Don Lechon (Grandlink Square)

Very tender lechon

Returned again to Don Lechon, my favourite Lechon store in SG.

Always wanted to try the Lechon Sisig, but scared it will be too much for me.

Served in a hot plate, with chopped bits of lechon with chillies, lime, egg, onions etc etc.

The first few mouthful were very good.

But started to get a bit too greased out for me and was struggling to finish this.

Best to eat in a group to share.

Only after working for 3 years around the area we find ourselves having this lip-smacking Filipino pork belly. I guess never too late?
Some might prefer the Chinese crackling skin against the flat crunchy skin of Lechon but the pork meat was absolutely delicious. An order of the Milkfish Sinigang helps balance the meat galore with a tangy stew; also the milkfish is soft but I suggest avoiding the skin that reminds you of the fish’s life form in a stale water body.

Lechon is a dish that features a whole roasted suckling pig cooked over charcoal that comprises fat and plump chunks of pork. I would say it is a thicker version of sio bak but done in Filipino style, served with a heap of rice 》$10

The crackling skin is crispy while the meat was tender and flavourful. The fat to meat ratio is good where pieces of fats melt in the mouth while the meat is firm and springy with a good bite. The accompanying sauce is another must-try. The sauce had a mix between pork liver, sugar, vinegar and spices. It was thick, peppery and flavourful with a tinge of sweetness.

Veggie kare kare (ala carte) @ $5

Mixture of long beans, xiao baicai (?) and brinjal. The sauce is a bit like curry sauce but with peanut taste, quite nice!
