Pampanga: Armando's Pizza at the Historic Camalig Restaurant

Now have you ever heard of Kapampangan pizza? If not, then you must visit Armando's Pizza at the Historic Camalig Restaurant, the old Nepomuceno rice granary in Angeles City, that had been converted into a restaurant. And what toppings might one find in Doy's Kapampangan? Longganiza, ebun buru (salted duck eggs), onions and pickle relish! It sounds nasty, but tastes heavenly!

I've always been a fan of pizza at the Camalig. The crusts are baked to a perfect crisp with a generous serving of toppings. And if you choose to bring some home to your friends and family, the packaging is a novelty as well since the pizza is placed in a bilao and wrapped in Manila paper like pansit. Well, we're passing by the Camalig after our tour on Sunday. Yum!

Ivan About Town meets Happy Slip

I got to meet YouTube celebrity Christine Gambito, more popularly know as Happy Slip, at the exclusive Happy Slip Meet and Greet event today. The Department of Tourism designated her as an ambassador for Philippine tourism given her popularity on the Internet. She's been traveling around the country and I'm eager to watch the videos from her tour.
