Lechon of my life!
Before i start my ode to my favorite food, let me apologize for not sending entries to the past 2 or 3 TBR's. I would have ranted on the unfit and cheating TO on the "Mentors, Tormentors" and would have written on my Lolo who shouldered my medical school bill with an iron hand on "The Doctor's Family".
The thing is the whole Colgate Family (yes, colgate! kay kada pislit sirit) went to the Surfing Kingdom in Siargao, were my entire GI system was wrecked. I puked most of the time due to the gigantic waves that rocked the small Cokaliong ship from Cebu to Surigao, then Surigao to Cebu, Surigao to Siargao and Siargao to Surigao.
I cried for the delicious Surigao BBQ, the lobster and king prawns and yes, the LECHON, that has to forcefully leave my stomach.

Congressman Lalo, welcoming us!
Surfing on dry land.
On the shores of Naked Island.And now back to LECHON....
Lechon is synonymous to celebration in every Pinoy's mind.
But for this Pinay, CEBU LECHON is it.
I have to admit that there is no better lechon than a CEBU LECHON. You can argue or quarrel with me but I will stick to my Cebu Lechon. I can eat it any time of the day. It can be leftover adobong lechon with the crispy skin or the lechon paksiw with vinegar (my mouth is watering), sarap!

Years ago, my friend and I craved for a lechon. So, we went to SM Fairview (i reviewed for med licensure exam at Tating's Boarding house in Fairview) to look for one. There was a big signage in the food court "Lechon Cebu". We were so excited, we bought one kilo right away. Yes, virginia, one kilo for the two of us. With the first excited bite, we grimaced because it was not as we expected it to taste , it was hard, dry and bland. We have to drown it with the sad gravy they gave us, just to swallow it. We were cursing all the time we ate it. Well, we have to ate it kay sayang, mahal ang kilo. And we vowed never again to eat Lechon in Manila.
During residency, whenever the interns or the PGI's behaved or made a good job, I sometimes bring with them to my Lechon-eating-binges. During my "leche days", only the good ole Lechon can change the scowl to a smile.
Happy Lechon Day!

doc tes,i would break the rule "bawal mag-laway" with that yummy picture of those upside down Leches! very enticing! :-)
Haha! Geez, I love that lechon, one of my diet demons. My brother in law "roast" lechon old school style in our backyard. I sometimes peek to see how it really looks. But till then, hanggang doon nalang ako

Doc Tes, I used to love lechon too until my son (who is hefty like his momma) cautioned me against eating "one of our kin," hehe. From then on, we promised to be kinder to our fellow porkers, ehrm, creatures. Not that we've turned vegetarian totally. We just don't eat lechon when it looks us in the face. :-)
Have a great day!

ari nako gigutom ko, manungkab ko sa kusina,
thanks for sharing sa litson.....paambita ko bisan panit na lang....or paksiw, lamian pa ko sa paksiw kay sa letchon gyd-
Wow! kalami sa lechon. Makalaway man jud sya bisan naa pay gbutang nga "bawal ang maglaway". Lami man gud labi na ang panit.. Wala gyuy makalupig sa kalami sa lechon cebu.
Try pod ninyo ang taste sa lechoncebu.com. Lami ug crispy pod ang panit sa ilang lechon. Lami gyud ang pagkatimpla. Graveh makagana gyud sa kaon.
try www.lechoncebu.com
Lechoncebu is one of the best tasting lechon that I’ve ever tasted. It requires no sauce in order for it to taste good for the pork is already full of flavors They are also approachable in dealing with us.
Thanks to lechoncebu.com
Ako walay pili malechon or mapaksiw lami jd. labi na ang lechon cebu pagkalamia sa ilang lechon. Wlay sama sa kalami sa timpla sa ilang lechon. Sulayi ninyo diba manganad mo sa ilang lechon.
Bitaw doc lami gyud ang lechon cebu compare sa manila.
I like the authenticity of how you cook the pig. The picture of the surfboard and the people looks so relaxed. Philippines really is paradise and just when you thought you lived life to the fullest, out comes the lechon to surprise you.
Amiable brief and this post helped me alot in my college assignement. Thank you on your information.
