“Apag Marangle is one Filipino restaurant that effectively captures what traditional Kapampangan cooking is. It offers mainstream and exotic dishes that are delectable and bursting with local flavors; you will surely be satisfied after your meal.” - Dad On The Move

Aptly named Apag Marangle, Chefs Cherry and Mark’s brainchild adopts a bahay-kubo concept to create the ambience of dining in a farm. Staying on brand, the restaurant serves authentic fare like Chili Garlic Frog and Stir-Fried Crickets, and favorites that include Humba and Tidtad.


Chef Pons Garcia
