What will the New Year be without lechon? This Philippine delicacy has been revisited and reinvented but nothing beats the lechon from good ol' La Loma. Just looking at the picture below brings back childhood memories of drives to this place every year, where me and my cousins will pick out the fattest and shiniest looking pig. Of course, we seldom order the whole thing, imagine the fat and calories each succulent pig has! But, oh dear, it's all worth it.
As with all sinfully good food, the best part is definitely the skin. This should be the part that you eat first, while it's hot and crispy, or else, you'll lose that crunchiness. Next, move on to that piece of meat with fat layered on top of it. Just a bite will send you off to lovely, piggy heaven...well, not too soon, I hope =). Happy New Year, everyone!
