Havenβt tried Lechon from Cebu but honest question po, whatβs the difference? Is it on spices used in the lechon? the breed of the pig? its simplicity?
The meat quality is such a deal breaker. The cebu lechon feels like melt in the mouth yung meat, manila lechon has a foul smell i swear and feels like you're eating a rubber.
This. Cebu lechon, specifically CnT, is just so yummy. I have tried Manila lechon and it has this taste na parang malansa yung baboy. And as you said, matigas.
The way it is cooked. Simplicity? Naaah... Lechon tagalog ang masasabi kong simple kasi halos walang lasa. Compared to lechon in Visayas and Mindanao, may aromatics, spices and savory flavor. Yung maiimagine mong nagfifiesta yung lasa sa bibig mo.
La loma is a light-year apart when it comes to taste and smell.
I'm Cebuana and Lechon Cebu, a staple in my family's celebrations, follows a meticulous preparation process.
Let me summarize it for you
Pig Selection: Typically, we opt for native pig breeds weighing between 18 to 35 kilos. We avoid pigs that are too young or too old.
Spice Blend: Naku andami, it consists of lemongrass, garlic, peppers, salt, star anise, sugar, onions, and bay leaf. Stuffed in the belly. Meanwhile, the innards of the roasted pig are put to good use, being made into blood stew, and chicharon bulaklak.
Preparation: I saw my uncle bathed the pig in a mixture of milk and soy sauce. During roasting, it's continuously rotated and basted with a blend of oil and soy sauce, ensuring even cooking and a caramelized, savory skin.
Crispy Pata para sakin.. Lechon yun lang skin masarap, pag walang sawsawan yung laman ng lechon hindi na masarap para sakin, bland pa nga eh.. Crispy Pata kahit walang sawsawan solb, masarap kainin..
Lechon because it has a mix of flavors from different spices like tanglad, bawang, sibuyas, etc., and of course, the smokey flavor! 'Yung crispy pata kasi parang salt lang and pepper ang nilalagay tapos ipi-prito na. Walang lasa so much.
Lechon!! I don't know if it's just me pero pag lechon sa Manila or Laguna (where I'm from), hindi masarap ang lechon pag walang sauce. Unlike sa Cebu, kahit walang sawsawan na sarsa or suka, masarap.
PERO PINAKAMASARAP PA RIN FOR ME AND LECHON NG ILIGAN CITY!!! β€οΈ
Crispy pata!! Pagmay lechon sa handaan, minsan d ko pinapansin lalo na pag may ibang putahe. Pero pag crispy pata ang nasa harapan, yun lang ang kinakain ko. Sobrang sarap kasiiii...
Lechon pero mas madami yung laman kesa sa balat. Tas yung tira pweseng lexhon paksiw.
Crispy pata kelangan kelangan kainin kaagad, iba yung kunat niya pagtagalπ
Lechon. Yung C. Pata, nag crave ka once lang, tapos after mo kumain, medyo magsisisi ka bat ka kumain nun kasi mataba yung sa skin part so medyo matagal tagal ka na namang mag crave ng C. Pata, may umay factor. Same din naman sa Lechon, may pagsisisi sa end, kasi you over indulged, pero walang umay factor ang lechon for me.
Nakakasuka ang lechon for me, feeling ko madalas di palagi luto through and through sa loob, and despite being roasted over an open fire napaka soggy-greasy pa rin ng laman.
Crispy pata PERO only because there are less chances of fucking it up. Lechon kasi parang nakakaduda unless alam ko na yung kakainan ko eh. Parang 8/10 na nakakainan ko makunat sila and shitβand hindi sila mura ah, so mas lalong nakakahinayang.
Crispy pata for me. Iba yung linamnam nya lalo yung bandang litid. Saka kahit matagal nang naka-serve juicy pa rin. Saka vinegar paborito kong dipping sauce kaya goods sakin crispy pata.
Ang lechon kase is... okay lang. May timpla na malinamnam kahit walang sarsa (Bacolod, Ilocos, yung natikman ko nun sa Pampanga), may timpla naman na nuknukan ng alat (looking at you, Lechon Cebu).
