- Not A Normal Restaurant Experience 🇵🇭 Philippines
Here in Cebu City, Philippines, you have to try lechon! Even though you come to this restaurant for lechon, I found a different Filipino food that was my favorite, not lechon. The Philippines has various foods throughout the country, but here I eat my favorite Filipino food. Another aspect of this Filipino restaurant that stood out from the rest was the friendliness and hospitality shown to me by the staff here! Thank you for watching!

My wife is Filipina from Mindanao. We’ve been married for 30 years and live in CT. My son is also Filipino and his wife. They told me the best Lechon is in Talisay, Cebu.
Filipino hospitality is extremely wholesome ❤Enjoy Brother Jonathan 😊
I completely agree! Thank you for watching!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Hey Bro 😎 Happy New Year 🎆 I presume you’re still in the USA 🇺🇸 I’ll be going back to the Philippines 🇵🇭 soon. Stay safe
The way everyone happily took the pig back just so you could record it being brought in was amazing lol. What a nice and hospitable group. That lechon looks delicious.
Hi Jonathan, I think from watching your videos that the hospitality and friendliness of the people always takes first place when in the Philippines. It is great advertising to the local restaurants in which you eat.
Lechon is a must in Cebu! 3:58 They also serve classic Bibingka & Puto Bumbong. 8:25 Kinilaw and Baked Scallops NICE! 😋👍
Oh my gosh the customer service is amazing!! They were just super happy to serve you. I have never received that type of customer service in Canada ahahahh
It is a hard competition for Lechon in Cebu.. But most people you ask will say either House of Lechon or Ricos Lechon.. In terms of the big places..
I prefer this one, "House of Lechon" because they also have a good selection of other authentic filipino dishes in a good quality.
OMG bring on the food. I’ve heard so many good things about that place. Definitely on the food bucket list.
That's the place to go in Cebu City!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL In which place were you? There are, like, four places of the House of Lechon, in Cebu.
Really? I didn't know that. This was near Ayala Mall in the Business district @@i-am-your-conscience
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL there is even one from them on Bohol now, in Tagbilaran, if I remember correctly ;)
"Cebu Lechon" is the Best in the World. According to Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmerman who visited Cebu, Philippines 🇵🇭. Both of them are Chef Cook, Author, Americans and have a Food Network Channel in the U.S.A. You can eat Lechon with your hand or fork, spoon, chopsticks, whichever you prefer, we Filipinos eat it with our hands..😂 I always subscribe to your Channel Jonathan, always: God Bless, "Amping" meaning in Bisaya dialect Take Care!...
The best in the Philippines. Not in the world..
#Overproud
I love how they informed you the way to eat the kinilaw with the rice cracker. I would definitely have the vinegar, soy sauce and calamansi sauce for the lechon., though I would try the spicy sauce. When you were dipping the lechon in the vinegar, soy sauce and calamansi sauce, I swear I smelled the lechon for a second 😂. I would definitely visit this place. Thanks for the video on this!
Wow Jonathan, I am now starving. Love watching your videos. My wife is from Cebu. Been married to my Filipino now for eight years and I love Filipino food here in LA California.
hahah sorry for making you hungry! I made myself hungry editing this one. Oh yeah, I bet there are a lot of Filipino restaurants on the west coast since it's "closer" to the Philippines. Thank you for watching the videos!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL I do have one question some of the episodes you have this girl name Ann do you know her age? My wife and I have a bet
Man, avoid saying "my Filipino". Filipinos having been colonised and treated like lower class citizens or even slaves by the Spanish and then the Americans, it gives off a degrading tone like owning someone as an object (or a slave). Say "my Filipino wife" instead. Just a friendly tip 😊
lechon can be eaten either by using your hand (fingers) or with a fork
@@Yjn75i guess even american have some typo errors sometimes 🙂
I can say that you are a vlogger who truly embrace our culture because you spend most of your time in the province where life is not so very convenient compared to the city life. You come to experience Filipinos resilience.
Great video again. The food videos and just hanging out with the locals are always some of my favorites.
Thanks Jason! Plenty more of those types of videos to come!
Keep doing videos my man you're energy and cheerful disposition in life is what brings out the best in everyone you meet. So much fun watching your vids ❤
Thank you for saying that! All of their energy in this video definitely brought out my positive mood here too! They were a super fun staff at this restaurant!
I love that place!!! So dang good. Can't wait to go back! Great video...
it's sooo good!
I'll be back in February to video some knife makers and visit my Filipino family. Hit me up then and we'll do a collaboration vid. Perhaps an old fashioned Lechon roast in the heart of Bamboo village. If you're in town. @@travelescapesOFFICIAL
Makes me want to fly to Cebu and just eat!
😂
Hi Jonathan ! Wow I can’t believe you’re there close to where i leave. At downtown Cebu City ! If you get a chance, come visit the “Temple of Leah “ , and theres a restaurant there called “ Cebu Tops “ which is overlooking the mountain view . Also check out the Sirao Garden . Have fun exploring the city of Cebu ! 😁🇵🇭❤️
oohh that's the viewpoint place!? I wanted to go there but didn't get a chance! I already left but will have to do it next time! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@travelescapesOFFICIALyes i think so . Lol
Ya visit it next time when you come back. Ayu-ayu ! ❤😁
Wow my favorite lechon ..So yummy cebu is the best lechon u ever had ❤🎉😊
It definitely is the best spot for Lechon!
Hi Jonathan, there's a House of Lechon here in Tagbilaran, Bohol also. The food is very good also especially the kinilaw & baked scallops. We celebrated our mother's 2nd death anniversary by having our lunch there last October 28. Ayo-ayo, amazing ❤️
Great video ! they were so nice to you and a great restaurant !
Thank you!! They really were!!
Your channel is a stress reliever. My wife and I enjoy watching your interactions with the locals. You seem like you're really having a good time.

