Boarcher Cebu Lechon is now in Manila

-
There's a new kid in town and I'm pretty sure you'll like "him" very much. After all... who says no to Lechon?

Aside from the ever popular Adobo which is probably the dish that's synonymous to Filipino cooking, Lechon remains to be one that never fails to make every Filipino and non-Filipino's heart skip a beat. From the shiny, mouth-watering crunchy skin down to its fragrant and tender meat, I remember making several visits with my local colleagues and friends to this famous Cebu Lechon stall in Paya Lebar in Singapore whenever they'd ask me to take them to try a Filipino dish.

In fact, there are several versions of lechon all over the country. Some would serve it with sarsa (sauce), others would stuff it with aromatic tanglad (lemongrass), my talented friend D has her classy Lechon with Truffle Rice inside and well in Cebu, it's serve just as it is. The meat has a hint of salt and the skin slightly thick with a layer of fat underneath and the best way to enjoy this is to simply have it with rice. Even the late Anthony Bourdain proclaimed Cebu lechon to be the "best pig ever."

So, imagine the excitement that we had here at home when we got two cute wooden plates of lechon from Boarcher Lechon. Hailing from the Queen City of the South, Cebu, Boarcher Lechon is finally here in Manila and they're ready to delivery freshly roasted native lechon straight to your doorstep.

Check out their price list, they can cater to your party regardless if you're a group of 7 or 70 pax. I feel that the price is very reasonable. Can you imagine catering to 70 pax for a lechon that's less than Php. 10,000?

Taste-wise, I loved it! Well, I've always been a fan of Cebu Lechon as I don't like adding any more sarsa to my pork so this works so well for me. True to form, the meat has a nice hint of salt and the skin stayed really crunchy even after it was delivered to us and it sat on the table while we prepared the other viands too. It got everyone's approval too. Looks like we will be making our next order very soon!

I still remembered how I once had to fly in a lechon all the way from Davao (haha, I know!). This is also commonly done by people who travels to Cebu or they'd also order straight from Cebu and would have their lechon shipped to Manila too. Now, Boarcher Lechon is here ready to serve you authentic Cebu Lechon that's roasted here in Manila. You're assured of getting good quality, fresh from the pit lechon all the time.

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Lumbung Sari: House of Coffee in Ubud, Bali

Aside from its beautiful beaches and sunset views, Bali is also known for its coffee. Actually Indonesia is one of the world's top coffee producers and Bali, in particular, is known for a certain type of coffee called kopi luwak . It's actually one of the more premium kind and this is because of how it's produced. Kopi Luwak otherwise known as civet coffee  is produced by this tiny furry creature called the civet cat. They're fed coffee cherries and the coffee beans actually comes out when they poop. I know it sounds gross but people believe that the enzymes produced by the civet cat and the fermentation that happens inside is body brings more flavor and improves the quality of the coffee. So after they excretes it out, the farmers will then clean it, roast and grind it before brewing the coffee. Every time Paul and I travel, we love to inject a bit of history and cultural learning about the place that we're visiting. So, when I proposed the idea of visitin...
