Food & Grocery Best Posts in Thread: Lechon

Would be great IF the next time someone stopped in they took a picture of their "menu" and prices - IF they have one. Looks like they upgraded enough it is possible.

The last couple I bought were from the place... from Hypermart take the left fork to National Highway (not the right fork to Robinson Mall), just before the corner of National Hwy, on the right. (if you miss it and continue straight you would cross National Hwy and end up in FoodNet's parking lot. Fro9m that Foodnet, cross National Hwy, it is 70 meters or so on the left) Park in front and walk around back to talk to them. Most of the pigs they have there are already spoken for but you can discuss what size, price etc you want. They cook them there and will deliver on a wood tray (needs to be returned). My wife did the negotiating so I don't know price details, another place to look though.

 

The local flavor 'Negros Oriental Visayan' of Cebuano is not the one Google uses. My point was, while helpful, it is not 100% accurate for this area (or the other couple dozen versions of the language).

 

Don't knock it until you try it mate!

Try stuffing a Chicken with Bacon, roast it until golden brown, break open the Chicken, remove the Bacon, throw it into a frying pan and fry it until crispy then make a Chicken Gravy from it, even God would give you two thumbs up!

 

I still can't get my Google Translate to work, must need an update somehow, no matter how many times I click I can't find the "Negros Oriental Visayan to English" translator. Guess I will have to stick to the translation my wife, her (oops, our hahaha) family, their neighbors, our neighbors, every other local I have met, and 'all the girls Dave has loved before' use on a daily basis. Including her FB post this Thursday when she used our new rotisserie for the first time and posted pictures of finished whole chicken along with "#LetchonManok"

 

One of my all time FAVOURITE Dishes I use to cook back in Oz was Roast Chicken stuffed with Smoked Bacon pieces! Honestly; it IS FOOD OF THE GODS! You SHOULD try it! I cannot wait for the day I get to make my own Lechon Baboy STUFFED with Lechon Manok!
