meaning meat noodles.
