My wife is Filipina from Mindanao. We’ve been married for 30 years and live in CT. My son is also Filipino and his wife. They told me the best Lechon is in Talisay, Cebu.
The way everyone happily took the pig back just so you could record it being brought in was amazing lol. What a nice and hospitable group. That lechon looks delicious.
Oh my gosh the customer service is amazing!! They were just super happy to serve you. I have never received that type of customer service in Canada ahahahh
It is a hard competition for Lechon in Cebu.. But most people you ask will say either House of Lechon or Ricos Lechon.. In terms of the big places.. I prefer this one, "House of Lechon" because they also have a good selection of other authentic filipino dishes in a good quality.
Hi Jonathan, I think from watching your videos that the hospitality and friendliness of the people always takes first place when in the Philippines. It is great advertising to the local restaurants in which you eat.
Wow Jonathan, I am now starving. Love watching your videos. My wife is from Cebu. Been married to my Filipino now for eight years and I love Filipino food here in LA California.
hahah sorry for making you hungry! I made myself hungry editing this one. Oh yeah, I bet there are a lot of Filipino restaurants on the west coast since it's "closer" to the Philippines. Thank you for watching the videos!
Man, avoid saying "my Filipino". Filipinos having been colonised and treated like lower class citizens or even slaves by the Spanish and then the Americans, it gives off a degrading tone like owning someone as an object (or a slave). Say "my Filipino wife" instead. Just a friendly tip 😊
I'll be back in February to video some knife makers and visit my Filipino family. Hit me up then and we'll do a collaboration vid. Perhaps an old fashioned Lechon roast in the heart of Bamboo village. If you're in town. @@travelescapesOFFICIAL
Keep doing videos my man you're energy and cheerful disposition in life is what brings out the best in everyone you meet. So much fun watching your vids ❤
Thank you for saying that! All of their energy in this video definitely brought out my positive mood here too! They were a super fun staff at this restaurant!
"Cebu Lechon" is the Best in the World. According to Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmerman who visited Cebu, Philippines 🇵🇭. Both of them are Chef Cook, Author, Americans and have a Food Network Channel in the U.S.A. You can eat Lechon with your hand or fork, spoon, chopsticks, whichever you prefer, we Filipinos eat it with our hands..😂 I always subscribe to your Channel Jonathan, always: God Bless, "Amping" meaning in Bisaya dialect Take Care!...
Hello,@travelscape thank you for showing us all the views the attractions of the Philippines that Rio playa was very stunning view Im glad that you desided to go in your trip despite of some problems of your trip,but thats part of your adventure setbacks.I enjoyed your videos.
I can say that you are a vlogger who truly embrace our culture because you spend most of your time in the province where life is not so very convenient compared to the city life. You come to experience Filipinos resilience.
I love how they informed you the way to eat the kinilaw with the rice cracker. I would definitely have the vinegar, soy sauce and calamansi sauce for the lechon., though I would try the spicy sauce. When you were dipping the lechon in the vinegar, soy sauce and calamansi sauce, I swear I smelled the lechon for a second 😂. I would definitely visit this place. Thanks for the video on this!
Hi Jonathan ! Wow I can’t believe you’re there close to where i leave. At downtown Cebu City ! If you get a chance, come visit the “Temple of Leah “ , and theres a restaurant there called “ Cebu Tops “ which is overlooking the mountain view . Also check out the Sirao Garden . Have fun exploring the city of Cebu ! 😁🇵🇭❤️
oohh that's the viewpoint place!? I wanted to go there but didn't get a chance! I already left but will have to do it next time! Thanks for the suggestion!
You just got a new subscriber. Subscribed not only because you do Philippines based content, but because I can tell that you genuinely love and enjoy everything you do here. On behalf of filipinos, we watching your videos is our own way of saying "I know right" to every foreigner saying "this is so good". Also, did you just say you love food with coconut milk and that you love spicy? Sir, may I borrow a moment of your time to introduce the Express that is made out of Bicol
Awww. They did a Lil reality TV in the beginning. They so nice. Thanks for the vid sir I actually Ike seeing you eating and getting the instant reaction.