You vlogging businesses will definitely help boost a certain establishement helping them in so many ways.So nice ok f them to give you complimentary food. ❤❤❤❤
You just got a new subscriber. Subscribed not only because you do Philippines based content, but because I can tell that you genuinely love and enjoy everything you do here. On behalf of filipinos, we watching your videos is our own way of saying "I know right" to every foreigner saying "this is so good".
Also, did you just say you love food with coconut milk and that you love spicy? Sir, may I borrow a moment of your time to introduce the Express that is made out of Bicol
Awww. They did a Lil reality TV in the beginning. They so nice. Thanks for the vid sir
I actually Ike seeing you eating and getting the instant reaction.
😂 I wasn’t expecting all of that from the staff there! Haha thank you for watching!
Always waiting you to upload! Please upload daily!😁
ooohh that would be difficult 😂.. I'm a slow editor and always overanalyze my videos, rewatching them multiple times making changes before uploading. I'd like to post 2 or 3 times a week though! I appreciate you following along and watching!
Hi Jonathan have a great time.. ❤
Enjoy!
thank you!!

you definitely should! Try that kinilaw with the coconut milk! It's served over ice, so it's nice and cold!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL I try it and let you know if i like it !
I went to this same restaurant a few months ago lol. Probably the best food I had during my visit in cebu
I agree! Great restaurant!
Hello sir have a great time
I have eaten here multiple times. This is near to my office before pandemic. It's not just lechon that's delicious here.
I really enjoy you vids sir.
thank you so much! I appreciate you watching them!!
Now, you make me hungry 😋😋😋
Very good service indeed
Your eyes, ang ganda po😊
Hey jonathan! New sub here! That was an awesome crunch!
Me and my wife are there a few years ago! Love the LETCHON BABOY!!! Have fun!!!
Yeahhh it’s so good! I’m haven for watching!
Thank you Jonathan. I want to try that restaurant wen I go back to Cebu!
I always enjoy watching your adventures, especially with food "discoveries" hehe. I just noticed that your shirt matches your eyes. and it's already 139k subs... just happy for you, man.
Thank you!! My eyes change colors to match my shirts actually. If my shirt is blue, grey, or green, my eyes will appear that color. Thank you for watching and supporting!
You picked the correct Kinilaw. Always go for the Tanigue. Tanigue is Spanish Mackerel.
Another incredible video ….. I’m sure we all can say, “We are hungry for Lechon”. The food looks better than any US Restaurant that I’ve been to. Every time you mention “Kinilaw” it makes me want to try it more and more. Thank you again for such a wonderful video.
I just retired and I’m planning a trip to the Philippines and I will look for your videos for more information. Thank you for sharing your trips bro 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My favorite travel vlogger TravelEscapes,Go with Ali and Max Daily I really enjoy watching like I’m with them lol
Watching you eating lechon you made my mouth water. Lol! Nakaka gutom tuloy. Ha ha ha ha!
Watching from Maryland USA
New subscriber here ❤ Proud Filipina here and you amazed me. Keep it up you are amazing.

