We’re eating extreme Filipino food in Pampanga, Philippines 🇵🇭 — stuffed frogs (betute tugak), mole crickets (kamaru), fermented rice (buro), and adobong balut, plus heirloom Kapampangan food from Atching Lillian, the guardian of Kapampangan cuisine. With Paul Chez @TeamCanlasTV
This is Day 2 in Pampanga, and this time we’re in San Fernando on a mission to eat the most extreme Filipino food in the country! We start easy at LBS Bakeshop & Kitchenette, a three-generation panaderia that bakes 8,000 cheese breads a day, with pancit palabok and dinuguan for breakfast. Then straight across the street into the San Fernando Public Market for burong Kapampangan at Lola Denang Canteen — fermented rice with shrimp and fish, the dish that divides Filipinos. From there it’s Cely’s Carinderia, a legendary turo-turo since the 1970s, for betute tugak (stuffed frogs), kamaru (adobo mole crickets), pulutok (minced pork lungs), lagat puso (banana blossom), and adobong balut — including one dish I was scared to try. We finish in the town of Mexico at Kusinang Matua, the ancestral home of Atching Lillian Borromeo, Filipino food historian and the guardian of Kapampangan cuisine, cooking heirloom recipes in a 200-year-old kitchen to answer one question: why is Pampanga the culinary capital of the Philippines?

Good day❤
I can't take my eyes off of the picture. I look back every now and then. There's no charm in watching me eat.
Parang sarap guro yang buro. Ano Kaya lasa nyan
Natatawa ako dun sa kumakain sila ng sili.
MARK: Not too spicy.
CHEZ: Yes not to spicy I can handle this ahahaha.
-pero mukhang uusok na yung tenga niya.
Chez always needs a lead sidekick. Even in his own channel TeamCanlasTV when they decided to no longer hire comedic co-hosts (Dex, Tata, Mayor), their content in my opinion lost a bit of its original charm. Camerawoman or his wife doesn't cut it for me.
