A Festivity Without Lechon is No Festivity

 

Festivities are special events, usually and ordinarily staged by a local community, which centers on some unique aspect of that community. And here in the Philippines, some of the most grandest and colorful festivities can be found. Festivities such as the Ati-Atihan festival, Kadayawan festival, the Dinagyang festival, Moriones festival, Sinulog festival, Parada ng Lechon, are some of the grandest festivities in the Philippines.

Festivities all over the Philippines, even the small ones, are very much alike. Almost all festivities here in the Philippines are celebrated to honor their patrons, and most of these festivals are held to honor the Santo Niño.

But apart from its religious purpose, all kinds of festivities here in the Philippines also has other things in common, the drinking and the eating part. Only in festivities that you can enjoy a wide variety of dishes you have ever seen. And when it comes to this, the Philippine Lechon is commonly present.

The Philippine Lechon is often cooked during national festivities, the holiday season, and other special occasions such as weddings, graduations, birthdays and baptisms, or family get-togethers.

The Philippine Lechon is usually the highlight and the most popular dish of these events. It is usually served with a liver-based sauce. However, in some cases, it may be served Chinese style with steamed buns and a sweet plum sauce.

A typical Filipino method of roasting involves placing the pig on a spit and baking it on charcoals while wiping the skin with a brush made out of leaves drenched in water and the pig's own fat. This makes the skin "pop" and eventually crunchy.

But other than roasting it yourself, you could also buy it from a Lechon shop.
