When TLC invited us to join them in retracing Anthony Bourdain’s steps in touring Pampanga, we were absolutely psyched. We’re fans of great food and fans of Bourdain, so we started off bright and early to join TLC and SkyCable for the FoodSteps Culinary excursion in Pampanga for a day of eating and learning.
This post is brought to you by TLC Asia.As we stepped into our ride by The Luxe Bus, we knew we were in for a treat. It was the swankiest bus we’ve ever been in, and there were two attendants who cheerily welcomed us in and immediately handed us a menu of drinks that they could prepare for us the whole trip whenever we wanted, and however much we wanted to get. There were also two widescreen televisions that were showing Bourdain’s show parts Unknown, that got us psyched (and hungry) for what was to come. We bought a couple of waters and cappuccinos to perk up our bodies and freshen our minds before our first stop, Kusina Matua ni Atching Lilian.

1. Kusinang Matua ng Atching Lilian Borromeo
Address: Brgy. Parian, Mexico, Pampanga
Lilian Borromeo is a force to be reckoned with. When we arrived she was organizing the buffet of Kapampangan breakfast dishes including tamales, meatloaf, longganisa, dinuguan, and a host of several other dishes that were homemade and served fresh. We filled ourselves with breakfast while she went around, made sure the buffet was refilled before dishes ran out, and spoke to a few of us. She said she was a fan of Anthony Bourdain, but did not know exactly who he was, self-deprecatingly saying “Pag matanda ka na di mo na inaalam talaga, basta papanoorin mo kapag nandiyan” (When you’re older, you don’t really pay attention, but you enjoy when you see them).

She started her demo of baking the popular Panecillos San Nicolas and shared her experiences of making them. captivating and humble, she told us why she’s making sure the recipes of the 16th century are still in circulation, saying there are people making old things new, but that she wants to start from the root and make sure the original recipes aren’t forgotten.
Unlike a lot of chefs, she shares all her secrets and tricks with the crowd, and lightheartedly cracked jokes often, with a demeanor that only endeared her a lot more to everyone. We listened and asked questions, and after the demo, the line to take pictures with her was understandably long as we all wanted to remember this sweet, incredible woman who is living gracefully, and so joyfully.
2. Bale Dutung by chef Claude Tayag
Address: Paul Ave, Angeles City, Pampanga
Happily filled with breakfast, we piled into our Luxe Bus again and travelled the 30 minutes to Bale Dutung, Claude Tayag’s family home. We knew we were in for a treat, as we had been told that ten courses would be served, the food that Bourdain had eaten when he had visited, plus a few a lot more courses to complement those. starting off with a salad, we ate leisurely through the ten courses, with chef Claude introducing each course with the history and background of each dish. While each course had its own appeal, our table raved about the lumpiang ubod, adobong pugo and the seafood kare-kare.

One woman at the other table even cried after being asked how she liked the kare-kare, saying it was the best kare-kare she’s ever had. four hours of eating did not seem quite enough to absorb all of the information and delectable quality of each plate set before us, and we left moaning in contentment to head to our next stop.
3. Susie’s Cuisine
Not really a restaurant. a lot more like a food store. Susie’s Cuisine did not leave us wanting, and sent us bags of Pampanga’s best kakanin, and until a few days later (with a ton of restraint to not eat it all in one sitting), we were still enjoying their sylvanas, and our favorite, carabao milk pastillas, best with a cup of coffee for merienda.
4. cafe Fleur
Address: 463B Miranda St, Angeles City
Café Fleur was the last stop for our Pampanga food tour, and while we thought we couldn’t fit in another bite in our bellies, the cooking demos by the three in house chefs of Tamales Pampaguena, Okoy and Sisig got us ecstatic for the food আসা.

As chef Chloe explained, the street food served in the café are elevated concepts to not just look great, but use herbs they grow in the garden, and are made of ingredients sourced locally. With a backdrop of the old house they converted into the multi-concept restaurant, it was the best end to the day.
Every stop we went to, while using different cuisine,সবার মধ্যে একই জিনিস ছিল: লোকেরা পাম্পাঙ্গা যা অফার করে তার সেরাটি দেখানোর জন্য প্রতিশ্রুতিবদ্ধ এবং জিনিসগুলিকে সুস্বাদু করার জন্য আবেগ। অভিজ্ঞতা অর্জনে এবং এমন লোকদের উপস্থিতিতে আনন্দিত হয়েছিল যারা তাদের অঞ্চলের রান্নায় নিজেকে গর্বিত করে এবং স্থানীয় এবং বহিরাগতদের সাথে তাদের দক্ষতা ভাগ করে নিচ্ছে। বিশ্ব ফিলিপিনো খাবারের জন্য প্রস্তুত এবং কোথায় শুরু করা ভাল তবে ঘরে বসে, আমাদের স্থানীয় শেফদের কী অফার করে তা স্বাদগ্রহণ করে এবং এটি বিশ্বের সাথে ভাগ করে নিচ্ছে। আমরা আমাদের heritage তিহ্যকে ফিলিপিনো হিসাবে এবং খাওয়ার হিসাবে, খাওয়ার সেই ম্যারাথন পেরিয়ে গিয়েছিলাম এবং সুস্বাদু কাহিনীটি বলার জন্য বেঁচে ছিলাম।
