iggy112 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Lechon's a common main course in big parties, fiestas, birthdays etc.When you say lechon, you know its a party and there must be something big being celebrated. So the big question is, where's the best lechon to be found? Quote Link to comment

kewlboi Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I'm a cebuano and I'm proud of the Cebu's lechon. There is only one lechon in Cebu that has no equal... it's CNT Lechon. Quote Link to comment
jhn888 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 may i suggest try aling lurings lechon, at the back of sm sta. mesa, they dont serve per kilo, they call this lechon ni erap, for erap often order his lechon from aling luring the talagayes, kewiboi is right also, cebu lechon is great if your going to eat it there in cebu, but if your going to send it to manila by plane, the skin is always not that crunchy na.

iggy112 Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 The resto Marina previously served lechon. They flew it in and served it a few times a week lang.I heard someone call it lechon Bisaya it was as flavorful (like lechon from Cebu) but without the salty skinI also saw a feature from Tablescapes where they featured lechon in Bacolod roasted with a whole chicken inside. Of course there's also the non traditional pritchon! (pritong lechon) So many to choose from, so little space in my stomach! Quote Link to comment
CoffeMate Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 So far, the best I've tried here in Metro Manila is SABROSO http://lechonsabroso.multiply.com/ Quote Link to comment
tazdevil Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 lechon cebu but taste better to eat in cebu rather than air freight it to manila.you will definitely tatste the difference for sure. Quote Link to comment
DarkAngel Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Cebu lechon is the best. No need for any special sauce. I love CNT. In Metro Manila, I agree that the best in my experience is Sabroso Lechon. An added perk is that the pork they use in the lechon comes from free-range pigs. Quote Link to comment
orionquest Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 elars lechon is good. so does leonardos. lechon cebu, i like cnt.. Quote Link to comment

luvsex Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) Marketman's Zubuchon I get a regular supply of Zubuchon. I find it too salty, though. Will try CNT next. Edited August 12, 2010 by luvsex Quote Link to comment
eric2k3 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 There was a time I recommended Lydia's Lechon over Elar's because the skin stays crispy even after an hour from the time you purchase it. I've tried Lechon Cebu which was brought over by a friend on 3 occasions already. Di nga kasing crispy yun skin by the time it arrives Manila but the taste is very good. No need for sarsa when you eat it. I've also tried Pritchon before. Different but very good as well. They only use lechon de leche size piglets as that is the only type that can fit in their frying "container". Quote Link to comment

kanski Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 i've decided to re-read that blog entry of a.b. and couldn't believe how many people have left their comments. mga pinoy talaga, fed up with all the bad news coming from the philippines, we pounce on every little bit of good news written about our country; which isn't necessarily bad. on topic, i recently saw once more the pritchon being served at mesa and it looked so appetizingly good. mental note to self- order the pritchon the next time i feel like braving the long wait time and the equally slow service at mesa.

vanillaLatte Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 i had this fat-less lechon de leche in discovery shores in boracay, but i think it was only for that particular event. the lechon has very crispy skin and tender meat. no visible fat! Quote Link to comment
Observer08 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I guess most people would agree that you'd have to head to Cebu for that one. Quote Link to comment
bitoysworld123 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 still CNT for me hehehe. can't wait to be there again next month Quote Link to comment
itikbitik Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Dedang's in Iloilo I hope they are still in operation. Tatoy's and Breakthrough comes second. Cebu's lechon for me has this lansa smell due to the onion chive they use as stuffing and it's a bit salty. Iloilo's lechon is stuffed with lemongrass and tamarind leaves so it has this citrus-y smell that works well with the rendered fat from the pig. Sawsawan for me is sinamak tapos piga-an mo ng siling labuyo. Quote Link to comment
black_label Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Lechon from Carcar (Cebu) is certified delicious.There's also this lechon that has sayote inside (aside from garlic and onion leaves); yummy also! Quote Link to comment
