Have you tried lechon kawali yet? 😋

There are so many variations of lechon.  Despite the Spanish name, the lechon is not necessarily of Spanish origin. Many food historians and chefs believe that prior to the Spanish colonization of the Philippines, pigs and wild boar were already being spit-roasted over an open flame - this technique is referred to as “inasal.” 🔥 Nowadays, the term lechon can refer to many different dishes, most of them spit-roasted over charcoal. 

✏️ There is a lechon parade held yearly in La Loma, Quezon City where more than a dozen lechon stalls do their business. 

Currently on the menu: lechon kawali 🧡 crispy fried pork belly, pickled red onion, micro cilantro, house spiced sawsawan. Dip or dunk in our house spiced sawsawan, or pour the sawsawan over; choose your journey! & don’t forget to order it with some garlic rice 🤗🧄🍚 

What are your early memories of lechon growing up??