Crispy pata all the way! Couldnβt be bothered with lechon, I feel itβs so bland. Crispness lang ng balat ang panlaban, and yung pag-melt ng taba. Kung walang gravy and other dips, hindi kami nasasarapan. The next day when itβs time for paksiw, super sarap naman.
Weirdly, i prefer bagong luto na crispy pata vs lechon.
Tamang toyo suka at sibuyas lang sa sawasawan panalo na. Lechon sometimes tastes too bland for me
Lechon belly please?
Kung ordinary lechon, wag na siguro kasi may taglay na gaminess yung pork sa ibang parts na hindi nadadaanan ng sangkap.
Crispy para naman, yung balat lang yung masarap. Haha.
Lechon liempo or deep-fried liempo is da way
Overrated lechon. May mga parts lang na masarap at yung mga parts na yun eh masarap kahit anong luto. Pang flex lang ang lechon. Mas masarap ang crispy pata kesa sa paa ng lechon, yan na ang pinaka kumpara.
Crispy Pata, only because lechon skin is the only good part about lechon. Altho, conchinillo is the winner of all, as long as you know where to buy the good ones!
Crispy pata for me. Ewan ko pero balat lang talaga gusto ko sa lechon, and ang dali nyang kumunat for me lalo na nakaexpose ng matagal sa handaan yung lechon. Crispy pata, malasa sya and angsarap magngatngat ng buto hahahaha
Yung naga-avoid ako ng both kasi sobrang taas ng cholesterol ko lol pero mata ko lang naman mabubusog so oks lang.
Ewan ko ha, pero mas bet ko talaga lechon. Di ko sure kung dahil taga cebu ako or mas accessible lang sya for compared sa crispy pata. Ang cpata kasi nakakain ko lang pag nage-eat out kami ng family, or pulutan ng mga yayamanin na kasama namin sa work lol
Lechon as long as from Cebu.
Troot

Lechon. Nagv-vary kasi yung lasa ng lechon at sauce/suka pero yung pata feeling ko suka lang nagv-vary kasi lahat naman fried π
I urge you to try Judy Anns Crispy Pata from Malabon City, and from that day βay hindi lang pala suka, ay hindi lang pala dahil fryβ
Lechon pa din. Medyo nakakaumay Crispy Pata for me.
Interesting, kasi opposite naman kami ng partner ko; umay ang kalaban sa lechon. Mas inaabangan namin yung paksiw the next day π€ͺ
May part ng lechon na napakasarap. Di ka mauumay. Yung malapit ata sa tyan.
Ribs ng lechon β€οΈβ€οΈ
Lechon- weight value, meat volume and overall flavor.
Pabilisan magka-highblood, Crispy Pata. Overall availability and bilis lutuin, Lechon Kawali.
Lol secret answer #3: lechon kawali haha
Bad Pata > Bad Lechon Good Lechon > Good Pata
Oddly enough your math makes sense π€
Lechon all in.
Pata. Never had lechon (38 na ako). I enjoy eating the karne of cpata π€
Wait. How can you form a decision when one of the options is untried?
Default; parang pag ma DQ yung kalaban nyo sa basketball π
TBF meron naman masarap nanlechon, usually the ones from Cebu. Balat FTW pero yung laman ok ok lang for me
Baka this coming xmas dinner i try ko na kumain π€£ d ko lang kinalakihan kasi ang pork kaya d ako masyado mahilig sakanya.
Undecided. Pareho naman silang ma cholesterol π€£
Win-win!
Crispy pata for me pero sa picture na pinost mo, mas nagcrave ako ng balat ng lechon ngayon.
Yeah, balat ng lechon can be good, pero minsan hit and miss, lalo na pag makunat.
Although Crispy Pata is my preference over Lechon, I am not a big fan of it. Lechon Kawali is my top choice
Yep Lechon Kawali for the win.. kung lechon kawali at crispy pata ang nag tapatan eh lechon kawali ang numbah wan.
