Cebu is known as the home of the best lechon makers and traders of the Philippines, that's why it is claimed as the Lechon Capital of the world. Additionally, American chef Anthony Bourdain acknowledged Cebu's lechon as the best one.

Lechon is a national dish of the Philippines. Special occasions (birthdays, feasts, weddings) are incomplete without having lechon on the table.

The word Lechon came from the Spanish word that refers to roasted suckling pig. It is famous in Spanish-speaking countries as well.

 

After seasoning, Lechon or "roasted suckling pig" is being skewered as a whole and cook over charcoal. The rod which it is attached to is turned as rotisserie motion. This motion cooks the meat evenly and allows its own juice to comes out.

Where to find the best lechon in Cebu?

There are many lechon makers in Cebu but I chose to feature Rico’s Lechon as my top choice.

The group visited Rico's lechon slaughterhouse located at Highway 77, Talamban, Cebu City, 6000 and had a tour around. We witnessed the cooking steps of lechon and also got the chance to meet the owner. Had a short talk and he shared his best secret about his growing business.

Inquire with what screening and criminal background checks the maid company undergoes on laborers. Ask if for example the maids really are employees or possibly subcontractors for the maid service plan. A maid service choosing subcontractors is more chancy. These men and women are often not required to are accountable to work whatever particular effort, might not need the workout employees experience, and ınsurance coverage liability is sketchy.
