The DOT, through its Central Luzon Regional Office, is also organizing the \u201c\u00a1SABROSO! \u2013 A Filipino and Spanish Food Fair\u201d, which will highlight and showcase the Filipino dishes that were influenced by the Spanish people. Such dishes will be prepared and demonstrated by renowned celebrity chefs from Central Luzon. This event is expected to be held in November 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFood is one of the strengths of the region and we want to enrich tourists\u2019 experience by sharing with them our heritage and culture through our food. We will conduct food mapping for the provinces of Pampanga and Bulacan so that we have an inventory of the heirloom dishes and where all ingredients are coming from. This will be significant in a more sustainable culinary tourism plan,\u201d concluded Puyat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DOT-Mulberry.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"28790\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/lifestyle\/central-luzon-to-showcase-flavors-of-pampanga-readies-tourists-for-gastronomic-experience\/attachment\/dot-mulberry\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DOT-Mulberry.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"[]\" data-image-title=\"DOT-Mulberry\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Wilson\u2019s Instant Tree Bank\u2019s Illinois Mulberry Fruit at San Fernando, Pampanga.&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt; Photo courtesy of the Department of Tourism&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DOT-Mulberry.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DOT-Mulberry.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DOT-Mulberry.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28790\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Wilson\u2019s Instant Tree Bank\u2019s Illinois Mulberry Fruit at San Fernando, Pampanga.\n\n Photo courtesy of the Department of Tourism<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The tourism secretary also emphasized that one of the tourism circuits the DOT is creating is a \u201cFarm, Food and Pilgrimage Tour\u201d covering the provinces of Pampanga, Tarlac and Nueva Ecija.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tour includes farm-to-table activities, savoring authentic Kapampangan dishes while enjoying the scenic view of Mt.