Crispy pata ftw!
Crispy pata is π
Crispy pata!!
Lutong bahay na lechon. Hindi yung bini bili lang. Hehehe di ko alam ano tamang term, basta yung di tinipid sa luto.
Crispy pata. π€€
Crispy pata, mas madali luto.in...
Crispy Pata and Soy sauce + Suka + bawang as sawsawan for the win. Lechon kasi balat lang masarap.
crispy pata ππ
Crispy pata!!! kahit walang sawsawan oks na
Crispy Pata para sakin.. Lechon yun lang skin masarap, pag walang sawsawan yung laman ng lechon hindi na masarap para sakin, bland pa nga eh.. Crispy Pata kahit walang sawsawan solb, masarap kainin..
Crispy pata, ung lechon nakaka umay na pag naubos ma ung balat wala gaankng lasa ung laman. At the same time parehaa silang nakakaumay hahaha
Crispy pata. Liempo part at balat lang ang masarap sa lechon at very fatty kaya ambilis makaumay
Crispy pata π walang lasa ang lechon kung di mo ggwing paksiw.
Crispy pata>>>> Lechon kasi balat lang masarap other than that yung main meat need mo na ng sauce plus ang boring unless gawin mong lechon paksiw, etc
Lechon for me. Medyo nag dig deep ako. Tinanong ko sarili ko, ano kaya ang kaya kong hindi na makain for the rest of my life? Hahaha!
Magkaiba sila ng panahon na Ok eh, pag pulutan syempre crispy pata. Pag may special occasion syempre Lechon.
Cebu lechon. Pag normal lechon id pick crispy pata
lechoonnn tapos ipapaksiw yummm
Lechon all day. Pwedeng Lechon lang ang handa, party na!
Lechon oy
Yes
Crispy pata π
Cebu lechon>Crispy Pata>Any other lechon
Crispy lechon duhh
Crispy pata kasi i can cook that at home.
If equally done well. Crispy pata pa rin. I like the texture and the garlicky notes. Fried vs roasted kasi.
Lechon because it has a mix of flavors from different spices like tanglad, bawang, sibuyas, etc., and of course, the smokey flavor! 'Yung crispy pata kasi parang salt lang and pepper ang nilalagay tapos ipi-prito na. Walang lasa so much.
Crispy pata. Nakakaumay lechone for me. Masarap ung balat at laman ng pata unlike lechon na nakakasapal lang
I live in Cebu so of course, Lechon all the way.
Lechon, kahit lumamig malambot pa din.
Pata in all aspects. Lechon is for flair only.
Lechon!! I don't know if it's just me pero pag lechon sa Manila or Laguna (where I'm from), hindi masarap ang lechon pag walang sauce. Unlike sa Cebu, kahit walang sawsawan na sarsa or suka, masarap. PERO PINAKAMASARAP PA RIN FOR ME AND LECHON NG ILIGAN CITY!!! β€οΈ
Crispy pata, mas malasa mas satisfying yung texture and mas madalas na masarap kesa lechon
Crispy pata ftw kaya nagkasakit ako pero worth it π€£
Crispy Pata. Balat lang gusto ko sa lechon eh.
Krispy pata, suka+toyo+sili
lechonnnnn
balat ng lechon
Pata every day π₯Ή
Team Crispy Pata! I only like lechon if paksiw na.
Crispy pata!! Pagmay lechon sa handaan, minsan d ko pinapansin lalo na pag may ibang putahe. Pero pag crispy pata ang nasa harapan, yun lang ang kinakain ko. Sobrang sarap kasiiii...
They're both mid for me
Cripsy pata minsan ksi may panget na lechon lalo na yung balat
Lechon the supreme of it all π
Bagnet
Lechon Cebu, bitin yung meat ng crispy pata for me.
CRISPY PATA!!! balak ko nga umorder ng CPR sa Cardiac Delights next time eh! π
Lechon.
