We’ve always loved the culinary voyage Pampanga offers. But the real draw now is a blossoming farm-to-table restaurant, 25 Seeds, that has made it the Angeles City’s sought after food destination.
25 Seeds is an honest gastronomic experience where you can have farm fresh locally sourced ingredients, simply cooked food on soulful, contemporary flavors in an elegant heritage setting. This brilliant concept is a creation of talented Pampanga-born chef and managing partner Sau del Rosario, who clearly knows how green-thumb cuisine becomes masterful.

“The meaning of farm-to-table restaurant is we go directly to local producers and we depend on the harvest of the season, that’s why our menu changes. Actually, one of the reasons why we put up this restaurant is because we want to support our local purveyors and establish good relationship with them. Also, we encourage them to grow organically and sustainable, ” says hyper local Chef Sau.
According to him when 25 Seeds opened last year it tremendously attracted scores of local food savvy in Pampanga particularly family. And this is exactly the reason of 25 Seeds existence to bring family together through good food and worthy conversation.
Aside from that, 25 Seeds is also fulfilling another purpose by making this stunningly designed Dychaico ancestral house as hub for local artists, fashion designers and the like to display their creative pieces in the restaurant.
I used to judge a chef by the way he or she roasted a beef or baked a cheesecake. But here, it’s more about how this beef and shitake salpicao, garlic confits, sweet potato puree gets such complex flavors out of these unsung ingredients. And that’s exactly what makes a meal at 25 Seeds’ such a soulful revelation.
