Kamaru Dish
(Kapampangan Dish)
from Dau San Fernando, Central Luzon. Province of Pampanga

Filipino cuisine is the epitome of fusion cuisine. It's a melting pot of cultures that have
left their influence throughout the last few thousand years. Pampanga's ingenuity, hospitality,
cultivated taste, and experimental individuals have contributed to Kapampangan cuisine.
Kapampangans don't merely cook what the Spaniards thought of them they develop, reinvent,
and even improve every meal. Kapampangans are known for their attention to detail when it
comes to cuisine, as seen by practices such as sangkutsa or precooking and food preservation.
Because Spanish friars and sailors taught Kapampangans the foundations of Spanish cookery,
Kapampangan food is said to be distinct from that of other ethnic groups in the Philippines,
which is why Pampanga is recognized as the Philippines' Culinary Capital.

Kamaru dish is these mole crickets they cook into a delicious appetizer. The small bite
of appetizers is crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. These are crickets that are
made into unique Filipino delicacies by Filipino cooks. Foot and wings are washed and
cooked in garlic water before being pan-fried with tomatoes and onions in vegetable oil. This
meal has a distinct flavor that appeals to customers/travelers. In most Filipino unusual
recipes, the main ingredients are insects or bugs. One of them is the Adobong Kamaru. It's
definitely one of Pampanga's best culinary traditions. It's similar to the normal adobo, except
the major ingredient is Kamaru, and it's occasionally served with tomatoes. Kamaru is a mole
cricket classified to the Gryllotalpidae family of the Orthoptera order. They consume
vegetables on occasion because they're a pest to farms. They're great with a cool beer. It's a
favorite “pulutan” among Kapampangans since it's crispy on the exterior and moist in the
middle.

After getting out of bed in the morning, a traditional Kapampangan routine is to head
to the kitchen. Kapampangan mothers' morning rituals are more than just a duty, they are an
expression of their eternal love for their families. Also, most of Kapampangans are Christians,
predominantly Roman Catholics. Pamagpapak “tasting whatever food is served at the table”
or pamanisig “similar to eating green mango fruit with bagoong salted shrimp” are two
examples of classic Kapampangan kitchen activities. If the rice is properly cooked, even a
small amount of "salt or sugar" can be added to complete the meal. According to the tourist,
he ate newly cooked rice with just salt and sugar before the table, yet ended up with a
satisfied stomach.
