Pampanga calls itself the culinary capital of the Philippines, and a private jet menu from Clark can lean on that without apology. Kapampangan cooking is built on slow braising, sour broths and charred pork, which makes it a natural fit for an inflight menu, provided each dish is packed the way a galley actually works.
Sisig is the best-known example: chopped pig's face and ears, grilled, seasoned with calamansi and chilli. For private jet food we pack it plated-ready, with the calamansi and the chilli kept apart so the crew can finish it at the seat. Tocino, the sweet cured pork of Pampanga, travels well for breakfast departures, and morcon and kare-kare are among the local specialities that hold up in an oven-and-drawer galley.
Desserts matter here too. Tibok-tibok, a carabao-milk custard, and turrones de casuy are packed chilled and re-plated cold. We keep sauces in their own pots, peanut sauce for kare-kare included, and mark every tray by seat number so nothing is guessed at altitude from Mabalacat.
For guests who want something lighter, Pampanga's river fish, fresh mango from the dry season and sinigang broth made with sampaloc are all part of the local specialities we can bring into a private jet menu, always adapted to the aircraft and the headcount.
