If you live in America, then you may have tried Lechon if you attended a party hosted by Filipino friends. Believe me, though, Lechon tastes so much better in the Philippines. Specifically, I think Cebu makes the BEST tasting Lechon in the world!! For those of you who do not know, Lechon is a whole roasted pig!! A true Filipino Delicacy!! We stopped in at the House of Lechon in Talisay, Cebu to try their version of Lechon. They make a regular Lechon and a spicy Lechon. Both taste fantastic!! Love the mixture of spices they use to make such flavorful lechon!! My favorite was the Spicy Lechon!! It was the best I tasted during our 3 week trip in the Philippines. I tried about a dozen of them!! Hey, there were a lot of parties that we attended and each one served lechon. Anyways, the House of Lechon in Talisay, Cebu is a wonderful place to try this popular Filipino delicacy! Their restaurant looks great inside. Beautifully decorated and the staff was awesome!! 5 stars for the House of Lechon!! They know what they are doing here!!

All the dishes we picked were great tasting and super fresh from the grilled squid, tanguingue seviche, mud crabs, grilled prawns, sweet and sour red snapper, scallops, and blue marlin, as well as shrimps in chili sauce.

Service was quick and efficient with the servers always smiling and attentive. Try the fried mini crabs as an appetizer. Yumm. Highly recommend this place.

Ordered Crispy Pata, Kare-Kare, Fresh Vegetarian Lumpia, Ube Sago (Boba). Crispy Pata is pork leg with skin & bones boiled till tender & deep fried, crispy, so tasty. Be careful of bones tough on your teeth. Kare-Kare is beef stew with peanut sauce, thick & creamy with Pechay, like Bokchoy. Fresh Vegetable Lumpia is veggies wrapped in crepe like wrapper & rolled. Lumpia is not fried a healthy option. It comes with tasty sauce. Ube sago is more like Ube ice cream shake with Boba tapioca pearls. Ube is purple yam, Also good as a dessert drink. It's so rich, creamy & delicious. Nice ending to a great meal. Needless to say I rolled out of the restaurant with leftovers for my next meal in tow. The restaurant is in Robinson shopping mall with parking available. Free WiFi is available. This is my family's favorite traditional ilongo restaurant. Anyone visiting Iloilo must come & try this restaurant.

The crispy pata is very good that has some crunchy skin and that perfect umami saltiness. This is located in the province of Iloilo where my in-laws are from. A very nice, upscale resto and oh, you can bring your own liquor and drink there even if it's a black label. They allow it and will even provide ice if you like that. It's a trendy place, clean, wonderful staff. I liked this place and all the foods we had. If you know your Filipino food like i do? I highly recommend this for a nice special dinner. This is a good place.

There really isnt a lot of parking available, but as long as you can fit your car in a spot, youre good. There have definitely grown a lot in the many years of my absence. I remember it was an all outdoor setting and the restaurant was still halfway through the field. Now, it takes up the entire lot with a second story spaces and airconditioned rooms and private rooms. I dont ever recall having a turo turo/ karenderia setting, but its there now and its the same as the food as they serve in the menu. Like most restaurants here, they have a place to wash their hands that is outside of the restrooms which makes it super convenient and you dont have to crowd the restrooms for that. Also, you can fill your own water pitchers or glasses at their self serve water station just beside the hand washing station. They were all very attentive to us. We had over a party of 15 of all ages and everyone was pretty fed and satisfied.

The restaurant is trendy looking, with chalk board wall displays and greenery. We ordered cocktails, and the purple pina colada was amazing! For appetizers, we got the sticky pork ribs and the tuna rolls. The sticky pork ribs were delicious; best thing we tried! We also had the fish & prawn curry and the bao sliders. We thought both were pretty good! The curry was very tasty! The mango sticky rice was fine. And I enjoyed a cinnamon roll. We thought it was a nice place for dinner. It was a little overhyped but still worth checking out.

I'll be honest, that dinner with the family was quite nice but I can't really point to anything memorable, other than I liked the table settings and presentation of the food. We were a party of 40?? And they were prepared. But in staying eight (8) nights at the Richmonde for a vacation to visit family, I'm so glad we opted to pay extra for the buffet breakfast. I know, I know - Anthony Bourdain states that we should grab a meal far away from the hotel, but I actually liked it here. If you're not seated in the main dining area, by the kitchen, you'll be seated in the bar area. That's what I call the Business Class section. You may have to walk a little farther for your food, but it's not as busy and you can have a quiet conversation. As for the food, I really loved the omelettes which are made to order - I usually just asked for everything. There is a wide variety of breads, rolls, cakes (calorie counting??, not anymore), jams, cereals, there's just a ton of carb choices. My favorite was the Champorado - which is a chocolate rice porridge. Yes, this was a childhood memory in a bowl, topped with condensed milk. For protein, there was a lot of that too - longanisa sausages, beef tapa, and pork Tocino. There was a lot of fresh fruit too, and unlimited bacon. One warning, the coffee was not strong enough so have the hot chocolate instead. It was a pleasure to come here every morning and I had extra family members join me and they don't charge it to your room, so bring your credit card with you.
