BEST TASTING LECHON in the Philippines?! - Honest Tourist REACTION | Cebu

[@christdawn6416]

Thats it guys, Im gonna pack my bag to the Philippines and get that Lechon! 😍🤤 Love your reaction and reviews on this vlogs hahaha

[@NurseTalking]

Lechon or inasal in Cebu is eaten plain with rice or dipped in the lechon's own drippings or with a mixture of coconut vinegar, soy sauce, chilli or lemoncito in a little dish. Barrio or town fiestas is not complete without a whole inasal or lechon being roasted and feasted on by the guests mostly with bare hands. With its increasing popularity among local foodies, lechon in Cebu is now being mainstreamed into restaurants or fastfood franchises. This is the best eating vblog ever you made. Have a safe trip to Malaysia you two cuties and continue to vblogging that you enjoy and love doing for your viewers. Salamat for visiting Cebu and the neighboring islands. Cebu is a strategically located for inter-island and air connectivity both going up north or down south of the Philippines.

Thanks so much, Juvet!!! ♥️ much appreciated 😇

[@Angkol_Cy]

even people in Metro Manila are ordering lechon from Cebu..soo crispy and tasty

[@joelammang9068]

i dont think so, that even people of m. manila are ordering lechon in cebu. bec. mang tomas lechon are the pioneers of making lechon business

[@great9302]

@@joelammang9068 Oh one lechon shop in Cebu now has branch in Manila or it is QC? But never found or heard of Mang Tomas in Cebu. If Mang Tomas is Philippines' tastiest lechon why doesn't it have a shop there in Cebu to compete with the best?

[@bisayangdako7527]

One of my Favorite food Lechon and Cebu lechon is the best and number one 👍🤩😀🤩😀🤩😀👍.!!!...Have a great day guys Beer for Breakfast🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩.

[@khemnacztv6674]

Yes i agree

[@g.jettegorchez1945]

The Traditional Cebu Inasal is not just an ordinary lechon. it is an Experience 😍 It's a Cebuano culinary custom cooking a whole pig stuffed with fragrant lemon grass & a mixture of herbs, spices, & seasonings on its belly then gradually roasting it over a pit of live coal to perfection. Once you take a bite on that crispy skin & the tender juicy sumptuous meat then that's what you'll call an Elevating Experience 😃😃 No need to dip it in any sauce as it's already succulent yet in case if you really want to, then you can have a spiced vinegar & a crushed garlic a sprinkled with a little salt for a dip. Don't forget your bottle of beer too 😉 . Now i'm craving for Cebu Lechon 😄😄...Safe Travels & Cheers 🍻

[@John77Doe]

Gionne Jette Gorchez What is lemon grass?? 😐😐😐

[@NurseTalking]

Lemon grass is locally known as tanglad or tangad that is very aromatic when cooked much more so when mixed with the inasals own drippings. You stuff the pig's belly with lemon grass along with green onions and garlic and salt. Im not sure if its stalks is digestable compared to the green onion or scallions when cooked. But it enhanced the aroma and flavor of the pig inasal or lechon.

[@g.jettegorchez1945]

@@John77Doe Cymbopogon, better known as lemongrass, is a genus of Asian, African, Australian, and tropical island plants in the grass family. it's locally known as tanglad. thanks Juvet Dakay.

[@lonewolf7565]

Traditional lechon in the Philippines were eaten dipped in pork liver sauce to enhance the flavor. That sauce was so popular that it was bottled and sold separately. It's known as Mang Tomas Sarsa ng Lechon. There is actually a neighborhood in Manila called La Loma that has several restaurants selling lechon and other pork dishes such as dinuguan, bopis, paksiw na lechon, chicharon bituka and bulaklak. They have been around for decades. The difference with Cebu lechon though is that the Cebu or even the Iloilo version is already flavored hence no need for the liver sauce. They instead dip it in mixed vinegar soy sauce. A popular mixture in the Visayas.

[@benskiurgello3348]

lechon is a staple food in our culture for special occasions like fiestas, birthdays, weddings, a day in the beach... i have to say, cebu's lechon is the best in the world. had it in st. lucia island last year - not even close. glad you found our lechon to your liking.

[@ajrcastillo]

North of the Philippines! Baguio, Banaue Rice Terraces, Ilocos (Vigan and Laoag)

[@indigorosequartzserenity]

My personal list of my favorite lechon places in Cebu: 1. House of Lechon 2. Rico's Lechon 3. Zubuchon 4. CnT Lechon 5. Ayer's Lechon (meh)

[@homerbulos]

Anthony Bourdain said the same thing, it's the best pork he ever had. :-) Lechon as a noun is suckling pig by default. But as a verb, it could mean roasted or cooked. So you have lechon manok, lechon kawali. The same with adobo, sisig, etc. It's more about the cooking process per se.

[@erwiljunjimenez]

Hi Micha and Justina, I've been binge-watching your travel vlogs for the past couple of days and I must say it is definitely engaging. Appreciate the effort to immerse yourselves in Philippine culture. Keep up the good work! See you around and as always #CheersToFreedom. :) PS: The next time you come back, make sure to travel to the Northern Philippines (La Union, Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte, Baguio, Banaue, Sagada, Batanes).

[@tenztaeza6067]

Philippines is surely winning influx of tourists over other Asian countries because of you guys. Big big Thank you!

[@rafyonup5018]

[@neilnailedit8739]

Have you tried the bottled Mang Tomas Lechon Sauce? That is also good. By the way, it's cheaper to have a visa extension in Manila.

