The fact that the chef in Spain is a Filipino, you know who’s the real winner😊
Man shut up Spain won and not Philippines
Spain ??
@@Legosabotaje yap spain
That is not. Let us just be realistic ..Filipino are way much cheaper compare to those locals...plus this guy do not have a lot of choices.
You didn't drive us out, the Americans drove us out.
Sonny, it’s not the same to compare Cochinillo to an adult pig lechon. You should compare that Cochinillo from Spain with Philippines Lechon de Leche (young pig) from Cebu. Now, that’s the equal and fair matchup!
True
Agree...this is unfair
Marvin Agustin is serving a cochinillo/ letchon de leche in his restaurant
I think he's not aware that we also have conchinillo
@@InsiJuice cochinillo in Spain is better than cochinillo here bc they were original, our cochinillo here came from Spain but the one who cook their cochinillo there is a Filipino that came from the Philippines.🤣
One thing I've learned as a chef. It's not the recipe that makes the food taste good or bad. It's the one that cooks it. The timing, the care, the preparation and everything in between.
This is fccckn true
That's why cuisines like Italian or Japanese dominate globally despite being fairly simplistic in their recipes.
its both
I’m from Puerto Rico and I 100% believe our lechon can give them a run for their money. I won’t discredit Spanish nor Filipino cuisine, i love Spanish Paella and Filipino adobo, so good man.
Just watched Strictly Dumpling's Puerto Rico lechon video. Man, it's amazing. I think it's good..
Agreed! Love Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 prayers for you guys 🙏🏼
Ours is the best bruh. sarreh
The lechon in Luzon, Philippines is nothing compared to the Negros Island and Cebu Island, Philippines Lechon.
@TheEditor107 He only said that because he's there doing the show. he's just trying not to be rude. I guess Spain's version is bussin. Same goes with Puerto Rico's. Philippines? Meh.. not appetizing by just the look of it.
Spanish and Filipino dishes are so much alike. You're correct in comparing the cochinillo feet with crispy pata. The other Spanish dish made from internal organs can also be compared to the Filipino dish Gotong Batangas.
People forget, spain has always been the original when it comes to filipino dishes. Balut, pancit or any noodle dishes came from the Chinese.
The REAL filipino food are only rice cakes before the colonization.
@@oneyedthing ONLY rice cakes? are you insulting the intelligence of not only Filipinos but all of human beings? the Philippines is a tropical country with lots of diverse resources from crops, meats, seafoods, fruits and vegs and much more. do you really think they only know rice cakes?
besides, rice cakes MAYBE influenced by other Asian countries. which is already visiting the Philippines thru trade routes. so we are already have other influences even before Spain colonize the Philippines.
@@oneyedthing Yup, that's what colonization does to a country. Until now, there's no real identity of what 'Filipino cuisine' is, unlike Italian/Japanese/Chinese cuisines which have there own identities. That's according to the late Anthony Bourdain.
But I think I have to disagree with 'only rice cakes' :D
Lol the Callos is also a trade mark Filipino dish. Parehong laman loob ng baka pero walang similarity ang lasa sa goto napakalayo😂
@@renzfernandez4523 dude, gotong Batangas sinasabi ko? Alam mo ba yun? Sa lasa syempre magkaiba, pero parehong soup-based dish na lamang loob ang gamit.
Gotong pang lagnat lang ata alam mo, kung maka lol :p
Never had lechon in Spain. Had lechon in the Philippines many times. OMFG it's a must-have food if you ever visit there. No, seriously. Try it. The best lechon in the country is in Cebu City, IMO. Ironic that the Spanish restaurant has a Filipino doing the lechon...
Much love and respect to the Philippines! Much love and respect to Spain!
LOL sonny has been to Cebu and tried Cebu Lechon and tried different lechon in the Philippines.
@@jeremy3882 Yep I've been following his channel since the days when he used to jump out from behind things to start his video. He's also had alligator lechon (in Davao City I think) which I have yet to taste, but someday I will.
The best lechón is in hidalgo mexico
I agree ...Cebu has the best lechon in the Philippines ....no doubt
Viva Espana, mabuhay ang Pilipinas! Food brings all cultures together..
No matter what country it is as long as the food is cooked right and perfect it's the best 🤤
All food lovers out there agrees🙌
i have never heard of spain lechon, but i know philippines is highly known for theirs ! love filipino food
Seriously.
