Not gonna lie, that food looks slammin' 5:56. You know it's going to be good because everything is absolutely glistening. Also, Cebu has the best food in all of the Philippines. I'm Filipino American and grew up eating Filipino food at home and going to Filipino Restaurants in the States, but I was never blown away until I went to Cebu. All the best cooks are in Cebu.
@Funky Child....That's absolutely true. Because all the popular dishes (e.g. bulalo, sisig, lechon, tinolang manok/isda, adobo, etc.) that most Luzon and Metro Manila people brag about don't actually compare to what Cebuano people do in their style of preparation and the use of ingredients. So I agree with your observation.
That was a lot of delicious foods you ordered. Thank you for showcasing the Philippines as a go-to destination for people who want to enjoy nature, the food and hospitality of the Filipinos.
Gosh Mergim you are so busy with you’re travel vlogs and you must’ve been stuffed! Sisig, Adobong Kangkong, Sinigang, Calamares and Lechon is a lot to eat. You missed Puto Bumbong you’re favorite! We saw it from when they showed you Halo-Halo. So happy to see you back in Cebu! We’re actually from there but live now in 🇺🇸. We actually asked friends and family to subscribe to you because you’re different from any other vlogger. You work hard and research for every content you show us. Keep safe and enjoy the Queen City of the South.
Mergim -- It appears Songkran and Sinulog share the theme of renewal. So wonderful to see people celebrating post COVID. And of course, always happy to see the Chairman of BGC represent.
@Rizaldo Padilla...Sinulog is not a celebration of renewal or life's renewal. Sinulog is all about 'a dance of either being grateful to God (represented by Holy Infant Jesus) or asking favor from God. It's definitely not comparable to Songkran in Thailand. If there is ever a festival in the Philippines that is comparable to Songkran, it is the Easter Festival as Catholics celebrate the risen Jesus Christ and most faithfuls consider it as a 'new life's beginning' after the Christ's ressurrection from the dead.
@@lionhearted1969 Thank you for your correction. Surely the theme of "renewal" can apply to both. I'm taking its meaning as "inclusive" as opposed to "exclusive". Never have I participated in Sinulog nor Songkran. Albeit, both looks to be terrific street parties that I wish to be attending someday.
Some towns in the Philippines have similar water festival, towns that have San Juan (St John the Baptist) as their patron saint will wash you with water during their fiesta
*house of lechon* is actually my number 1 2nd would be lechon from carcar (2 hours away from the city) rico's lechon is 3rd i'm fond of crispy, crunchy lechon skin the crispier, the cruncher, the better hats off to the *house of lechon* they're the winner in that crispy lechon skin department
I'm glad you're in Cebu now!!! love so much the poso (rice wrapped in banana leaves) & course lechon de leche... The kinilaw tangigue with coconut milk & kinilaw seaweeds with a slices of unripe mango, so mouth watering food!!! It's summer time & foods like these are mostly available anywhere in beach area in Cebu...
@house of lechon's lechon is sourced from Carcar in the south of Cebu - that's why it's soooo good. You really know where to have your lechon fix, Mergim! 🤤 Btw, I'm from Cebu myself, and already drooling from this mukbang! LOL
the resto staffs are so welcoming .. service with genuine smile and hospitality despite its almost closing time. the lechon, the sinigang geee looks so delicious. makes me want to book my flight to Cebu now na.
Nice video Mergim! Thanks for coming back to the Philippines at once. We miss your Vlogs here... You ordered too much Mergim. As if you haven't eaten for 3 days ha ha ha
You make me hungry and I'm drooling watching you with all the yummy food.😋🤩Ask for a box to take the left over, put in the ref. and you can always reheat. You can save for another meal. 😀😆. Your halohalo is a mess!🤣😂
you should probably know by now that cebuanos' lechon dipping game is different. i still prefer the luzon way of dipping personally. either way, both are good. just depends on your preferences.
yay back in cebu, you have to go back to south cebu and do a waterfalls paradise day ,so many gorgeous places aside from kawasan . also do tuburan ,cebu in north , lots of hidden gems
The "sauce" that is served with the lechon is the juice oozing out of the lechon. You can add that to your rice. Some sip it like soup. Some add a bit of soy sauce, vinegar, calamnsi
Mergim, the trick in mixing halohalo is to just get the spoon down to the bottom and then keep it moving down there, in a stirring motion until the ice loosens up, melting away and you have all the ingredients swirling around, enough to be able to now raise the spoon and mix thoroughly with an up and down motion.
