\nIf you’re in Cebu, it would be blasphemous not to try the lechon <\/i>(roast pig). Prior to my trip to the Queen City of the South, I asked my cousin Luigi for recommendations and one of his suggested places was Zubuchon<\/b>, you know, the “best pig, ever<\/i>” according to Anthony Bourdain. A quick Google Maps search showed that there was one super near our hotel, so of course, it was the first thing on our to do list for Day 1.<\/p>\n

\nI told you it was first on our list, haha! We were there super early and it was surprisingly empty. We then learned it was because the lechon <\/i>hasn’t arrived yet. Hahaha! So we had to go hang-out at the mall first and run back to Zubuchon as soon as the lechon came. Kyasu<\/i> as it sounds, I didn’t want to miss the lechon since it has a reputation of getting sold out.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\nThe yummy Kamias shake that I normally wouldn’t dare touch but it lived up to its reputation for being REALLY goooood<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\n <\/a><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\nSizzling squid stuffed with lechon sisig — my mind can’t even begin to comprehend its goodness!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n <\/a><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\nGarlic rice, because, rice. I love rice! And if we’re being completely honest and transparent in this blog post, a Filipino meal is never complete without it. Hahaha!<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\n <\/a><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\nSinigang, because of course, it has been my go-to favorite<\/a> and I can’t resist ordering it<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\n <\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAnd of course, the famous Zubuchon with its crispy skin and really tender, juicy, flavorful meat. Nom!<\/p>\n
\nI originally intended to try out all<\/i> my cousin’s recommendation because #YOLO and why not, right? But we felt like pigs soon after so we steered clear from the lechon<\/i>. But please do let me know your suggestions for the next time I go to Cebu? Would love to come back and eat my heart out again. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\nZubuchon <\/b>is located at One Mango Mall, General Maxilom Ave, Cebu City, 6000 Cebu, Philippines<\/div>\n
