Pampanga Culinary Tour

Posted by nina under Philippines

Our first stop was, oddly enough, Starbucks for our daily dose of caffeine. It was followed by a very American lunch of hamburgers and steaks, and a quick duty-free shopping at Subic.

But despite the rather slow start and the quest to find the original Razon’s branch (which happened to be closed), the dinner made it so worth it.

Who’d have thought I’d eat crickets and ENJOY it?

Save for a field trip to Clark, an immersion with the Aetas in the mountains of Pampanga, covering an event in San Fernando (and witnessing a monkey masturbate. Damn, I didn’t know they do *that*), running around the looking for food as part of a challenge, I never really knew Pampanga. After this culinary tour, I’m now eager to learn and explore Pampanga more. And discover more food.

Want to see what we ate? Head on to Anton’s Awesome blog for the pictures!

P.s. Thanks so much for this tour, Anton and Spanx!

Starting with a solo weekend trip to Cebu to a backpacking trip in Thailand and Singapore, she finally made it out of Asia and into Australia. After spending close to six months down under, she's happily settled in Manila (for now), intent to explore the best things the Philippines has to offer.
