Pampanga is the Culinary Capital of the Philippines and a fascinating region we explored on our quest for authentic food specialties.

The range of unique Kampangan delicacies surprised us. From the famous pork sisig to frogs, field crickets, and an unbelievable French buttercream cake, the flavors are diverse.

What is Pampanga Cuisine?
In the Philippines, Pampanga food is one of the most celebrated regional cuisines. There are famous dishes like Sisig that are popular throughout the country and have also achieved international fame.
Famous chefs like Claude Tayag and guardians of authentic Pampanga recipes like Atching Lillian Borromeo have celebrity-like status in the country.
In Pampanga, the kitchen is the biggest and most used room in a Kapampangan traditional household.
Kampangans are known for their ingenuity and for creating dishes using everything in their environment including, insects, frogs, and all parts of animals.
The cooking method in Pampanga is also unique and known as sangkutsa. This practice involves partially cooking ingredients like the meat to be used later in other dishes.
This yields bolder and fuller flavors, especially when cooking large amounts.
Everything served on a Pampanga table is exotic, with rich and various flavors and an abundance of ingredients.
Kapampangan or Pampangan cuisine has Spanish influences and is shaped by the environment and the maker of the foods.

Top 10 Traditional Pampanga Foods To Savor
1. Sisig – Sizzling Pork Sisig Traditional Filipino Dish
Sisig, also called sizzling sisig or pork sisig is a traditional and much loved Filipino dish.
It is the most famous dish associated with Pampanga and has earned Angeles City in Pampanga, the moniker “Sisig Capital of the Philippines.”
A Kapampangan delicacy, the dish is made up of chopped pig’s head parts like face, snout, cheeks, and ear.
Everything is grilled and mixed with chicken liver and flavored with peppers and calamansi, a type of local citrus fruit.
Traditionally, this Pampangan food is served on a hot sizzling plate giving it the sizzling sisig name.
Sisig was invented in Pampanga in the 1970s by Aling Lucia Cunanan. She bought the unused pig heads from Clark’s Airbase and created this local delicacy and culinary sensation.
Locally, she’s known as the “Queen of Sisig” and her famous dish is now found throughout the Philippines and abroad.
This Kapampangan dish is usually served as an appetizer. It’s popular at bars where sisig is said to taste better with a cold beer.

The nuns took the discarded egg yolks and created a new recipe. The cookies were created and dedicated to San Nicolas, the patron saint of bakers.
At the time, cookies were given to the devotees on the feast day of St. Nicolas.
Using traditional wooden molds, Atching Lillian made the cookies for us.
She made the Kapampangan cookies using egg yolks, milk, cake flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and margarine.
It was impressive to see the old cookie molds, some over 100+ years ago.
And, these delicious buttery cookies, flaky and easy to eat, made for the perfect snack.

10. Turrones de Casoy – Cashew Nut Hard Candy
Turrones de Casoy is a Kapampangans specialty and iconic dessert.
It is a delicious snack made with honey, ground cashew nut nougat wrapped in edible rice paper.
To describe this iconic candy, the Kapampangans say, “Kanan me ing balat,” meaning “you eat the wrapper.”
Not doing so or removing the wrapper marks you as being a non-Pampango.
It is crunchy and hard to chew, similar to nougat with cashew flavoring.
This Philippines candy has many equivalents around the world.
One version we enjoyed discovering was in Turron de Doña Pepa in Lima, Peru. Linked to religious activities, this is a sweet and sticky anise-flavored sweet.
What makes the Philippine Turones de Casoy so unique is the presence of cashew or “kasuy” in the Tagalog language.
If you are curious about Turrones de Casoy, you can order them online from Amazon.