Never had any idea the Philippines had their own version.
Very interesting tbough
@@martymiguel4496 FIlipinos also have their own variety of Paella, Picadillo, Menudo and Tocino.
@@suiken3149 include the chorizos
If you know the history of the Philippines it shouldn't be a surprise
There is no competition really. The original has it's own characteristics and so is the adapted recipe. Of course our Philippine lechon has it's own quirks.
Yah but there's no excuses that cochinillo is far more delicious than regular old pig lechon???im not compering the two but chochinillo is far more tender than lechon???still they are both delicious
Because they are really suckling pigs not like in the Philippines where we roast our lechon medium-sized pig but I feel that Filipino Lechon are tastier, especially the Cebu's way of roasting Lechon because of the herbs and spices put inside it and the flavour from those spices and meat as well will remain in every part of the pig's meat because it is roasted whole to not let lose the flavour inside it!.🤠
Not really. In Philippines they misused the word as the lechón pig is a small suckling pig. Not the 40kg used. Different tastes
answer: BAIRRADA, PORTUGAL.
Philippines also has a version of suckling pig called lechon de leche
It's all good Sonny, I always admire your honest reviews and that's why you are one of the best food critics out there!
no sugar coating, no bs, just plain honest reviews! Looking forward for more Food Wars content.
As Spanish I love Philippine ppl keep up that tradition. Just to point out the difference: in Segovia (best place where chorizos are coming from, Cantimpalos) is roasted the best lechón too. Is so well cooked that can be cut with the dish's edge by the Cook. Have it with the traditional rustic bread, the well known Rioja wine (coming from that region too) and have a nice "ponche segoviano" as pudding. You defo won't regret it and will remember. Then visit the castle or "la granja" (Royal Palace) and you will have the best day ever visiting Segovia 👍
So, that's what La Garaja means :D lol good to know
@@prophetgoogle7071 lmao "la granja" means "the farm" it's just the colloquial name for the royal palace i guess
@@Ambitwine I see..
@@prophetgoogle7071 we all make mistakes 😅
candido !
Sending love from Philippines 🇵🇭 to Spain 🇪🇸

As a Filipino who now lives in Europe & traveled in Spain, I agréé with Sonny. Cochinillo is more flavorful & savory than Philippine lechon. But in terms of other Pinoy foods, my French in-laws said Pinoy beef caldereta is more delicious than boeuf bourguignon. And thé Pinoy paella in Boracay for my French husband, is thé best paella he's ever tasted. (Better than thé paella in Barcelona or Madrid).
Such a f@€%&^ traitor
Cochinillo is what we called lechon de leche in the Philippines. Maybe baby pigs have different taste and texture compared to an adult one.
They look both delicious but I think the best lechon in the worl is in the Philippines because of the best ingredients they have.
To be fair, both Barcelona and madrid are bad places to have paella...
@@Panteni87agree , it's very oily
I already tried all of them since my work requires me to travel most of the time. I'm maybe biased but they tasted the same for me. What makes it special is the sauce and I love the Filipino lechon liver sauce 🤤
There is a Filipino tomato based dish also called Callos - it is very similar to the Madrilena but only tripe is used. It is cooked with chorizo de bilbao, black olives, red/green bellpeppers and chickpeas.
Come back to the Philippines and try the lechon de leche 😋😋😋
lechon de leche is literal a spanish word
No worries Sonny, eventhough you picked the one from Spain, a Filipino masonry oven master cooked it. Win win situation.
What if it's not a Filipino? Is it a win lose situation?
it's not about who cooks, it's about which country's version of lechon is better
I could have been your special guest for this episode! 😂 Really enjoy this video in Madrid, i'm glad you had a great time and proud of my city. Greetings from Spain 👍
Dude...I started watching your channel a few years back ... initially I thought you were a Anthony Bourdain wannabe, but as time progressed, you came into your own Mold... your own essence.... Success has found you.... Congratulations....😊
Haha, he was put on the spot! 😀 Nice comparison of the lechon! We've been wondering ourselves how does our filipino lechon compare to other roasted pig. Well done!
*Goes to Spain to eat Spanish Lechon*
*The chef of the spanish restaurant is still a Filipino*
Yeah but spanish recipe.
a lot of Filipinos work in restaurants in Madrid.
The word lechon is a misnomer used in Filipino cuisine.
P due to colonial lexicon.
