Sinulog was my chance to finally try the most talked about lechon in Cebu - Zubuchon.
I have a VERY BIG, not-so-secret crush on Anthony Bourdain, and I, like any (stupid/naive/brainless) woman in love, believe every single word he says.
And those three little words - Best Pig… EVER - plus the exclamation point, touched the very bottom of my heart.
I believe Zubuchon was the busiest restaurant during the Sinulog season. I heard sales from
January 1-20 for this branch only hit eight million pesoses. This just shows you how many women
(and men) are in love with My Anthony. :P
The regular menu is simple and easy. If you're a big group like us, you can order everything.
For the Sinulog, they added and took out a few items.
I was devastated the Sizzling Squid stuffed with Sisig was nowhere in sight. :(
The Zubuchon
For me, it's all about the skin.
Chicharon
Slow Cooked Adobo - this plate was all fat. Except for one piece, everything else was left untouched.
Zubuchon Dinuguan - pure Zubuchon meat, no innards!
Bbb…but… I wanted innards!!!
Adobong Kangkong with Chicharon - yummy!
Talong Salad
Tomato, Salted Duck Egg and Bangus Tinapa
Crab Relleno - more than the lechon, this was my favorite!
It was exactly what the menu promised - pure crabmeat, no extenders!
Oreo and Classic Silvanas
Kamias Shake
Lechoned out!
Dearest Anthony Bourdain,
Zubuchon is not the best pig ever.
I am.
Marry me?
