Cebu's Famous Lechon

Lechon or roasted pig is what Cebu is known for. The lechon is a must have food for any special occassions including birthdays, Chritstmas, weddings, as well as celebrations of fiest in small towns in every locality in the Philippines.

Lechon is normally eaten together with hanging rice (puso) which makes tourist really get a feel on the true Filipino culture using bare hands. This is something they should not miss when visiting Cebu. Although the food is available all over the Philippines, Cebu's lechon is exceptional as there is no need for a sauce as they say!

I had tasted the lechon thing during one of my recent trips in Cebu.

It was good, but the downside of the food was that it was too oily which we practically is not good for our health.

But eating them once in a while shall be fine.

Yes you are right. Celebration will not be complete without the lechon in the table. All Filipinos love lechon. Especially me. I love lechon. Lechoncebu is truly the best lechon. They are known the king of roasted pig/suckling pig. The skin is so crunchy and the taste of the meat which absorbs the aromatic fragrance of herbs and spices... Its so yummmmy. Graveeeeh ang sarap ng lechon nila. Walang katulad!
Try lechoncebu!