Your channel is a stress reliever. My wife and I enjoy watching your interactions with the locals. You seem like you're really having a good time. Thanks!!!
Omg you are in Cebu. I hope you could come and visit Zamboanga City. I would be happy to welcome you with open arms.Enjoy your stay in the Philippines.
Proud guy here in Canada!! Born and race in cebu city!! 12 years never been home i miss my city!! Shout out all my cebuanos people !! Always watching your vlog right now !Stay safe and enjoy your travel in Philippines🫰🫰🫰
Hi Jonathan, there's a House of Lechon here in Tagbilaran, Bohol also. The food is very good also especially the kinilaw & baked scallops. We celebrated our mother's 2nd death anniversary by having our lunch there last October 28. Ayo-ayo, amazing ❤️
Hey Dave! I'm hard to track down honestly haha... I'm always traveling to make videos. In the last couple months I made videos in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Davao city, Samal, Siquijor, Cebu city, Moalboal, and Carmen. I'm rarely in one place for too long so it makes it difficult, but I run into viewers all the time! It's definitely possible we run into each other!
Another incredible video ….. I’m sure we all can say, “We are hungry for Lechon”. The food looks better than any US Restaurant that I’ve been to. Every time you mention “Kinilaw” it makes me want to try it more and more. Thank you again for such a wonderful video.
Lami kaayo ang Excellent customer service. Kudos!!!🎉
Год назад+1
I always enjoy watching your adventures, especially with food "discoveries" hehe. I just noticed that your shirt matches your eyes. and it's already 139k subs... just happy for you, man.
Thank you!! My eyes change colors to match my shirts actually. If my shirt is blue, grey, or green, my eyes will appear that color. Thank you for watching and supporting!
7:46 “Tangingi” is kingfish. There’s no rule whether or not “lechon” is eaten with the silverware or with the hand. The “kinilaw” on the rice cracker, I believe, is for a crackling texture against the softened fish in sauce.
13:40 We'd eat anything with our hands if we feel like it. I wonder if you've tried the 'Takubo' kinilaw. A huge clam shell. I miss that dish. Just gotta make sure it's really fresh though. So do find a reliable source if you want to try it.
You vlogging businesses will definitely help boost a certain establishement helping them in so many ways.So nice ok f them to give you complimentary food. ❤❤❤❤
Oooo it sells out throughout the day?! I suppose that makes sense as I’m sure they want fresh Lechon and very day there. Maybe it’s better for go for lunch then it possible
ooohh that would be difficult 😂.. I'm a slow editor and always overanalyze my videos, rewatching them multiple times making changes before uploading. I'd like to post 2 or 3 times a week though! I appreciate you following along and watching!
He could have edited out the part where they put the giant roast pig back into the truck so that he could get the perfect video, but glad to see it, as it’s proof yet again of how Filipino people can really be so friendly and hospitable .
That lemon grass tea drink is the best. I always make it at home cos it's my family's favourite drink. Kinilaw with gata (coconut milk) is super delish 😋 and paired with lechon, wow ! What a meal 😋🤩 keep safe Jonathan and God bless you always 🙏 🤗🍀🙌❤️
I have to start making that iced lemongrass tea at home also! It might be a life changer 😂 and yes! I was very happy with my food choices here! Thank you for watching!
Can't wait to go to Cebu and try that, I'm a huge scallops fan and those look delicious! Also, when I was in Baguio I found a very nice little Cafe that had the best hot lemon grass tea....I miss the philippines so much! Edit....I think your waiter likes you!....lol
it's funny how the guy chopping the lechon just gave him a free taste, HAAHAHAHHA I guess you can't even do that in some restaurant. it's just wholesome, and a little funny. AHHAHAH
I just retired and I’m planning a trip to the Philippines and I will look for your videos for more information. Thank you for sharing your trips bro 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow verry nice yummy lechon Jonathan your in Cebu every where you go people really recognice you because you are friendly person yummy you got139 subscriber 14,392 views as of today 6 of november its me from hongkong take care God bless.
I was born in Toledo, Cebu also lived in Carcar, and in Mandaue but my siblings now lived in Ormoc city Leyte and Taguig, Manila. Cebu makes the best chicharons

