Since my camera broke the day before in Boracay, this video was filmed using Anton’s camera.
When we were in Manila, Anton said he had a special dinner surprise for use. I honestly had no idea what to expect, and we had just gotten off the plane back to Manila from Boracay. We arrived to someone’s home, and still I had no idea what were were doing or what we were going to eat. Then, out from the kitchen emerged a golden suckiling pig, known as a lechon. We were at the home of one of the most well known and considered one of the best places to eat lechon in Manila, Pepita’s Kitchen with the Lechon Diva!
Lechon de Leche is the Filipino version of a roast suckling pig, and at Pepita’s Kitchen, she experiments with different types of lechon, and one of her signature versions is lechon stuffed with truffle rice. As soon as she sliced the lechon, you could just hear the incredible crunch of the skin, and the steamy truffle laced rice had an amazing aroma.
We started with the skin, which was absurdly crispy – it was incredibly good. I don’t think I’ve ever tasted anything so crispy in my entire life. We then had dinner, including some of the meat of the lechon, plus the skin. It was the most delicious, lechon or version of roast pig I may have ever had in my life.
Pepita’s Kitchen in Manila is not a restaurant, but it’s a home where you can reserve a lechon and invite your friends and family to eat there, or to take away.
Eating lechon in the Philippines is really a special meal. It’s eaten on festive occasions, and at special family times. It’s a meal that’s really a part of the culture in the Philippines.
Thank you to Anton for bringing me here, and to Dedet de la Fuente (the Lechon Diva) for cooking us lechon and for the entire experience!
