Kapampangan Food Directory

Welcome to the Tastes of Angeles!

Pampanga has always enjoyed the title the "culinary center of the Philippines". This is hard to contend for their food is prepared and cooked with much passion using only the best ingredients. Being a Kapampangan is almost synonymousto being an excellent cook. Such a reputation goes back during the Spanish colonial times. Pampanga was then the largest province in the Philippines. It was one of the main sources of food for the country. Its produce was so abundant that the Manila government required the region to pay tribute in the form of food.

Pampango food is more exotic and imaginative. They love sauces and it is common to have one dish served with as much as three different sauces or accompniments to suit one's individual taste.

Pampanga sweets and desserts are world famous. This is no surprise as Pampanga is a sugar-producing region. Vast tracts of haciendas are devoted solely to sugar. Pampanga sweets are more refined and mostly of European influence. The famous sans rival, turrones de casuy, brazo de mercedes and leche flan are just to name a few.

The warm hospitality of the Kapampangans complements their great talent in cooking. The common greeting in a Pampango home is, "mengan na ka" which means "have you eaten?" It is true that Pampangos live to eat.
