Why Crispy Cebu Roasted Lechon Belly is an Iconic Favorite
Anthony Bourdain famously declared Cebu lechon 'the best pig ever.' Unlike other roasted pigs that require dipping sauce, authentic Cebu lechon is so deeply infused with aromatics that it is best savored completely on its own or with a dash of native spiced vinegar.
