The Lechon of the Philippines

Every country has their own unique cuisines from Japan having the sushi, Korea holding the kimchi, China having the most delectable collection of noodles, and many more. The Philippines also holds some of the most delectable dishes in the world, and this includes the Philippine Lechon.



Though the Lechon may seem very much like any roasted pig, this in particular has become Philippine's most popular and traditional dish. The Philippine Lechon is a Spanish word meaning Suckling Pig. But in the Philippines, it connotes a whole roasted pig, which they call the Lechon Baboy (Roasted Pig).



Because of its popularity, the Lechon even became the highlight of a special festivity in Balayan Batangas in which the batangenios there call it the Parada nang mga Lechon or Parade of Lechons where lechons are paraded down the road.

The typical process of roasting a Lechon involves the whole pig/piglet, chicken, or cattle/calf being slowly roasted over charcoal. A Lechon is commonly served with liver-based gravy or sometimes served Chinese style with steamed buns and a sweet plum sauce.



Lechon is usually cooked during national festivities especially that on Balayan Batangas. But aside from that, Lechon are also popularly seen on the holiday season such as Christmas, and other special occasions such as weddings, graduations, birthdays and baptisms, or family get-togethers.



Other versions of a Lechon include the Lechon kawali which is cooked in a large frying pan and cooked to a crisp. Visit any In Lechon Philippine to get to know how to buy Lechon online.
