Lechon is one of the Filipino "Must Eat" delicacies that you should try when visiting the…read morePhilippines. If you live in America, then you may have tried Lechon if you attended a party hosted by Filipino friends. Believe me, though, Lechon tastes so much better in the Philippines. Specifically, I think Cebu makes the BEST tasting Lechon in the world!! For those of you who do not know, Lechon is a whole roasted pig!! A true Filipino Delicacy!! We stopped in at the House of Lechon in Talisay, Cebu to try their version of Lechon. They make a regular Lechon and a spicy Lechon. Both taste fantastic!! Love the mixture of spices they use to make such flavorful lechon!! My favorite was the Spicy Lechon!! It was the best I tasted during our 3 week trip in the Philippines. I tried about a dozen of them!! Hey, there were a lot of parties that we attended and each one served lechon. Anyways, the House of Lechon in Talisay, Cebu is a wonderful place to try this popular Filipino delicacy! Their restaurant looks great inside. Beautifully decorated and the staff was awesome!! 5 stars for the House of Lechon!! They know what they are doing here!!

An absolutely beautiful resort! We stayed at Hale Manna for 11 nights and enjoyed it immensely…read more Beautiful, spacious rooms with all the amenities to make the stay comfortable. We greatly appreciated the wonderful service of the entire Hale Manna staff. The restaurant offered a vast menu of delicious dishes. The large complex was beautiful and consisted of professionally manicured and maintained natural gardens and walkways. Numerous covered lounging areas dotted the shoreline, offering quiet secluded areas to relax and enjoy the ocean views. The reef was beautiful with colorful coral, an enormous variety of fish, sea-turtles, seahorses and other wildlife. Professional guides are available to assist snorkelers. Overall, Hale Manna is an outstanding resort and excellent value.

Ven'z is the most popular restaurant in the area for a reason!

Their portions are also a bit larger than normal and for the price it is a steal! They even offer vegan dishes which is unheard of in the Philippines. Honestly though, after seeing the poor living conditions of most Filipinos -- and knowing that most would starve with the mandatory lock down that was soon to come with the pandemic -- I don't ever want to be vegan. Alas, I digress... You could tell that they place freshness in high regard as all of their seafood items must be placed well in advanced. I was sad I could not order their kinilaw in that light, but their *Chicken Afritada* (P200) did provide a superior level of comfort! They use real chicken breast, which might have been a tad over done and therefore dry, but it did not matter since the tomato-based stew was rich and well-developed. I thought it was SUPER cute how they shaped the rice into a heart. The *Mango Float* came highly recommended and the fact that most people around us were ordering it gave us high prospects. They do pre-make these and freeze them as it would be difficult to craft the mango slices into what appeared to be a rose! Super crafty and the custard on the bottom was to die for! Ven'z certainly provides a finer dining experience which isn't always the case of most restaurants and eateries in the province. They are an anomaly, but they have figured out a formula that has allowed themselves to be successful and thereby enable them to afford and source the multitude of ingredients needed to cook such tasty meals.

We ordered the 1/4 Lechon, kangkong, scallops, soup and bbq chicken. We then had the meringue cheesecake and mango sticky rice. I cannot stress enough about how good the food here is. I can eat the lechon fat with rice as is by itself all day. The service here is phenomenal. Everything came on fairly quick, and the servers were so nice and thoughtful. Khim was our server and he was great. He recommended great food and even asked if we wanted a photo. The vibe of this place is nice. Everyone's happy and you can't help but have an appetite. Overall, this place deserves a 10/10 Would definitely come back and recommend.

Best Native Chicken! [CEBU CITY Philippines]…read more When it comes to food, Cebu has a lot to offer. From savory lechon (roast pork) to sweet desserts Cebu is a foodie's paradise. But we have been eating some form of lechon since we arrived on New Year's Day so I was getting tired of it LoL! just a little. I ordered grilled chicken instead. Conching's is famous for one thing: their charcoal-grilled native chicken. What is a native chicken? They are more commonly raised in rural areas, cage-free. They are smaller in size than the regular chicken, it's because of their organic diet. Both its size and diet make these native chicken unique and more natural in taste. We ordered two servings and it didn't disappoint. So delicious, salted just right and the skin is crunchy. Setting looks rundown, nothing fancy with long tables and plastic chairs and a grill out front. Very laid back. Live music entertained the diners... young adults with music instruments. I was amused. Filipinos love to sing. LoL!Friendly service. I just didn't like the flies... we had to keep swatting them so they don't go on our food. Review #3349

Not sure what authentic should feel like but this restaurant felt authentic considering I was the only foreigner there... One of the waiters is an interesting one - done up in a lot of make up and apparently very flirtatious and seems like he's a staple of the restaurant per their Facebook page... Anyway the native chicken cooked on these little grills but the chicken themselves are tiny - you probably need about one chicken a person. They have a lot of other grilled and friend foods including various fish - milkfish was the only one I recognized. We also tried the ceviche (local name I don't remember) but extremely good!! You should also try the puso which are the individually packaged rice which are local to cebu.... Very cool place and recommended if visiting,
