Not all pigs are created equal. There are some that are tasty, some are appetizing. But, only one lechon in the archipelago can claim to be sinfully-delicious, the Cebu lechon. This scrumptiously-delectable dish is so tasty one former president once had them flown to the nation’s capital just to enjoy it. A renowned TV host also declared the lechon of Cebu as the “best pig ever.” There are many places where you can buy the Cebu lechon in the city. One of these places is Auring’s Lechon.

Cebu Lechon
When the word “lechon” is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is the world-famous Cebu lechon. It is so tasty it does not need any sauce or gravy to enjoy it. While there are many lechon makers in Cebu, no one can really claim to be the best in the island since it all depends on the taste buds of their customers.