The method of roasted pig ( BABOY) in the Philippines was not invented by the Spanish.
Pig is called (Baboy)in tagalog and called BABI in IndoMalay.
The technique of Roast pig (BABOY) in the Philippines is more similar to Indonesia. (BABI) not Spain.
Chinese IndoMalay ancestors have been in the Phillippines more than 600 years prior to Spain.
@@quamaniansun5055 proud colonized
@@quamaniansun5055 and yet you used a spanish name to call the dish
My son [RIP] traveled extensively in Europe for business. In his opinion, Spain had the best food hands down.
Totally agree.
Spanish food is so incredibly varied and to die for.
That down there jail joke, keep in or keep out had me lol!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤
As a Muslim, roast pig is my favorite. We always serve this dish during Ramadan 👍
what?????????
🤣
Muslims don't eat pork brother I don't know what you're smoking
Eiiii, sir dont offend them even if it is a joke. Peace
I've had lechon in Puerto Rico, and the preparation method is similar to the Philippines - the pig is adult, the animal is roasted over a rotisserie and regularly basted with coconut water to crisp up the skin and give it a sweet flavour, and then it's chopped up and the customers can choose which parts they want. It was the best pork I've ever had. The shoulder, snout and ears were my favourite parts.
The cooking method seems much more indigenous than European, so I'm guessing Puerto Ricans were roasting pigs over open flames long before the first Europeans reached the island.
Boricua methos is different and not called Lechon but i like this comment 💪🏾💯🇵🇷
@@jrpapi5 The restaurants that serve it are called lechonerias. There are some great ones in the hills near Cayey.

It is kinda funny that this is Spain vs The Philippines, when the cook of that Spaniard restaurant is Filipino. :)
Filipino is the slave🤣😅
@@glideslopRM and the Filipino is the one who make the business of Spanish grow
😂😂😂agree
Hehehee
Philippines also cook the same kind of lechon aside from the traditional one. They cut the cooked pig here with the edge of a plate to emphasize it's crunchiness and doneness of the lechon...they also called it cochinillo....
Deja vu?
Reupload...
I'll ship you some nature spring bottle with vinegar, chillies and onions young master!😂
HAHAHAHAHHA hayp
HAHAHAHAHHA gagi
Not for nothing, but the best lechón it's cooked in Puerto Rico. You should go there and try it. All the islands in the Caribbean have their own way of cooking pork, but that Puerto Rican lechón, it's exquisite!
I'm so proud of this guy!
The Chef himself is a Filipino cooking in Spain, so it's still a Filipino made lechon. 😅
Its a spanish pic so no
👍👍👍
Sunny you have to go to Puerto Rico. So for what i have seen Philippino lechon and puertorican are really similar. Is the tropical flavor.
The concept of lechon originated in the Philippines long before the Spanish colonizers arrived. Pigs originally came from China and we have been trading with them since the pre-colonial era. Locally, we call the process of roasting meat as "inasal." When the Spaniards conquered the Philippines, they got the idea of the dish and introduced it to other Spanish colonies through barter trade. So yeah, Lechon is originally Filipino with Spanish influence.
If Spain's cochinillo tastes better, it's always good to be honest, and I am not going to be offended or disappointed. That's how it should be for a food review. Love the vid! Liked the vid! Good job, buddy!
no comparison
the one in spain is a young pig
Been 5 years in the Philippines, know this national delicatess. Kumusta ka kababayan? Mabuti?
This is JUST soooo interesting! Had never seen something alike… also, I’ll try Secret Food Tours, they seem good! 😮
Hop over to Portugal and try Leitão à Bairrada. Similar thing, but with a peppery sauce that is otherworldly good IMO. Highly recommended.
I hope sonny goes to other Hispanic countries and compare different versions of food from the same colony . like flans from Mexico and PH and polvorones, and more.
I am either having the biggest deja vu in my life or this video is reuploaded, because I’ve seen this video already, I literally knew what was going to happen before I saw the video.
Cochinillo style lechon did come from Spain, so points to them for that!
Lechon de leche (or baby lechon) has better taste than regular lechon in the PH... more expensive per kilo but taste better.
“Lechon" literally comes from the word "leche" (milk). It's supposed to be a baby pig. So "lechon de leche" just sounds redundant...
No matter how tough the competition is food always is the best peacemaker 😊😊
I look forward to these! Bravo to the crew!
