Pampanga Food Festival Philippines

December 3, 2010

Pampanga is a province of the Philippines located in the Central Luzon region. Its capital is the City of San Fernando, Pampanga.

Pampanga is bordered by the provinces of Bataan and Zambales to the west, Tarlac and Nueva Ecija to the north, and Bulacan to the southeast. Pampanga also lies on the northern shore of Manila Bay.

If there is anything that makes Pampanga famous, it’s the delicious
food!

And if the success of the recent Kapampangan Food Fair at the
Salcedo Market last June 21 is any indication, food lovers young and old will have a blast at the 2nd Pistaung Kapampangan King Sinukwan on November 29, Saturday evening at the Old Heritage District along Consunji Street in San Fernando, Pampanga.

The whole stretch of the historical street will closed from 4:30 pm to 12:00 midnight, to light up the ancestral houses and to give way to a food fair and fanfare that brings together the best of Pampanga
cuisine – from authentic Kapampangan cooking by Everybody’s Café (a
Tatler Best Restaurant in 2008), Abe, Bale Kapampangan, Jun Jun’s BBQ
and Bibingka, Teresita R. Razon’s Palabok and Halo Halo and
home-cooked meals from PAMANGAN by Des Torres. For the
health-conscious, freshly-picked fiddle head fern salad from the Hizon
orchard will be served.

Pasalubong items such as Carreon’s Pastillas and Plantanillas,
Navarro’s Taba ng Talangka, WOW Mani, Kuliat Cakes and Empanada and
Lailen’s Pastries from the Sweets and Delicacies Association of
Pampanga (SnDAP) will be available; as well as mouth-watering
offerings from La Moderna Bakery (Masa Podrida and Gorgorias),
Bakeline (Mamon Tostado and Empanaditas), fresh sugar cane juice from
Alex Patio, heirloom Desserts from Mitchie Hizon, and barrio goodies
from the town of Sta. Rita such as the DUMAN and freshly-rolled native
barquillos.

Other delectable attractions include Duck Ham from Lubao’s Pride,
Ostrich Steak from Orstrichland’s Bruno and Diego, and the different
Native Suman from Cabalantian.

There will also be an on-the-spot Cooking Contest (using local
abundant ingredients) that seeks to discover and develop new talent in
the field of cooking, and performances by the Magsilbi Tamu Brass
Band, Arti Sta Rita, Aslag Kapampangan and the newly-formed Teatro Ima
at Arti.

So have a reunion with your family and friends and plan a pilgrimage
to the birthplace of sisig, tocino, buru, tamales and tibuk-tibuk!

Proceeds from the event will go to the Foundation for Lingap
Kapampangan Inc., more popularly known as the Save Pampanga Movement,
which advocates for the preservation of Kapampangan culture and arts.

Come in your most comfortable “barrio Filipiniana” attire and get
ready to go on a hometown feast for all your senses!