They really were!
Yummy Lechon. ❤❤❤
Going home to spend Xmas after spending my last Christmas there in 2009 …… Melbourne 🇦🇺 Thank you for making us more homesick 😢😊
That lemon grass tea drink is the best. I always make it at home cos it's my family's favourite drink. Kinilaw with gata (coconut milk) is super delish 😋 and paired with lechon, wow ! What a meal 😋🤩 keep safe Jonathan and God bless you always 🙏 🤗🍀🙌❤️
I have to start making that iced lemongrass tea at home also! It might be a life changer 😂 and yes! I was very happy with my food choices here! Thank you for watching!
Enjoy!❤❤❤
Explore more places here in the philippines
Wow so yummy😅😊

I'm going yo Rico's someday.Been dreaming of trying their food.Awesome staff and gorgeous place.

Mouth watering 🤤
Lechon eat as u enjoy as u like ! We just have lechon too last night . So crispy too.
The service is next level 💯
Tanigue is best for kinilaw
Kinilaw is made of boneless fish ,onion ,ginger ,vinegar ,chilli , calamansi ..salt & pepper to taste
I was just there and did your same meal. It was delicious. Lami kayo!
Thanks for the explanation of how to eat it
Oh really?! I’m glad you liked it! I could eat that kinilaw every day!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL It was awesome. BTW sent you a message on messenger
Wow. They even gave you a big piece of crispy skin before you ordered 🥹. So nice, the staffs.
What a Lucky day for you Jonathan.. you've got some free food from the restaurant 🤗😅 hehe
😋 😋 😋 😋 Im hungry
Thank you for this video !!!! this place is in my next bucket list !!!! Damn you’re making me hungry !!! Sitting in my car in this winter wonderland Connecticut watching your vlog eating it makes me more starving !!! 😛
it's funny how the guy chopping the lechon just gave him a free taste, HAAHAHAHHA I guess you can't even do that in some restaurant. it's just wholesome, and a little funny. AHHAHAH
Can't wait to go to Cebu and try that, I'm a huge scallops fan and those look delicious! Also, when I was in Baguio I found a very nice little Cafe that had the best hot lemon grass tea....I miss the philippines so much!
Edit....I think your waiter likes you!....lol
I actually couldn’t even taste the scallops though 😂 the cheese flavor was the most prominent flavor in those. All of the food was very good though!
What a mouth watering video,makes me want to visit Cebu as I've never been to the Visayas region, Baguio City boy here.
Wow so delicious letchon
It was!
I miss the letchon in cebu They have the best letchon enjoy J
Makes me visit Cebu in no time.
House of Lechon! I like that.❤
Hi I'm a filipina watching from Kuwait
Thank you for watching from Kuwait!
That kinilaw fish is king mackerel 😊 and it’s making me hungry 😂😂😂😂😂
Cebuano kinilaw the best kinilaw preparation. We marinade it with vinegar then squeeze the vinegar out after about 30mins and then replace it with thick coconut milk then all the regular spices. When you mix in slices grilled pork, you now you make it sinuglaw, its a coined word from 2 words sinugba(grilled pork) and kinilaw.
Now missing all those food, especially the fresh seafood there.
Hope you had a great time in Cebu!
I did!
You bad!!! You just made me very hungry, Bud!!! 😂😂😂
😂 imagine about how hungry I got editing this video hahah
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL you make good, interesting videos … miss the foods you feature, except kinilaw …. I don’t eat raw food
I love house of lechon. ❤ Food is good and the staff. ❤
