Pepita's Lechon has been on our sights for months but we couldn't commit on ordering one whole pig just to have a taste. Fortunately, Century City Mall's Hole in the Wall held a pop up event to showcase the said dish.
Lechon is all about crunchy pork skin & soft pork meat. Get those 2 just right and you'll definitely be in a yummy albeit sinful gastronomical journey.
Two candelabras with a large silver platter in the middle, this looked like a lechon altar of sorts. But where was the pig?
It was actually moved inside for easier chopping. We got two orders of the Truffle Rice Stuffed Lechon de Leche.
It didn't take that long before they served it up on plates. Instead of the usual lechon sauce, Pepita's serves theirs with spicy labuyo on the side. Those tiny Philippine flags were a nice touch.
