the right things were here since I a few steps behind miss A&E analyst is the historic Pam into a mansion which is also called the Museum of Philippine social history or Bettina I know for a fact that for the longest time this place has been closed to the public and I'm just curious what made the owners decide to open it to everyone this mansion was built in 1890 insisted time it was closed to the public and it was the National Historical Commission of the Philippines who are the owners of this mansion right now who decided to open it as a museum so this mansion was given as a wedding gift by Don Florentine opening to one's parents Mariano and Valentina Torres well if you can see the mansion is really grandiose when it comes to the architectural style all the architectural details it is one of the eclectic architecture because it is mixed with a moorish the Art Nouveau and Art Deco designs so what is very significant is this is found in the heart of the Angelus heritage statistic which is very near the Holy Rosary parish church all the rich families lived around the church before because we have the idea of the plaza complex where the plaza complex is comprised of the rich families houses surrounding the church and then as you go further the common people now our foot trip begins this is a best farm before this was a private estate for a certain large a cruise or ljc

aside from being the food capital of the Philippines pop Angus also our country's Christmas capital these are a testament of how we value the traditions that has been passed from one generation to another [Music] [Music] okay so we're here at ballet dude oh it's a house and museum at the same time and I want you to meet the man of the house one of Pampanga sprite artists and chef Claude diagonal chef Claud can you tell us something about what I do Tom and how did it came about but but I do things primarily my home my studio you don't way back early 1970s in architecture so that my so-called dream is to do my dream house is a tamale come Alex a fine house so when I had the chance in 1980 somebody offered me you know the remnants an old church old houses and all that I started buying all this material so you can say this house was literally built from scrap and from scratch in about 80% of the material use in seven hand but when I do to means the wooden house balle balle Baha'i know the house it's also the home the warmth and hospitality and that's exactly how I want the guests to feel so when I got married to Marion we were constantly entertaining relatives gasps and all that until one day somebody said yes why don't you open it to the public but I said I will work to invite other friends that you don't know so that planted the idea of us opening the house by reservation only and then we opened downtown Cafe 1956 here in Pinellas not downtown Cafe is a retro style restaurant located at NAPA Mart this spring aversion is the dish that won the imposition of challenge in Washington DC last year I was requested by our embassy to use Philippine ingredients available in the US market on top of the list is heirloom Philippine rice the vamoose Taliban see for me the biggest challenge was to do one dish to represent the flavors of the Philippine Mattson that in one bite so cooking the first stage of cooking is saute some onions it's a little oil this is the traditional sauce the cast iron visit those rings you remove some of the rings to adjust to the size of the pans this is the pre soaked black rice black nuttiness rice of an hour by lap D now and it's mixed with you know one the white green we now UNMISS the heirloom rice that you can find in the banaue rice terraces yes and the broth this is chicken broth and this is the puppies to flavor it so imagine a rice cake with puppies so that's what I'm saying this is a rice cake savory rice cake so you see it simmering we actually don't cover it like the regular way of cooking rice in all special occasions in deep wedding Mahalo yeah everything he one of the symbolism of this bring here it represents that they keep diecut diecut smith it's stuck together of the community we noticed most of our dishes in recipe box they're actually meant for sharing we always anticipate that there are small people coming I think it's about done let's go to the table and clean plate okay the first order I cut this banana leaves and you get a little of the coconut oil and do this so the sticky rice will not stick okay so I sprinkle a little bit paint so and then portion and then you flatten it and using a cookie cutter put it back in a non-stick pan and toast it until the edges of the leaves are wrinkled see the crinkled edges of the banana leaf so what I did I put a dollop of the precious de balón to Lanka these for me is a crown jewel of Pampanga cuisine so now I'm gonna put the toppings so the fungus has been fried like mangos the bell pepper for the finale so these are the little flowers so here you go this is the award-winning bring he might bring it the flavors of the Philippines in one bite no wonder my long answer so these are the dishes that I serve in the downtown 1956 cafe this is the adobo intelligently nutrition semantic app in a lab automatically tapas you fry it in its sauce room Ungerman caramelization edges Hema Newtonian you just need buttery soft inside and then i pair it with the grilled eggplant with a mango salsa in the generation of our parents they always eat adorable with something sweet ripe mango or even banana or achada it's always there the sweet sour salty this is the vinegar on a bad boy but this one you have the crispy cheater on the shrimp paste sauteed with lots and lots of tomatoes that's where the Assam comes in crunchy crunchy and why some rice I have the alligator ice fried rice with the crab fat plus topped with fried crab let's no don't worry cha injili nom nom nom crab fight but I'm not a vampire not good I think more than anything indeed ambassador Thomas our Akuma in but that's true for every province every region so we cannot say we're the best for me I think it's the abundance of ingredients of produce there was a lot of important ingredients in the press tap down into our and our daily proceed ok now I'll make a try the debug Netta McKoy in turn after the Ilocano magnet and the italian porchetta basically the same rose for belly roll a difference between this and the italian porchetta this is a teacher on skin and you have three choices of processed sweet sour liver sauce that Java and then the additional crispy pata sauce most of our heirloom recipes of traditional recipes were handed down from generation to generation by taste so it's a very personal thing what we do is a way of passing on the torch meaning continuing the tradition especially with the Millennials having tried or is fallen even though what they call the fusion thing you know at the end of the day they shall go back to that blue tone behind the comfort foods what's your message to the young Chefs and budding entrepreneurs who wanted to do the same thing you learn first your palasa you go back to your roots love Lohani and
