PAMPANGA: A Culinary & Heritage Journey
Schedule: June 6, 2025 / June 20, 2025
Your adventure begins with a warm welcome and orientation from your tour coordinator, setting the tone for a day filled with history, flavors, and culture.
​
The first stop takes you straight to the heart of Kapampangan cuisine — Aling Lucing’s, the birthplace of the world-famous sisig. Here, you’ll enjoy a hearty breakfast of this sizzling delicacy, lovingly prepared just as it has been for generations.
​
With your appetite satisfied, you’ll step back in time at the Pamintuan Mansion, a grand heritage home that once hosted the first anniversary of Philippine Independence. Strolling through its historic halls, you’ll be transported to a pivotal chapter of the nation’s story.
​
Not far away stands the majestic Holy Rosary Parish Church, fondly known as the “big church” of Angeles. Its centuries-old architecture and solemn atmosphere provide a moment of quiet reflection and awe.
​
By midday, prepare for a true Kapampangan feast. Indulge in culinary masterpieces like bringhe, kare-kare, and refreshing halo-halo — flavors that define Pampanga as the country’s food capital.
​
The journey continues at Museo Ning Angeles, where stories of the province’s vibrant past and its culinary traditions unfold in engaging exhibits. From there, your tastebuds will be delighted on a guided walking food tour of the Heritage District. Each stop offers a taste of local treasures — tibuk-tibuk, suman, tamales, and melt-in-your-mouth pastillas.
​
Before heading home, you’ll have time for a pasalubong stop at beloved institutions like Susie’s Cuisine and Everybody’s Café, where shelves are lined with Kapampangan delicacies and kakanin — the perfect treats to bring home and share.
​
The day wraps up with hearts (and bellies) full, as you journey back with lasting memories of Pampanga’s rich heritage and world-renowned flavors.