FYI. In Cebu as we have the best tasting Lechon, we don't have the Mang Tomas sauce like in Luzon or Manila. We only dip it in Vinegar with chili or with soy sauce
I’m a Filipino American just found your video. Oh, I love Lechon one of my favorite. All the food that you order are so delicious. That is what I’m looking forward every time I visited my home country.
We also have a water festival like that here in the Philippines, it is not as big as the Songkran Festival though. It is practiced at San Juan City to honor St. John the Baptist.
You should also try visiting Vigan then go to Pagudpud beach and then Pagudpud Kabigan Falls. There are lots of wonderful scenery along the way going to Pagudpud!
What a life, flying from one big city to another in Asia, and experiencing the best of what the country has to offer, yes Songkran was fun but Philippine festivals are more fun as Pinoys know how to celebrate better, just check the calendar for the upcoming ones. I like House of Lechon the best among others because of the food options, not so busy location and friendly staff, makes me come back for another round of lechon, enjoy mate...
For future trips Mergim. Cebu Pacific on Monday announced a three-day one-way P1 promotional fare, covering select domestic and international destinations. The airline said the P1 one-way base fare will be available from April 17 to April 19, 2023, exclusive of fees and surcharges. The travel period will be from August 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024.
The City of San Juan, Metro Manila has a similar festival.. BTW, for Lechon leftovers, be sure to have someone at home cook Paksiw na Lechon😋 to transform the leftovers into somewhat of a sweet-sour stew..
Great video. I’m a big fan of sisig, too. It’s a shame most westerners turn their nose up at it once they learn the main ingredients are pig’s head and chicken livers. 😂 Beer and sisig is a match made in heaven 😋
Skin lechon-- the best part of the lechon-- specially, the cebu lechon-- because the cebu lechon version is known not to need extra sauce anymore because the salty flavoring is already right there on the skin-- and you left that out 😁-- but anyway, i know it's for healthy reasons, but to address that health concern-- this is why vinegar is needed, lots of it, as extra sauce while eating-- to acid-burn the fat before it circulates in your system-- cebu vinegar sinamak would be a good pairing for it--
I guess it's about time for Sir Mergim to visit the underrated island of Mindanao. Just be educated on where not to go, the 10% of Mindanao. 90% of it is relatively safe. The place is completely different and resembles more to Indonesia or Malaysia.

That lechon skin looks delicious and crispy
The "sauce" that is served with the lechon is the juice oozing out of the lechon. You can add that to your rice. Some sip it like soup.
Some add a bit of soy sauce, vinegar, calamnsi
Thanks mergim, you like the taste of filipino goods, keep up the good work 💯💪💖 and keep safe and good health 💖💯💪 GOD BLESS PO 💖💯🙏💪

Welcome back, mate!
The City of San Juan, Metro Manila has a similar festival.. BTW, for Lechon leftovers, be sure to have someone at home cook Paksiw na Lechon😋 to transform the leftovers into somewhat of a sweet-sour stew..
🇵🇭💖 The Best, Mouthwatering Food!👍🤟 Philippines is a gastronomical destination for food lovers. Of course there's always beautiful nature too!💖
Thailand has the best food l mean it😂
@@roma7923 thats ur opinion and as of mine, its philippines all the way! :)
The Philippines has a thing a bit similar to Songkran, with the water thingy. It's "San Juan Day."
I’m jelous , salivating looks so appetizing
Tell Justin to come back. He’s missing all this!
See you tomorrow hahaha!!
Great video. I’m a big fan of sisig, too. It’s a shame most westerners turn their nose up at it once they learn the main ingredients are pig’s head and chicken livers. 😂 Beer and sisig is a match made in heaven 😋
