Zubuchon is our most favorite lechon restaurant in Metro Manila.
Zubuchon remains our favorite lechon place in Metro Manila. From the moment we had our first taste of their lechon middle of last year,
Zubuchon has been our benchmark as to what good lechon should be.
Zubuchon: it's a love affair with our favorite lechon
Our experience at Zubuhon Restaurant
We went to Zubuchon for the third time early this year, thanks to the
P2,000 worth of gift certificates I received from them.
I was fortunate to have been chosen as one of the winners of their Instagram contest which they ran before Valentine’s Day. But with or without the free gift certificates, we would always return here, having fallen in love at first bite with their lechon.
The name Zubuchon, as I later found out, came from the fusion of the words “Zubu,” which was the ancient name of Cebu, and “Chon” or short for lechon or roast pig.
For those who have tasted Cebu’s own version of lechon, many of them would perhaps consider it as a strong contender for the best lechon in the Philippines. The meat and skin are seasoned well and packed with flavors, hence, foregoing the need for sauce. Cebu lechon is served with just a spicy vinegar dip.
The food
When we were settled in our seats, we ordered Zubuchon Boneless, baked
scallops, ensaladang kamatis, itlog na maalat at tinapang bangus (red
egg, tomato, and smoked bangus salad), and sizzling squid stuffed with
sisig. Our orders arrived promptly so we waited for no further and began our
meal.

| Zubuchon boneless |
You can never go wrong with Zubuchon Boneless; it is always on point. The skin is crunchy, like crumbly crunchy, and exploding with flavors. It was good on its own but I also like to dip it in spicy vinegar just to temper the richness of the skin.

| Baked scallops |
The meat is also another story; it was fragrant and smelled like lemongrass and herbs. The meat is tender and succulent, with just the right quantity of fat when you bite into it.
Like the skin, it was also flavorsome. The taste was consistent with every bite; it was like every part of the pig was meticulously seasoned before it was carefully roasted.
 |
| Red egg, tomato, and smoked bangus salad |
The Sizzling Squid stuffed with Sisig was a dish that we tried here for the first time. It was also delicious; the squid being tender despite its size. The sisig stuffing made this dish more savory than regular sizzling squid.

Meanwhile, the Baked Scallops and the Red Egg, Tomato, and Smoked Bangus Salad, are our perennial favorite appetizers. The fish skin taco is another favorite but we were not able to order it this time.

| Onions, chili, calamansi, and tomatoes for the dipping sauce |
The Baked Scallops are cheesy and plump scallops that are perfect for
whetting the appetite. It was addicting to eat. Lastly, the Red Egg,
Tomato and Smoked Bangus Salad is a refreshing upgrade to the usual
itlog na maalat and kamatis combo, with the tinapang bangus adding a
depth of flavor to this siding.
Our verdict
What we love about Zubuchon is their attention to service. In the three times that we went here, the servers were consistently courteous when taking orders. They would also ask if we needed anything or just to find out if we were enjoying our food.
All in all, Zubuchon is a fine restaurant in terms of food and service.
Whatever magic that they do, I hope that they can sustain it at all times
because we would love to be back here regularly.

ReplyDeleteJust thinking about lechon makes me crave crispy skin. One of the best specialties in our country. You do not need to wait for an occasion to enjoy lechon, just go to zubuchon to satisfy the craving.
ReplyDeleteAng ganda ng mga videos na makikita at na feature dito sa Travel Wonders. Talagang nakuha mula sa mga naka experience na pumunta sa iba't ibang lugar tulad sa Vigan. Nakakatuwa dahil napakahistorical ng lugar, makikita mo yung kultura at tradisyon nating mga Pilipino. At least kahit hindi pa tayo nakakabalik sa normal ngayon para na rin tayong nakakapagtravel. 😍🤗
ReplyDeleteGrabe ang mga pagkain dito sa Zubuchon! Talaga naman nakakagutom.. Hindi lang sa letchon, may iba't iba pa silang foods na inoofer like baked scallops na gusto ko talaga matry. Plus, napakaganda ng service kaya siguro binabalik balikan talaga ng mga customers. 🤗❤️
