    Wow I’m amazed how fast you upload, as a UA-camr myself it’s not so easy editing while traveling.😊 I’m glad you like the lechon! I think I have never tried the ones from Cebu.😢 I’m guessing your next spot will be the the beautiful island.? 😊

    Good to know that the waitstaff at Rico's taught you how to make dipping sauce for lechon which is the most common Cebuano dipping sauce for their grilled and fried meat and fish. The simple concoction of vinegar and soy sauce with a hot chili pepper and Philippine lime (locally called in Cebuano as limonsito) is a signature Cebuano dipping sauce.

    Wow, lechon! Most filipinos consider it as luxuriours food being served during fiestas, holidays and other special occasions! You will feel very festive whenever there is a lechon on the table. Yum!

    I have been to Cebu City a number of times . Never been two these establishments , and as yet never experienced good Lechon .I keep on hearing how wonderful it is , so I will go to House of Lechon next time . The Lechon at Ricos fails due to lank ( not crispy ) skin . That’s the first thing you expect . Actually the best Lechon I have tasted in Philippines wasn’t even in the Island of Cebu . It was in CDO Mindanao 😅

    I agree. House of Lechon is better than Rico's simply because the former uses authentic Carcar-style lechon which is the perfect example of how Cebu lechon should taste like. I once tried dining at Rico's during the early evening for dinner and was very disappointed because the skin was no longer crunchy although the taste was still good. But with Carcar lechon, every time we had our occasional beach getaway to southern Cebu, we always dropped by Carcar City to buy lechon in midmorning (9AM) for our lunch. Every time we had left overs, the skin stayed crunchy all through the evening. That's almost 12 hours since we purchased the lechon from the vendor.

    Who is from Cebu here? David did something hardly seen from other vloggers touring the city which is comparing House from Rico’s. I dunno if it’s the pig’s part served in the latter that makes it look grainy, and chewy. And, the saltiness is also on the downside. But the serving looks bigger and more satisfying. I wonder what are the locals take on this. Good job, David. Very informative, and certainly helpful for people looking forward to visit Cebu sometime in the future.

    Nice. BTW, if you're planning to go further to the south, i suggest you check out Simala Shrine. Tho it is not a historical place, it's more of a religious place. It's actually a very big castle/cathedral with a really regal art style and nice view. There are images in google you can see. No popular youtuber actually vlogs about that place. Maybe just yet.

    FYI lechon Cebu may be famous but it doesn’t mean that it originated there and it’s only where you can have it. To me the Cebu version is a tad too salty and less crispy for my taste. Rico’s lechon is overrated in my book. Lechon can be enjoyed all over the Philippines. You can even find the best lechons in La Loma, Quezon City. Try Elar’s lechon it’s something to die for.