I completely agree! Thank you for watching!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Hey Bro 😎 Happy New Year 🎆 I presume you’re still in the USA 🇺🇸 I’ll be going back to the Philippines 🇵🇭 soon. Stay safe
OMG bring on the food. I’ve heard so many good things about that place. Definitely on the food bucket list.
That's the place to go in Cebu City!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL In which place were you? There are, like, four places of the House of Lechon, in Cebu.
Really? I didn't know that. This was near Ayala Mall in the Business district @@i-am-your-conscience
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL there is even one from them on Bohol now, in Tagbilaran, if I remember correctly ;)
My wife is Filipina from Mindanao. We’ve been married for 30 years and live in CT. My son is also Filipino and his wife. They told me the best Lechon is in Talisay, Cebu.
Lechon is a must in Cebu! 3:58 They also serve classic Bibingka & Puto Bumbong. 8:25 Kinilaw and Baked Scallops NICE! 😋👍

lechon can be eaten either by using your hand (fingers) or with a fork
@@Yjn75i guess even american have some typo errors sometimes 🙂
I love that place!!! So dang good. Can't wait to go back! Great video...
it's sooo good!

Great video again. The food videos and just hanging out with the locals are always some of my favorites.
Thanks Jason! Plenty more of those types of videos to come!
Thank you, Jonathan. Cebu and House of Lechon are places I need to add to my bucket list.
Makes me want to fly to Cebu and just eat!

You picked the correct Kinilaw. Always go for the Tanigue. Tanigue is Spanish Mackerel.
Hey Jon...thanks for sharing your lunch with us. Yes...my mouth was watering! Are you easy to find when U.S. foreigners arrive for a chat?

Lechon eat as u enjoy as u like ! We just have lechon too last night . So crispy too.
Thank you Jonathan. I want to try that restaurant wen I go back to Cebu!
Explore more places here in the philippines

Your eyes, ang ganda po😊
i love the humor..
Hello sir have a great time
Enjoy!
thank you!!
Wow so delicious letchon
It was!
I can't believe it's been a year since the last visit there already. I remember you had a hard time finding it on your first visit.
Very good service indeed
oh my gosh, I'm salivating! I miss lechon Cebu
try also dipping the scallops with the sawsawan vinegar..
Hope you had a great time in Cebu!
I did!
Sarap ng lechon!
You should try Bicol Express..that dish with coconut milk too..
Can't wait to go to Cebu and try that, I'm a huge scallops fan and those look delicious! Also, when I was in Baguio I found a very nice little Cafe that had the best hot lemon grass tea....I miss the philippines so much!
Edit....I think your waiter likes you!....lol
I actually couldn’t even taste the scallops though 😂 the cheese flavor was the most prominent flavor in those. All of the food was very good though!
it's funny how the guy chopping the lechon just gave him a free taste, HAAHAHAHHA I guess you can't even do that in some restaurant. it's just wholesome, and a little funny. AHHAHAH
One nice thing about "taking up a table" is that others can join you :)
Been there, and you should go as its great!
It was!
I have eaten here multiple times. This is near to my office before pandemic. It's not just lechon that's delicious here.
Going home to spend Xmas after spending my last Christmas there in 2009 …… Melbourne 🇦🇺 Thank you for making us more homesick 😢😊
now you have a comparison of what you had before, have fun, next time try the Oslob whale shark, must try in cebu