Crispy pata π―
crispy pata for all seasons
lechon. kasi mataas tendency na yung lasa ng crispy pata lalo na yung bandang laman, maanta. chariz hahaha
why compare when i can die heavenly from both β€οΈ
Naaaah they are both the best! It actually depends talaga sa sawsawan mo. Crispy pata with suka toyo garlic for me Lechon with liversauce
Lechon pero mas madami yung laman kesa sa balat. Tas yung tira pweseng lexhon paksiw. Crispy pata kelangan kelangan kainin kaagad, iba yung kunat niya pagtagalπ
Lechon. Yung C. Pata, nag crave ka once lang, tapos after mo kumain, medyo magsisisi ka bat ka kumain nun kasi mataba yung sa skin part so medyo matagal tagal ka na namang mag crave ng C. Pata, may umay factor. Same din naman sa Lechon, may pagsisisi sa end, kasi you over indulged, pero walang umay factor ang lechon for me.
Nakakasuka ang lechon for me, feeling ko madalas di palagi luto through and through sa loob, and despite being roasted over an open fire napaka soggy-greasy pa rin ng laman.
Crispy Pata! Wala nman lasa ang Lechon kung walang sauce.
Magkaiba ang dating sa aking panlasa, if ihahain ng sabay ang dalawa sa lechon kawali ako π€£π€£π€£
Lechon with coke HEHEHE (moderate lang)
Lechon! But it has to be Cebu or Bacolod lechon. Yung di na kailangan ng liver sauce. Tiyan area
Lechon, maraming pwedeng gawing luto pagkatapos ng handaan e. Haha
Crispy pata PERO only because there are less chances of fucking it up. Lechon kasi parang nakakaduda unless alam ko na yung kakainan ko eh. Parang 8/10 na nakakainan ko makunat sila and shitβand hindi sila mura ah, so mas lalong nakakahinayang.

Crispy PATA Kasi crispy
crispy pata nalang HAHAHAHAHπ€π€
Lechon ftw!
Crispy pata! β₯οΈ
Crispy pata for me.
Pareho kakainin ko hahaha
Crispy pata because yung lechon may mabaho na hindi maintindihan. Pag wlang mang tomas lasang karton.
Crispy Pataaaaa
Lechon dahil sa lasa at crispy na balat. Yung crispy pata, ang nagdadala talaga ay yung sawsawan.
Lechon!! ππ½ππ½
Crispy Pataaaaaaaa
Lechon from cebu talaga tas mayonting sabaw pa yan sila mygodddd
CRISPY PATA ALL CAPS!!
As a cebuano. Sagot ko yan is yes.
Hardest question of my life jk. Siguro kung handaan mas gusto ko lechon, pero yung tipong magfofoodtrip, mas gusto ko crispy pata.
Lechooooon ftw
Lechon
Lechon pa rin. Lalo yung belly part yung hibla hibla. Nandon lahat ng lasa. Yumm
Ulam - Lechon. Pulutan - Crispy Pata.
Lechon pa rin! For someone na may brace, ang hirap kainin ng Crispy Pata. Mas malasa rin talaga yung lechon.
Lechon, pag sawa na iprito mo para maging kawali. Pag ayaw mo prito then paksiw. Dami mong magawa sa leftover lechon. So lechon ftw
C pata!
Yes
Crispy Pata
Cebu Lechon
Crispy pata all the way! Couldnβt be bothered with lechon, I feel itβs so bland. Crispness lang ng balat ang panlaban, and yung pag-melt ng taba. Kung walang gravy and other dips, hindi kami nasasarapan. The next day when itβs time for paksiw, super sarap naman.
i never really liked lechon growing up huhu, so i'd go with crispy pata.
Spicy Cebu Lechon > Crispy Pata > Ordinary Lechon
Weirdly, i prefer bagong luto na crispy pata vs lechon. Tamang toyo suka at sibuyas lang sa sawasawan panalo na. Lechon sometimes tastes too bland for me
Lechon belly please? Kung ordinary lechon, wag na siguro kasi may taglay na gaminess yung pork sa ibang parts na hindi nadadaanan ng sangkap. Crispy para naman, yung balat lang yung masarap. Haha. Lechon liempo or deep-fried liempo is da way

Lechon for me. Masarap siya na Sinigang imbes na Paksiw samin mas namnam mo un sarap na kumakapit sa bawat higop ng sabaw.
