Zubuchon: Biting into the “Best Pig..EVER”

Zubuchon: Biting into the

I know. It is simply not right to post this fatty, delicious hunk of lechon right after a recipe for the healthiest cookie but I just couldn’t deprive you of the “Best Pig..EVER” {according to Mr. Anthony Bourdain}.

This is not the first time I’ve tried Zubuchon. When we went to Cebu last December 2011, we were able to buy frozen ones at their branch at the airport to bring home to Manila. We reheated it at home but the skin wasn’t crispy anymore and it seemed like regular lechon save for a few herby notes which you can taste as you bite into it. There were some leftovers which were immediately cooked into lechon paksiw.

Zubuchon: Biting into the

Two months ago, when peanutbutter♥, ykaie and I went to Cebu, we just had to dine at Zubuchon. I always wondered if the lechon would taste different if eaten at the restaurant. Indeed it is! The acupunctured skin is very crispy and the meat was very tender. It wasn’t as salty as the lechons here in Manila and you could still taste the herby notes — only much better.

The branch that we went to is the one at the at the lobby of the Islands Stay Hotel. It’s a small space with around eight tables and has red and white interiors.

We also ordered Kamias Shake — I didn’t know kamias could be turned into a really refreshing beverage before this as the fruit is really too sour for comfort. However, this shake has the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness making it the perfect palate cleanser for this fatty fare.

As a sidedish, we ordered this Seaweed Platter which is composed of lato and another kind of seaweed which I failed to ask. It came with a vinaigrette of some sort and both went well with the Lechon.

Yup. we only went there for the pig and nothing else. I hope I could go back to Cebu and try out CNT next time.

    The distinct taste of the Kamias shake is a great counter for the oily and yummy zubuchon! I miss this. Wishing to visit them again! *drool =)

    Thank you visiting Zubuchon and we are so glad you enjoyed your meal. The next time you are in Cebu and in the city we have a couple of other bigger branches with a slightly more extensive menu… Best regards.

Kaya share ko sa inyo tong bago Kong #momfindsph - BETTER LIFE household cleaners (@betterlifeph ).They’re biodegradable, has plant-based ingredients, and sulfates-free. 

Pinakagusto ko yung All Purpose Cleaner kasi spray and wipe lang and it cleans easily. Ginagamit ko to to clean my stove top, air fryer, ref, microwave, dining table, at coffee table.

As a LACTUMama, I'm always on the lookout for acti As a LACTUMama, I'm always on the lookout for activities that will help support Twinkle's Immunity, Brain and Bones. Good thing this All Around Development Kit from @Lactum3 arrived over the week, kaya naman ito ang aming bonding activity this weekend!

Ang saya ni Twinkle because it has all the fun exercises and activities she really enjoys doing. We planted Arugula, Mustard, and Alfalfa seeds, painted the post, solved a puzzle, and played Twister. Afterwards, I made sure to give her a glass of cold Vitaminized Lactum 3+ which helps support her all-around development in Immunity, Brain and Bones with proper nutrition and stimulation.
