Lechon. The word alone evokes happy memories during Filipino special occasion.
In almost any occasion in the country, lechon is a must. It is the star during fiestas, Christmas and other major celebrations. Famous chef and TV host Anthony Bourdain had rated our lechon the best in the world.
And what’s Christmas and New Year without the famous inasal/lechon (roasted suckling pig)?
Having lechon on the table is tradition for most Filipino families.
To usher in the holidays, we’ve done a survey in search of the tastiest lechon in Bohol.
This listing is based on the recommendations of food experts, foodies and certified lechon lovers.
