Pampanga Food Heritage Tour — Culinary Capital of the Philippines

Kapampangan cuisine is considered the finest regional food tradition in the Philippines — the dishes you eat in Manila's best restaurants were invented here. The food tour visits the source: San Fernando for traditional kare-kare (oxtail in peanut sauce with shrimp paste, a Kapampangan original), Angeles City for sisig (the original pork face and liver sizzling dish — invented here in the 1970s), and local markets for morcon, estofado and tocino prepared as only Kapampangan cooks make them.

Susie's Cuisine in San Fernando is the reference restaurant for traditional Kapampangan food. Everybody eats there once. The tour includes a cooking demonstration showing the traditional methods.