[@ejchar6432]

Visa extension for the third time is more expensive. They made the right choice to go to Malaysia (or any other country) after their 2nd PH visa extension then come back to the Philippines for another 30 days. And about the Lechon sauce or "Lechon sarsa," very often do I see vlogs trying this out with the Lechon so I would definitely recommend this as well.

[@blazeking5206]

cebu lechon and mang tomas? that is a mortal sin! 😂

[@neilnailedit8739]

@@crazy948 chill okay, i do know that cebu lechon is the best, but it would be very good for them to know the taste and differences so they will have to know a lot of options if they are in a place where there is lechon but not as good tasting as Cebu's. It will be at their advantage if they will learn that in the Philippines, they can find and have multitude of options, and not the ones that are only brought to them on their table. So sad to have such bad insights about someone's suggestions so that they could have so much options.

[@lenakarmel8191]

lechon is part of our culture. celebration/occasion is not complete without lechon... we find reasons to eat lechon. 😂😂😂

[@jungravoso7028]

I hope you will visit Guimaras, please. It is where you can taste the best mango. in fact, it is illegal in Guimaras to bring in mango because they are protecting the species of mango in Guimaras.

[@kalilove8153]

I enjoy lechon with either Mang Tomas sauce or with vinegar and calamansi! And of course RICE!!!

[@valbalo2693]

Actually for the sauce... you can have garlic and vinegar or Mang Tomas livers sauce or light soy sauce with chili....or you can eat it with no sauce at all as long it is accompanied with rice to balance the fat and saltiness of the lechon

[@ArchieS-id8lf]

I'm getting fat just watching you girls eat. Love how you research materials, places and traditions before plunging in those places. Here's to freedom! Tagay pa more!!!

[@WiLLaxa]

Try the "Cebu's Original Lechon Belly" the spicy version. It's the best! 😍 ♥

[@madyleneplaner4724]

Don't know if you guys have been to Camiguin island, bit it looks good. Also there's the rice terraces, Vigan, Las Casas de Acuzar, Corregidor Island

you are both lively and fun bloggers.. Will follow you in your adventure. Keep trying the local food and swim in the beautiful ocean.

[@BeerForBreakfast]

Thanks a lot! 🥰

[@jayb8369]

Loved your video! you looked like you enjoyed your meal. Lechon is delicious and enjoyed on special occasions , but in moderation. Not recommended for people with diabetes or high blood pressure. However, we only live once, don't we? I would like to point out that there is a liver based sauce for dipping your lechon pieces into. It's meant to cut the fat and balance everything out. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!

[@ceciliarodriguez7184]

Had it been a month already??? I am devastated that you have to go. To make sure that you return, I will continue to watch and enjoy your adventures. Hurry back though as there is more of this country you have to see.

[@BeerForBreakfast]

I know, right?! Time went by so quickly ! Two months in the Philippines is not enough! We are eager to come back 😇♥️

[@jmrs211]

Head to the North! You can make Baguio City as your home base for a month. The cool weather is perfect there since it’s already summer here. From Baguio, you can easily go to other tourist attractions in the North such as Ilocos, Sagada, Banaue, La Union, Pangasinan, Zambales, Aurora.

Lecho is very important in the Philippines celebrations, especially Fiesta. During Spanish time , having lecho is an indication that the family is wealthy or belong to upper society(alta sociedad) also this also one why for Spaniards to identify the natives (Indios), Filipinos now a day who are Christian.

The best sauce that goes with lechon is the liver sauce or combination of soy sauce, calamasi with onion n red pepper in it. my fav...liver sauce

[@boybato2690]

I might be oldschool but the only way I eat Lechon is with Mang Tomas lechon sauce or liver gravy sauce not with spicy calamansi/soy sauce for me that sauce is best with Crispy Pata.

Cebu lechon makes it so special because you dont necessarily need a dipping sauce .... its optional though. Unlike to a non cebu lechon you got to have "sarsa" (sauce) '..

When prepared correctly, lechon is a food orgasm in the mouth. I found out that my maternal grandfather enjoyed eating lechon so much that he died from a heart attack since its not a health food. However, he died eating happily. Looking forward to your adventures in Malaysia.

Actually lechon is litson in Tagalog. The taste differ everywhere depending on what region you are in and who prepared it. Like in Cebu there are at least more than 4 popular eateries serving litson and each one has their own trade secret and so with different taste as a result.

Guys the ID card that the immigration officer was pertaining to is an Alien Residence Card. That's for foreigners staying in the country for more than 60 days. The card entitles you to stay for a year and you can renew that yearly if you're planning to stay for a very long time ( that's staying here permanently ). Mostly expats avail of that card. Since you're digital nomads you're right about not getting the card. You're always welcome here to come back. 😊

[@mistersquirrel0]

If you're in the Philippines during Holy Week, please plan ahead. It's a major holiday and a very busy travel period. Also, it's election season, don't be alarmed if you see and/or hear election related violence in the news. It's normal and nothing to be concerned about unless you're involved in politics. As for places to visit when you come back, try the Bicol region. The region is known for its spicy and creamy cuisine (food cooked in chili and coconut milk). I think it's whale shark season in Donsol. There's Mayon Volcano, a perfectly cone shaped (see back of ₱100 bill) and most active volcano in the country. Enjoy the beaches and rock formations of Caramoan, location of the reality show Survivor. There's mountain trekking on Mt. Isarog. It's a region less traveled by foreign tourists.