Here is the full video that explain

i'm so confused right now is this a re-upload what's wrong with the other video??
Chinese-Filipino here. You made me really hungry. Now I have another thing to add to my bucket list. Sobrino de Botin, Madrid. Thanks for the video. 👍🏽
Chinese filipino opinion dont count
@@playplayofficial3480 Your opinion is the only one that doesn't count.
@@playplayofficial3480 And who are you to tell anyone that their opinions don't count? 💩 You're just some random payaso troll. 🤡
Title should be Filipino is the Lechon Master! lol
I assume since the piglet is a lot smaller, cooking time would be shorter and shorter cooking time would be optimal for the pig skin. Eating that without some dipping sauce feels not right though.
i know in the philippines that we call the smaller one "lechon de leche" which is a literal translation lol.
Nah it's still cochinillo
@@doeweeyah1236 no it's not, lechon is when is still drinking milk from it's mother, cochinillo is when they stop doing so
one thing I learn is to never watch your channel before sleep. the food makes me so hungry! the pig looks crispy and delicious

Hi Sonny, would love to see you guys try eating at "Spiral Buffet" here in the Philippines,
Mark Wiens even mentioned that its by far the best Buffet restaurant for him.
Spiral lost its glory,
solaire fresh buffet is better as of now
He he
I don't know about the Philippine version but between the Spanish and the Portuguese approach on suckling pig the Portuguese would win it.
I would like to see Sonny trying our food one day.
Love this show! Cheers!
Very hard to choose between them, however, we from Secret Food Tours truly loved working with you and are so glad to do that again asap! Our locals are all over the globe, indeed: See you Soon! =)
Not ruined by the harsh reality of life 😁 Maybe the preparation is different but we do have something similar it's called lechon de leche 😊
I will have to try both until I decide!
Absolutely Spain makes the best Lechon. Hands down
The Chef’s smirk then looked away when he answered that Spain is better, was a dead give away. He definitely gave the answer his boss wants.
As long as its lechon, it will be a tasty treat for me ❤
Would love to do a comparison like this! Both looked great.
theres a lot of lechon style in the philippines, the best lechon i eat is a WILD PIG Lechon in Mindanao
I haven't seen any other country like Spain who cares on food served for people. they are super clean and cooked with maximum care to it..
Didn't you guys upload this before ?
Whenever Sonny uploads a new food video, he always gets my taste buds going! Knock it off, Sonny! ☺️
Do you live in a rock? This is a reupload
@@leoncraftmc You don't seem to understand English. My comment is being stated in a broad "general" sense. In case you don't understand, I'll explain to help your intelligence. I said, "Whenever Sonny uploads a NEW food video..." And also your English is poor too. You don't say "Do you live 'in' a rock?" it's "Do you live 'under' a rock?" And since it seems like you're just a troll 🧌, I won't be wasting any more comments with you! Many people here don't like trolls like you.
A fair comparison would be between this cochinillo and the Philippine lechon de leche.
Check out 9:15 he specifically said that he tried suckling pig in the Philippines

has this been reuploaded? i feel like ive watched this already. oh but who cares? still gonna watch it
I guess so too lol
I miss lechon.. Thanks sonny for this video!! And im always watching your vlog.. Proud to be Filipino🇵🇭
Whatever
So glad You visited my country! Even more when Its Madrid, where Im from, so You can appreciate "callos" (one of my favourite dishes around the world).
Hope to see more, or see You again in Spain!!! :)
Hands down nobodys ever turned down Filipino Lechon period its roasted to perfection and not overly salty like in some latin countries. In other words it's not hard like a rock where you would break a tooth like in PR or DR plus ours stay succulent and juicy
It's true that roasted pig in the Philippines is pre-colonial. It's just like Adobo. The name is Spanish but the ingredients that are used in the Filipino lechon didn't originate in Spain and it wasn't inspired by Spain at all.
@Trooth Most Filipinos have European surnames from Spain now too but Filipinos didn't even have a surname before. Filipinos were converted to Christianity and Islam but our ancestors were practicing animism before. That's what happens when your ancestors gets colonized. I'm sure Adobo and Lechon had a different name before but we lost it due to colonization.
Correct, this episode seen already, how come it's out again 🤔🤔🤔
Was thinking the Same !

