If you’ve been into a Filipino fiestas, birthdays, anniversaries and any other special occasions, you’ll probably have seen a LECHON or the famous “Lechon de Leche.” Lechon is one of the most popular dishes in Filipino food culture. When you hear the word CEBU, PHILIPPINES this place is known for having the best lechon. The Cebuano version of lechon involves removing of the inside parts of the pig, and then stuffing it with different spices such as lemon grass, garlic, laurel, onion leaks and other spices to make it more flavorful. After all spices are complete, then it’s time to roast it with charcoals. You need to twist it again and again for about 4 hours for it to be cooked fairly on all parts of the pig.
With Cebu’s Lechon de Leche menu, you will surely love its savory aroma, crispy skin and flavorful tender meat of roasted pig. You could actually pair this with “PUSO” (hanging rice in English term) or with a plain rice.
Last Sunday, my youngest brother just celebrated his 21st Birthday. It is the “debut” stage for men. My family and I prepared a surprise for him in our province in Argao, Cebu, Philippines. I’m just amazed how time flies. God knows how grateful we are as a family when my brother was given a second life few years ago. He was battling with dengue when he was still a baby and we really thought that we’ll gonna lose him that time. However, we didn’t lose hope and we prayed so hard to God to heal my brother. He was given a second life then that’s why every birthday of him means so much to us. We really make it to a point to celebrate his Birthday every year no matter how simple it may be.
We celebrated the Birthday of my brother with family, relatives and friends. We are just so happy seeing everyone enjoying the celebration. Upon looking into the eyes of my parents and my family, I told myself that this was the life that I prayed for few years ago. We are so grateful to God for all the blessings He has given to us.
Now, join me as I share to you the simple Birthday celebration of my brother that’s full of love, happiness and contentment. Indeed, PROVINCE LIFE hits different.
