Kalami Cebu! - A Gastronomic Guide to Cebu

An awesome month has just passed and it was a hectic month for my tummy.  September is my birth month. I expected it to be busy and it really was.   I actually had a hard time picking the 32 best food and drink items of the month.   Why 32? Well, Cebu has a phone area code of 032 making that number somehow significant to Cebuanos and to Kalami Cebu.  

Last Sinulog, I had a couple of friends coming over from Manila and we had several food trips.  One of their favorites was the first place that I brought them to while they were here, Cebu's Original Lechon Belly at Parkmall. Cebu City is probably the roasted pork capital in the world and one of the recent trends when it comes to preparing a lechon is the lechon belly. The boneless lechon is made of purely the trunk of the pig. This version has no head, tails, and bones.  The lechon belly is perfect for people who do not like to see a pig's head while having lunch.  The lechon belly makers basically isolates all the best parts of a lechon for your enjoyment.
