Food Scene
Lechón is the Spanish word for suckling pig and in the Philippines, it connotes a whole roasted pig or “ litsong baboy,” in the local language. The process of cooking the lechón involves the whole pig or piglet that has been impaled in a bamboo branch and being slowly roasted over charcoal. The roasted pig is often cooked during national festivities or fiestas, the holiday season, birthdays, weddings, baptisms, family reunions, and other special occasions. The popularity of Lechon Cebu has made it one of the best tasting versions of lechon in the Philippines. The uniqueness of the lechon from Cebu comes from the stuffing for the lechon and the sauce dip used for it.

Here's another lovely "Instragramable" café in Cebu. A few meters away from JY Square, escape the noise and the traffic jam in the cosy Café Caw. From 11 AM onwards, dive into their impressive menu: 10 different kind of coffees, 7 set of breakfasts, and so many desserts, from cookies, cupcakes, pancakes, brownies to apple crumbles!
Not a sweet tooth? Well, not a problem since they also serve pasta and grabs like mozzarella sticks and onion blossoms.
The little café has 2 stories, and we loved the pastel colors of the first floor. Cafe Caw is undoubtedly a great place to chill out with friends or just enjoy a good book in silence.
