The Kapampangan cuisine has a long and colorful history which dated back to the Spanish era. They learned the basics of Spanish cooking, and later on created menus that pleased every Spaniards’ palate. In addition to a host of delectable dishes, Pampanga is also known for its exotic specialties. Adversities such as natural calamities honed Kapampangan’s talents and resourcefulness in developing unique varieties of native meals that made use of unusual recipes such as frogs and crickets.
Being the culinary capital of the Philippines, the Kapampangan cuisine fittingly became the highlight of Café Eight’s Philippine Independence Day celebration. Crimson Hotel Filinvest City, Manila’s culinary team headed by Chef Marley Flattley will be cooking with Chef Leo Mari of Quest Hotel Clark to serve a feast of flavors that are rich in history, distinct and truly Filipino.
A diverse and plentiful Kapampangan menu is expected to surprise guests and get immersed with the Philippine culture.
