Have a taste of The Kapampangan Tamales!

The “Culinary Center of the Philippines” is a treasure chest of dishes and snacks that is definitely worth a visit just for the experience! One of those notable snacks is the Kapampangan Tamales.

The Kapampangan version of Mexican Tamales is called Kapampangan Tamales. As you may know, the Philippines, like Mexico, was once colonized by the Spaniards, which is why Tamales have also become a tasty delicacy in Pampanga, Philippines.

Pampanga’s Tamales are also known as “Bobotu,” according to legend, because during elections, women in Pampanga would gather and cook tamales while waiting for their men to vote, or “bumoto” in Tagalog, thus the name “bobotu.”

Ground rice, peanut, and coconut milk are combined until a paste-like consistency is achieved. The ‘paste’ will then be wrapped in banana leaves with your choice of meat, usually chicken with some egg pieces, and boiled in water. It’s comparable to regular or Mexican Tamales, you could say. But no, this is a true Kapampangan delicacy in terms of flavor, ingredients, and taste.

It’s simple for Kapampangans to find a kumare or a suki to buy Tamales from. However, for non-locals, finding a store that sells one can be quite complicated.

But, don’t worry! We’ve done the necessary work for you and found out where Tamales are sold so you don’t have to. The following are some places where you can get Kapampangan Tamales.

  1. Mr. Tamales

We discovered Mr. Tamales while searching online for authentic tamales! They offer a variety of tamales, such as Special tamales for P60, Suman bulagta for P35, and Special suman ibos for P20. Mr. Tamales provides pick-up service at their booth station on McArthur Highway, Brgy. Dolores, CSFP.  For advance orders and deliveries, contact them at 09651982433.

Susie’s Cuisine, with locations even outside of Pampanga, is a must-try for Tamales even if you’re not in Pampanga! Their Special Tamales are only P40 each. Visit Susie’s Cuisine’s official Facebook page for more information: https://www.facebook.com/susiescuisineph

Aside from ordering Tamales available on the internet, you can always go on the hunt for hidden Tamales spots in Pampanga. Here are a few examples:

  1. Mega Caltex Station in NLEX

If you enjoy stopping for a bite to eat, head to the Mega Caltex Station in NLEX and look for the vendor near Razon’s of Guagua. The vendor was given permission to sell it because it will not take up too much space and will not cause too much inconvenience to everyone.

  1. San Guillermo Parish Church

If you’ve been church-hopping, it is said that there’s a Tamales vendor in front of San Guillermo Parish Church. Other local products, such as kakanin and local clothing and merchandise, are frequently sold in churches. When visiting a church in Pampanga, keep an eye out for vendors who are waiting for tourists like you to come try their products!
