A Taste of History: The Story of Cebu Lechon
Cebu Lechon traces its origins to Cebu, a province in the Philippines where roasting whole pigs has become an art form. This centuries-old tradition began under Spanish colonial rule, but over time, Filipinos made it their own by adding unique spices and local ingredients. This distinct preparation involves slow roasting a marinated whole pig over charcoal to achieve the iconic crispy skin and tender, flavorful meat that is beloved today. What makes Cebu’s version so special is its simplicity combined with depth of flavor, which requires expertise, patience, and the utmost care in preparation.
At B’s Sizzling Kitchen, we honor this rich tradition while putting our own twist on it. Our Cebu Lechon recipe, handed down from generation to generation, is our pride and joy. When we serve our Lechon, we aren’t just serving food—we’re sharing a legacy and celebrating Filipino heritage.
