Kalami Cebu! - A Gastronomic Guide to Cebu

When it comes to food, the number 1 item that Cebuanos would be proud of is our inasal or lechon .  For years, it has been our trademark and even the late Anthony Bourdain exclaimed that here in Cebu, he found t he best pig ever.   In the past, we normally eat Lechon Cebu at hole-in-wall eating places.  Now, we see the rise of many restaurants that offer Lechon as its main specialty and one of the best of this kind of establishments is the House of Lechon.  I recently visited their newest branch at Don Jose Avila St., Capitol Site and here is a short review.

When it comes to Lechon, one of my personal favorites is the spicy lechon of Rico's Lechon. I also loved the fact that one of their many branches is just a 3-minute drive away from our house. Recently, this favorite lechon brand opened a new branch in Mactan Promenade.  The new restaurant looks different and it is offering new tasty dishes that you rarely see in typical lechon places in Cebu.
