I Tried HUGE Roasted Pig in Philippines, Lechon

In this video, I travelled to Cebu, Philippines, to try their famous dish called lechon. Lechon is a roasted pig that the Island of Cebu is extremely well-known for, and it is a food that the locals eat on special occasions such as birthdays. As a huge meat lover, I was extremely happy to finally try lechon as well as other delicious traditional Filipino food.

I love how you compared the food with dishes from other country, because basically Asian food have the same root, but they develop & change in each country. It also gives us ideas of how it taste (especially for those who never try it yet)

[@totot99]

Saying all of Asian food have the same root is one of the wrongest things I've read ever

The sisig and garlic rice is a thing and eating them together is absolutely fine!

[@eduardochavacano]

It is not a thing. Garlic rice is something any country can do. Sisig is just a drinking food sold in beer houses in Central Luzon then it was copied by Manila and everyone else copied. But Sisig they make is not real.

[@scr1m844]

The original is aling Lucing. She passed away but left a signature dish that the world loves❤

[@faelandowner]

@@eduardochavacanoi think OP was referring to the part of the video when jimmy was eating sisig together with rice. it absolutely a thing, and even a standard for us to do this type of pairing i.e., ulam at kanin and in this case sisig at sinangag

[@afterhype.]

Jimmy is everybody's darling :D. He stands in front of the restaurant for just one minute, and he's already invited into the kitchen. Nice😁

[@eduardo_dito]

I'm from Ecuador but let me tell you how you do it, you put the rice the sisig and the lechon together but not mixed on a plate, then drop some of the spicy sauce on top, just enough to moisten and add flavour to the whole dish, if you like vinegar add some finely chopped pickled onions and chilis. Oh man I'm so hungry now 😅

[@itsmeferny]

I am from Cebú and you are so on point. This is how we usually do it in the Philippines.❤ i approve!

[@KennethDueñas-w2k]

Equador and other latin countries are closely similar to the Philippines in terms of how we eat our dishes. That was awesome

[@Johndavidlf9]

The garlic rice is not a dish of its own. Its just a side meant to be eaten with everything. Glad you loved it! I would reco this place too because they dont skimp on their lechon portions unlike other places.

[@heelercs]

Yeah, Fr, I was so confused that he was treating it like a dish lol

[@shinjumaru834]

I love how you mix the Sisig with the Rice meal Prichon , here in the Philippines , almost all the meals without rice are called "Ulam" which is best paired with "Kanin" (cooked rice). We Filipinos combine almost every dish with Rice

[@shinjumaru834]

We're Asians we can't live without rice 😂

[@heelercs]

@@eduardochavacanoYou’re too good to eat rice? More for us then! 😋

[@norucelezia1915]

One thing you should understand is that Filipinos basically eat rice with almost everything lol. It's not like (Main Dish + Side Dish/es) but rather (Rice + Main Dish/es) usually during proper meals. And yes, even Rice (carbo) + Noodles (carbo) which is why you'd find most dishes quite salty or at least very savory since they're all supposed to be eaten with rice. :)

[@kvr582]

rice is always paired with all those dishes u got. so good job for pairing the rice with sisig.. Filipino dish was made with rice in mind.. like our food, everything can go well with rice

[@gustlightfall]

You are absolutely doing it right. Everything on rice! Specially garlic rice!

I can't believe you're in Cebu, Jimmy! House of Lechon is a good lechon spot, but there are also some other good lechon options in the city for sure! If you're going around Cebu and need help, let me know!

[@KirkKiyosadaTome]

Wow, everything looked delicious! So happy you're traveling to various cool places.

[@UncleBroMiscellaneous]

My advice is to research the dates of Fiestas. Of every provinces and municipaliyies. There, you can have some local contacts and eat variety of foods viands and delicacies For Free! Dont waste some some for it can can ve prepared in less value but high quality fresh when eaten.

[@EHLAiNEEE]

The purple flavor is from a yam called "UBE", it's very different from Taro. It has a stronger flavor usually. Ube is a native root crop here in the Philippines. You'll see it being used for desserts usually. Ube ice cream, Ube boba tea, Ube rice cake, Ube turon, etc. Hope you had really fun on your PH trip, Jimmy! Love, from your PH fan 💟

[@ForexLearnerAI]

Always excited when Jimmy uploads🎉

[@ginoongboyong]

Yes! That's how Filipino eat lechon and sisig with rice. Welcome to the Philippines!

[@chantararix]

I kinda agree about Jollibee in a sense. The only thing that makes it Filipino is that it was part of everyone's childhood. That's why even Filipinos abroad would have a pang in their heart whenever they see Jollibee. Food-wise though...

[@AlejandroJavierHernandez-si4qz]

[@ANAnomalous1]

I appreciate Jimmy's experimental and open attitude when it comes to cultural differences! Speaking of which, garlic rice seems to be more of a side dish than a main dish anyway, so it was a good idea to mix it with other entrees.

[@oodo2908]

Koreans seem to be the only other Asians who like Filipino food. Maybe some Japanese, but that's about it. If you look at the three cuisines, though, they don't use too many ingredients like all the other Asian cuisines. They totally depend on the quality of the ingredients and the technique to be good, like simple Italian food.

[@rolz24]

Wow Jimmy! Cebu Lechon is the best! I'm jealous because I had a very bad experience in buying lechon in Manila. Let me tell you what I've experienced, I bought a lot of lechon in the slums of Tondo, Manila and the servings there is very poor and it's very sad. And I've always taught myself to look for the beauty in it-to look for beauty in the faces of the pigs and to be grateful. And I would bring this aspect as a customer to see situations with a silver lining and to assess where I could give something, where I could provide something as a food critic. And this, I think, if I could [also] teach people to be grateful, we could have an amazing world where negativity would not grow and foster and pigs would have a smile on their face. Thank you!

[@theoffbeatkid]

so glad u tried local food from a local restaurant!! glad u enjoyed :’)

[@Dominic-ne7dz]

all filipino food is eaten together with rice. You basically get some of the "Ulam" which in your case was the sisig/lechon/sinigang then got some of rice and eat it together. PS: with soup we get some of the soup and pour it on the rice. not like in korea that you guys put the rice on the soup.

[@jessicaregina1956]

Does that include pagpag!!!!!!!

[@1025KAP]

You do have to eat everything with garlic rice. Filipinos will mix the lechon/sisig/sinigang with the rice as well.

[@drbeatzplayz491]

If you are still there you should try Rico's Lechon also. It was one of the best I've had, stuffed with Truffle Rice.

Purely educational lol, Filipino fat shaming colloquial terms: taba/mataba = fat baboy = pig batchoy, tabatchoy = fat, referncing a local soup called batchoy lechon = you are 100% right about this lumaki ka/laki mo/lapad mo = you got bigger siksik = dense The last 2 are the less harsh versions. Hope you learned something! Again, purely educational hehe
