KAYKEN'S LECHON

When we talk about Cebu, we talk about the world's famous, Lechon de Cebu. So I have decided to feature it first. So I called my buddy Vior and ask him if he wants to go with me fill my stomach with one of the best lechon in town, KayKen's Lechon.

Now, KayKen's Lechon is ranked no. 3 in QTV's Pinaka (in their episode, Pinakamasarap na Lechon sa Pilipinas). Mila's Lechon (which is also found in Cebu) may be no. 1, but the tongue knows no numbers.

When we arrived, a lot of people were waiting for their orders, hungry and impatient. The service was fast but the people is just too impatient to wait and sink their teeth on that tender part of the meat. KayKen's Lechon offers not just lechon, they also serve Lechon Manok, Kinilaw, Pochero, and a couple of others. But at that time, we don't want anything else. We only want their lechon, the real thing, the real deal.


KayKen's lechon is just so good, the first bite was orgasmic. The meat was so tender and is always fresh from the bamboo stick. The best part of the lechon is its skin and ooh la-la, so crunchy and tasty, my diet died on that very moment. With pure coconut vinegar that has been spirited with bird's eye chili (Sili), it was so darn good, you will forget your name for a minute.


But Vior and I were afraid the lechon might get lonely on the table, so we ordered Dinuguan. Aaah, I just love the texture of their Dinuguan. All the spices were all balanced and you will get to taste a pinch of sour taste in it. The taste is never distorted and the meat was really there. And when you pour the Dinuguan on their massive, grenade-like Puso (Hanging rice), like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, they make a delicious couple. No better way we can spend our 235 pesos (Softdrink included).

The place is well lighted, clean and well ventilated. It also have a parking lot which is right beside the restaurant.

KayKen's Lechon is located at the back of Gaisano Tabunok in Talisay City, Cebu.
