Press Release Body: Filipino cuisine has some of the most unique and delectable
collection of delicacies. Among of the many favorites of Filipinos, even those
Filipinos abroad, is the Filipino dish Adobo. Adobo is the Spanish word for
seasoning or marinade. The noun form is used to describe the actual marinade or
seasoning mix, and the term used for a meat which has been marinated or seasoned
with an adobo is referred to having been adobada.
While there has been debate amongst local food historians as to what the national
dish of the Philippines actually is, most Filipinos consider adobo (pork and/or
chicken) to be the dish of their country. But aside from Adobo, there is another
Filipino delicacy which is quite popular with bigger and grander celebrations.
Now an Adobo can be cooked anytime, even without an occasion. But this particular
Filipino dish is more popularly seen on a special occasion or celebration, and this
Filipino dish is the Philippine
Lechon
.
Lechon is a Spanish term for Suckling pig. In the Philippines, it connotes a whole
roasted pig or the Philippine Lechon Baboy. Chicken and beef are also popular in
some parts of the country.
The process of cooking a Philippine Lechon involves the whole pig or piglet,
chicken, or cattle or calf being slowly roasted over charcoal.
The Philippine Lechon is often cooked during national festivities, on the holiday
season, and other special occasions such as weddings, graduations, birthdays and
baptisms, or family get-togethers.
The Philippine Lechon is usually the best part and the most popular dish of these
events. It is usually served with a liver-based gravy or sauce. But in some cases,
it may be served Chinese style with steamed buns and a sweet plum sauce.
In Metro Manila, a popular place to purchase some Philippine Lechon is La Loma, an
area within the boundary area between Manila and Quezon City. Many restaurants
selling Lechon year round can be found there.
There is also a festival in Balayan, Batangas that is centered on href=http://www.expressregalo.com/lechontown.aspx>Philippine Lechon. The “Parada
of Lechon” is a festival in which 50 lechons are gathered in anticipation of the
celebration.
Now because of the internet revolutionizing the way we buy and sell stuff, buying a
Philippine Lechon has also became a lot easier. A perfect example of an online shop
that provides a Philippine Lechon is Express Regalo. For more information about the
