Matam-ih Authentic Kapampangan Cuisine Clark Review: Our Newest Favorite Restaurant in Pampanga

Matam-ih Authentic Kapampangan Cuisine Clark Review

Matam-ih Authentic Kapampangan Cuisine is one of a few underrated restaurants in Pampanga. Matam-ih, an Aeta dialect meaning delicious, isn't exaggerating. This is the best restaurant to try if you're looking for authentic Kapampangan dishes with no artificial flavors and for very reasonable prices.

It was already our second time having dinner at Matam-ih last January 8, 2018. During our first visit six months ago, my husband and I fell in love with their Tamarind Shake. All their shakes are made of fresh fruits; my husband loved it even though he's not really into shakes, smoothies, or anything similar. So imagine our disappointment when it was not available during our second visit. So instead, we just ordered their other available flavors - buko, mango, and watermelon. You'll love their fresh watermelon shake!

We appreciate that most of their staff are Aetas. The woman who served us was a bit shy, and I could tell she got a bit nervous when I politely asked her to take a picture of my family and me. She's nice. I was trying to make her comfortable by befriending her, but I think that made her feel uneasier, so I just left her alone.

We were a bit surprised when the food came. We almost forgot that Matam-ih Authentic Kapampangan Cuisine servings are bigger. Their "good for 2" means "good for 4". We ordered Sinigang na Baboy and Inihaw na Hito. Their buro, which was served with the hito, is a must-try! We brought our leftovers home and ate them at lunch and dinner the next day.

The place is fantastic. I can't imagine going back there during the summer since the dining area has no air conditioning. The tiny insects are forgivable since there are plants everywhere. There's a KTV room at the side which I didn't get to see. But this is a perfect place for you if you love photo shoots and Instagram-worthy shots.

Verdict

Of course, we'll return to Matam-ih Authentic Kapampangan Cuisine soon. We can't wait to recommend this restaurant to our family from Manila finally. Since they're 50 percent Kampampangan like me, I'm sure they'll love it.
