I love exotic pinoy food! especially when it comes from Pampanga, I remember that I got to try some of their exotic food like the frog, crickets and also boiled egg of a monitor lizard, I think that egg is the most exotic food ever that I have tried and Im not sure If I'm going to try it again.
If you have friends or foreigner or tourist friends who want to try a more relaxing food setting and with offering of exotic food, then you can bring them here at Cafe Eight of Crimson Hotel Filinvest City, to try and taste our local exotic dishes from the Pampanga region.
Btw I just took a photo near Crimson Hotel, I spotted this colorful fiery tree with lots of blossoms. Really cute! and its like the sakura tree in Japan.
For the taste and try session, I was with my blogger friends Ted, Aci and Yummie
More Kapampangan food are offered at the buffet, you will enjoy their sisig, buro, adobong kamaru, okoy, kangkong salad, nilagang gulay, kalderetang kambing, camaron rebosado, ginataang suso (snails) and many more.
During the taste and try session, Crimson set up a boodle fight setting for us to try their Kapampangan culinary feast. Im not sure if they can offer this to their diners, but feel free to ask them to set the boodle table if you want that kind of setting.
Thanks to Crimson Hotel's Chef Marley Flattley and Quest Hotel Clark's Chef Leo Mari for the awesome collaboration. Chef Leo Mari is from Pampanga, and did you know that Kapampangan cuisine is well known since the Spanish era, and in this modern age, Pampanga is considered as the culinary capital of the Philippines because most of the delicious food and delicacies are a top hit always outside Pampanga and also outside the country.
If you plan to visit Crimson Hotel Filinvest City within the date of June 12-30, 2018, then you can catch the exhibit of Dra Josephine Policar, Dra Janet de Grano, Dra. Bambi Dy, Belen Lorenzo, Ma. Silvana dela Cruz, Bing Famoso Tac-An, and Mary Ann Reyes, all are doctors and patient who are collaborating for a one big exhibit entitled: Kalayaan sa Sining, the exhibit is dedicated to all Filipino artist who freely express themselves, especially their feelings through art.
