A trip to Cebu is not complete without eating the famous Cebu Lechon!
Our short vacation didn't include any side trips to nearby tourist attractions because we wanted maximize our time in Plantation Bay. But a lechon meal was something we just couldn't resist.
There are two restaurants in Cebu that are known for their lechon: Zubuchon atnd CnT Lechon. We've already tried CnT Lechon back in 2010. As far as I can remember, there were lots of people in the restaurant because its lunch time and the lechon is really, really good. And just like any other restaurant in Cebu, they're main dipping sauce is vinegar. Yummy!

For this trip, we wanted to try the other restaurant people have been raving about, Zubuchon. The fact that Anthony Bourdain has tried their dish makes it even more interesting. It was also a more convenient option because they have a branch that's just a few minutes away from Mactan Airport. The good staff of Plantation Bay was kind enough to bring us there.
As expected, the lechon was awesome! Especially the skin, its crispy and fatty and juicy as you bite. (Okay, so maybe I won't make it as a food blogger)
Aside from the 1/2 kilo of lechon, we also ordered Ensaladang Talong (which wasn't that good because there were lots of ginger in it), fresh buko juice (that was golden in Plantation Bay) and Kamias Shake (which was surprisingly good). We also had leche flan for dessert. The best part was, our entire meal costs just around Php500!
When they say "pigs can fly", they mean it. They deliver lechons to Manila at a fairly good price. Still waiting for an occasion to have an excuse to avail this offer.
In the end, I still couldn't decide which restaurant serve the better lechon. I'd try again both when I come back to Cebu!
