Tibuk-Tibuk, Pastillas, and Shing-a-ling with chocolate? In a bar? Trust the adventurous Kapampangans to come up with culinary surprises. Experience a sweet journey into Pampanga's unique flavors with Rockwell's Pampanga Series Confections.
As the Rockwell community at Nepo Center continues to establish its presence, the brand unveils its exciting new Pampanga Series Confections. Notable Pampanga-based chefs Dennis Lim of the acclaimed Denlim’s Kitchen, Judy Uson from the beloved local restaurant Cafe Noelle, and Christian Valdes of CMV Txokolat have joined forces to offer Rockwellists a mouthwatering immersion into the culinary capital’s unique flavors.
A Harmonious Culinary Symphony
Together, Lim and Uson harmonize local Pampangan food favorites with CMV’s luscious chocolate, resulting in a blend that is both soothing and delightful. Every chocolate bar they craft is an intriguing, sensational, and exquisite experience.
Tangy and Crunchy Shing-a-ling
Imagine the snack-time favorite Shing-a-ling and the ever-present Kasoy mixed into a chocolate bar. The result is a tangy, crunchy, rich, and nutty taste sensation. This distinctive blend offers a textural contrast that will leave you reaching for another piece, much like your favorite bag of chips.
Tropical Treat: Pastillas de Calamansi
Next up is the Pastillas de Calamansi, a refreshing twist on the classic pastillas. The citrusy tones of calamansi are masterfully offset by the creamy sweetness of pastillas, offering a delight that truly embodies a tropical indulgence.
A Nostalgic Bite: Champorado Bar
For those yearning for a taste of childhood, Dennis Lim’s Champorado Bar is a must. By transforming the beloved champorado into a chocolate bar, Lim has created a treat packed with rich chocolate flavor and subtle hints of rice, a thrilling tribute to a well-loved breakfast fare.
Velvet Delight: Tibuk-Tibuk
Judy Uson’s famous Tibuk-Tibuk again steals the show. Its velvety texture and superb taste flawlessly balance the bold flavors that define The Rockwellist Confections’ Pampanga Series.
The Upcoming Delicacy: L.A. Cheesebread Bar
Soon to join the lineup is the L.A. Cheesebread bar. Drawing inspiration from the popular Pampangan baked good, this bar fuses the buttery delight of cheese bread with the indulgent sweetness of chocolate. This creation promises to ignite a craving like no other.
A Celebration of Filipino Flavors
Each creation in this collection narrates a story, rejoicing in the Philippines’ vibrant flavors and traditions, while daringly exploring the frontiers of taste and texture. These confections present an opportunity for Rockwellists to savor the diverse Kapampangan palate as the brand expands its presence here.