Thank you for the update, at least now I know what happened, I thought I was having a Mandala Effect going on 🤔🤣 Thanks again dam 👍
You should have go to Portugal and try the Leitão à Bairrada to taste the best "Lechon" :)
Yep
Even as a Filipino, I will say that proper Spanish Cochinillo is divine.
Exactly! COCHINILLO not lechon
Asia for some reason always makes anything cuisine better. And I admire that! Embrace!
Hey Sonny I do enjoy all your videos you are so funny and have such great humor. Please come to Trinidad and Tobago in the near future👍💯
We call that Lechon de Leche here in the PH and its prepared similarly. You'll find them at some fancy karaoke resto-bars in Davao. By the way, we forgive our lechonero compadre with you as we know he only wants to keep his job.
Conchinillio is different..from lechon of philippines...which is more juicier in sauce..in ingredients...conchinillo is raosted inside ah oven...philippine lechon was raosted in a charcoal ..turning it for an hour or more..the raosting smell of charcoal makes it more flavorful...❤❤❤❤
You do realize although you are in Spain, the person who prepared your cochinillo is a Filipino. So the winner here is . . .
The restaurant because they pay low salary.
Re-up ?
On what? Weed? Coke? Molly?
Come to Puerto Rico in the Caribbean and try our lechón!
Go to Portugal and try Leitão à Bairrada
The best EVER
I’m Filipina and been
To Spain several times I can honestly say the best Lechon is actually in Bali. Babi Guling boots on lechon. The herbs, lemongrass etc stuffed inside crispy kulit (chicharon) and the accompaniments of lawar, sup daging or the sauce. Best lechon I’ve ever had. If you go to Bali try Warung Pak Dodot in NW Bali or Warung Pak Dobil se Bali Nusa Dua. Soooo delicious 🤤
Not by a mile. You're indonesian for sure
And you've never been in Cebu Philippines!
@@rudy9670 actually I’ve been 3 times. Cebuano lechon is great and closest to Balinese Babi Guling but yeah it’s just more delicious in Bali. Perhaps I will need to sample your suggestions for where to eat when I next return to Cebu. 😊
@@CruzR1111 not really. Ive been there several times and it's not even close to cebu lechon.
@@HunterPh you’ve been to Bali several times you mean? Then check out those Warungs from my original comment next time and please let me know where you think is best to go in Phil’s. Food is subjective and I’m open to suggestions for where to try as I obviously haven’t been to every place that specialises in Lechon in Phil’s.
I’ve just had a lot of very average lechon in Philippines and in Australia. Though my favourite lechon in Australia is Sydney Cebu archon.
4:56 Buena pronunciación, You surprised me.
The best lechon in the Philippines comes from Carcar Cebu it so so crispy very flavorful and juicy you don’t need sauce to eat with it it’s gravy is oozing with meat tenderness
i love callos, we do have Philippine version of callos ♥️
We went there in 2018 and tried the lechon. For me the Philippine lechon tasted better. Even the chefs said they’ve preferred Philippine lechon way better.
Not at all.
So funny how Marc was just there not long ago and I enjoyed his review, and now you gave me a different look at the place and now I REALLY must go there!
Ps: Why do you guys have to compare? I’ve found fantastic lechón in Cebu, DR and PR. They may be similar but the tastes are completely different and I loved that!
I tried Lechon in portugal & spain, very similar taste.. however in Barcelona I tried Lechon on Lamb.. that was soo amazing
I prefer cochinillo more than lechon. We also have cochi here in the Philippines 😂 we cut it using plate because the skin is crunchy and the meat is so soft.
In Spain the most tradicional is cut with the plate too, jaja
Proud colonized
Sonny my fellow food lover, you need to hit the mountains in Central Puerto Rico for the Lechon Highway before you have this debate my friend. It doesn't matter which stand or vendor, just follow your nose. Beers cold and the skin is perfectly crisped 🙏all is good in that moment.
My grandfa is a spaniard. It was the spanish who introduces the LECHON DE LECHE, caldereta,fried chicken etc.
Wow that wine cellar is spectacular I'm amazed they allowed you to even video that to be honest.
As a Filipino fan, this is top 10 anime betrayals Sonny!
JK I still love you guys!
It would be hard to beat a cochinillo asado from Spain.
Along pulpo a la Gallega, boquerones en vinagre and jamón Ibérico.
My absolute favourite food in the world.
Spanish food is from another planet.
7:50 He almost made the mark wiens signature move. This must have been super good
I guess the safest answer is "the lechon I make." 😂
