What’s on my plate: Lechon baboy AKA roast pig on the spit
Warning: Vegetarians, now is the time to overt your eyes and get stuck into your leafy green garden salad.
Yip, on my plate today is roasted pig, also known in the Philippines as Lechon baboy. It is traditionally prepared for Christmas celebrations, but is also commonplace at birthday parties, weddings, Debuts, family reunions and it seems, an everyday lunch delight as well.

So what was our very first meal in the Philippines you ask?
That’s right – Jollibee. The only fast food franchise to surpass McDonalds in the Philippines.
We thought we were being adventurous by choosing a traditional Filopino style meal. Big mistake. Only a spoonful was consumed before it was pushed aside for a delicious mango/peach pie for dessert. Yum!

So.. What’s on your plate?
Upon arriving in the Philippines, the first thing that becomes blatantly obvious is the Filopino’s infatuation with food. It is a hot subject on each and every Filipino’s lips. If you want to win the hearts of 90 million Filipinos, it is guaranteed to be made through their stomachs.
This latest series is a gastronomy of Filopino foods served up; from fine dining, traditional and non Filipino, to the ‘wtf’ is that?!
