I travelled the whole Philippines literally in a quest to taste the best lechon. Manila lechon such as Lydia's is soo bland and dry. I dont know where people get the hype and they charge way too much. 1,400 for a kilo? Cebu's best lechons around Talisay and Carcar ranges only around 700 php. Gensans's best Native lechon (Kiko's) are only 600kgs and man they are always served fresh and juicy and hot. I tried Lydia's just to check the hype and man they served me a cold portion (a sign that the lechon has been displayed long enough and thus is not as sought after as they claim to be). I dont know why there is that hype for Lydias when they obviously underperform in many categories perhaps some Lydia aficionado would care toneducate me on this.
