Why Every Juan Do Loves To Have Cebu Lechon During Parties?

Lechón is a pork dish in several regions of the world, most specifically Spain and its former colonial possessions throughout the world. And one of the countries that Spain colonized was Philippines, specifically Cebu. So, no wonder why Cebu has its most savoury Lechon among 88 provinces in the country. Not surprisingly, many Filipinos all over the Philippines are visiting CEBU - just to taste their flagship dish.

Moreover, Lechon became part of Filipino's culture. A party is incomplete without huge grilled pork on the table with an apple in the mouth. During the Spanish era, lechon has something to do with economic status in the society. Only a well-off family can afford preparing it in every celebration. Nowadays, a whole lechon is prepared in every party as a sign of victory, thanks giving and success. It symbolizes an abundant life.

Good thing, you are no longer needs to go to Cebu just to taste it. Various entrepreneurs brought the Cebu's taste in the urban zone of Manila. One of them is Roland P. Peñarez- the owner of "Manong's Cebu Lechon". I met the person behind this business during the Blogapalooza 2015 and luckily, I was able to taste the lechon right at his booth. And it was worth for your money.

Truly, Lechon is Juan's trademark. Not just because we were influenced by the Spaniards however, Filipinos undeniably love to eat. Having Lechon on our table is a sign that family members can bond and can smile together- that a Filipino Family is happy on sharing one food and LECHON can bring them together.
