Two things are associated with the district of La Loma in the city of Manila. One is the Chinese Cemetery and the other is lechon. La Loma is lechon country.
You think this guy is just ogling, choosing which lechon to buy or contemplating eating them all?

I think he is just ogling. They do make an atrractive picture and always look just sooo delicious. The only problem when I try to eat them is the fat….it just oozes out and doesn’t agree with my stomach.

Try sodium bicarbonate right after a lechon meal.

They can make my cholesterol levels in my arteries bubble in delight.

The Chinese Cemetery is simply amazing. I’ve visited there twice and attended a Chinese Funeral there once. It lasted for hours and had such pomp and ceremony like none I’ve ever seen. It was very interesting.

My brother (deceased) used to have a lechon business in Cebu. The flavors are just more aromatic than any other lechon I have tasted. Nothing beats Cebu Lechon. I swear or maybe because I just got used to the taste.
Sassy 07.06.06 at 10:20 pm
LOL Ludwig. You can indulge once in a while, can’t you?
Oh, yes, George, the Chinese rituals are really something else. They even have professional mourners.

Noemi, I grew up with lechon tagalog but I like lechon Cebu better.

I’m an American and I’ve done plenty of traveling around the Philipppines, but have always resisted lechon, until a few years ago when I attended the Obando church festival in Bulucan province, and the lechon stands were just opposite and I couldn’t resist. I apologize to my heart but it was a great indulgence I’ll never forget, though I wouldn’t really recommend this diet on a steady diet, if you know what I mean. Still, lechon is something to enjoy a few times a year, but do hold it down to a minimum.

I didn’t say I don’t eat lechon.
Gail 07.08.06 at 1:11 am
How much does lechon cost in La Loma, would you know? Been planning to get for my wedding
Medyo malayo kasi La Loma from where I live, at least dapat worth it naman kahit papano pagpunta diba?

I think he is ogling at it thinking … “Man, this is yummy!”
(:
Sassy 07.08.06 at 12:52 pm
You are right, Carl. Everything in moderation. But congratulations for not resisting any longer. Great experience, eh?
Good for you, Ludwig!
Gail, best wishes! My very best wishes. But I don’t know the current La Loma prices. We buy lechon from Elar’s for the consistent quality. Contact info here.
Kyels, that was what I thought too as we passed all those lechon stands.

laloma is also known as the lechon capital of the phils. parada ng lechon is being held once a year on the 3rd sunday of may.

Do you know the history of Parada ng Lechon?
How about the La Loma Cockpit?
monchie ferreros 09.26.07 at 11:48 am
Parada ng Lechon in Laloma started on may 1990. Its an idea to showcase their identity. we are maglilitson so to speak. Selling lechon in laloma started in the early 1950 by mang Tomas de los Reyes,he came up with the idea because he reside exactly in front of the laloma cockpit (w/c started operation since 1902) and 3 years after that the brothers fernando and jose ferreros started their own and followed by our other neigbors and the rest is history, now we are known as the Lechon Capital of the Philippines.

Lechon Cebu is really great. I love the taste of lechon cebu. The crunchy skin and the meat was so tender which absorbs the aromatic taste of various fragrant herbs and spices. The best lechoncebu ever. Visit lechoncebu.com.
grace 04.02.08 at 4:55 pm
Masarap dn ang laloma sa Manila. I’ve tasted it na when i visit may cousin there. I tried Lechon Cebu too. Both ay masarap.
grace 04.05.08 at 11:22 am

For me lechon cebu is the best. The tasty meat and crunchy skin. Wow its yummmy. Tasty talaga sya kahit wala ng sauce. Napaka tender and juicy pa ng meat. Its very delicious. Lechon cebu taste good talaga.
jay 08.09.08 at 11:29 am
Masarap talaga ang lechon cebu. Nothing can compare the taste of lechon cebu. Ibang iba talaga ang lasa nya. Masarap at ma crispy ang balat. Ohhh i miss lechon cebu.
kyle 09.29.08 at 2:28 pm
It was amazing. It is one of Cebu’s trademarks. The taste is really different from other Lechon in other places. It has an after taste which will make you want more! It’s lechon itself. No add-ons!
lechoncebu.com your the best!