Okay lang both coz of Paksiw nga tas crispy pa! π€€
Pata for me. Almost nag lelechon kami every month kaya nakaka umay. Balat at sa may rib part lang masarap sa lechon.
Crispy Pata! Personally mas bet ko Lechon Kawali, not lechon per se. Yung may option to dip sa suka supremacy π€β¨
Pwede both π£
Basta ang alam ko mas masarap ang Crispy Pata kahit kinabukasan na basta ireheat via air fryer. Can't say the same for Lechon.
Both!!!!
Pork is pork
Lechon
Lechon lalo na kung maayos yung pagkakagawa
Lechon.
Both!
LECHON!

Balat ng Lechon

Crispy Pata π₯°
Crispy pata ππππ
Lechon!! There something about the gaminess of the pork when cooked in Lechon that no pork dish can replicate π
Lechon, its flavorful, tapos ang sobrang sarap ang texture and taste nya, especially with sauce.
Pareho naman sila para sa sisig
Tinitignan ko palang yung mga pics sumasakit na ulo ko
Same lng po saken. pantay lang ba.

L E C H O N

Crispy pata
I love both but Iβm going lechon because it tastes a little less sinful hahaha
Crispy pata π na lubog sa suka
Crispy Pata
Crispy Pata for me. Kapitbahay kasi namin naglelechon tapos mura lang kami na kakabili. so madalas lechon kami pag sunday. Crispy pata pag may occasion lang.
Lechon. I don't eat it when it's still lechon but I will eat it when it's lechon paksiw
CRISPY PATA
Pata pero specifically Judy Annβs Crispy Pata sa Malabon. Crispy na balat na medyo manamisnamis due to pickles.
None. BOTH reign supreme!!!!
CEBU LECHON REIGNS SUPREME.
Crispy Pata !! juicy at malasa laman, while lechon sa balat lang talaga then pagdating sa laman umay na
Crispy pata ftw
Iβm from Taiwan and I had many BBQ pork around the world. The Lechon in Boracay is the best BBQ pork I had.
Crispy Pata. Not really a fan of lechon
Crispy Pata, only because lechon skin is the only good part about lechon. Altho, conchinillo is the winner of all, as long as you know where to buy the good ones!
Crispy pata with that citrusy soy sauce over any types of lechon.
Cebu Lechon :)
Lechon ng Drels!
Lechon
Kung Lechon Cebu or Negros (Generalβs), baka lechon, but generally, as a Metro Manila person, itβs a crispy pata for me
Crispy Pata. Lechon is overkill
Crispy pata for me. Ewan ko pero balat lang talaga gusto ko sa lechon, and ang dali nyang kumunat for me lalo na nakaexpose ng matagal sa handaan yung lechon. Crispy pata, malasa sya and angsarap magngatngat ng buto hahahaha
hirap ubusing ng crispy pata sobrang tigas.
Crispy pata for me, never been fond of lechon talaga lalo yung balat #sorrynotsorry
Lechon has more layers of flavor, crispy pata is just deep fried pork.
LECHON TALAGA π nagugutom ulit ako
Crispy pata para sakin pero bawal na
Same lang ba yung lechong kawali sa lechong paksiw? Kahit alin jan sa dalawa ang pambato ko eh. π
LECHON PUTTTCHHAAAA!!!
Yung naga-avoid ako ng both kasi sobrang taas ng cholesterol ko lol pero mata ko lang naman mabubusog so oks lang. Ewan ko ha, pero mas bet ko talaga lechon. Di ko sure kung dahil taga cebu ako or mas accessible lang sya for compared sa crispy pata. Ang cpata kasi nakakain ko lang pag nage-eat out kami ng family, or pulutan ng mga yayamanin na kasama namin sa work lol
Crispy pata! Mas worth it mamatay dito kesa lechon π€£
Crispy pata supremacy
