My favorite take out meal

source: Lembest lechon

I remember way back in the 80's my parents always bring home lechon manok almost every week sometimes after the sunday mass. We always eat the skin first before everything else and I recall the last part that was always left was the "pitcho" or the breast part of the chicken since it is less juicy among all the scrumptious chicken body. When we learn that there will be a manok pasalubong, me and my brother will rush to the nearest store to buy a carbonated drink "a coke and 1 big plastic of ice cubes." The best part that I love is the chicken ass..Weird but I really like it!

Lechon manok fad



Throughout the years, roasted chicken and pig became one of the most famous delicacies that Asians love. In some countries like China and Philippines, this food is always remembered at gatherings and other special occasions to somewhat unite the family more closer and acts as a significant icon for gratefulness. Tradition and culture varies with regards to cooking but a sensational lechon once tasted by anyone will make their taste buds shout for more with joy. 





Ducks and Chickens are less greasy compared to pig and cow but regardless the high contained fat, eating happy is the choice of many. Moderation is the key to anything in this world which then tells us that high consumption of fatty foods may cause a bad health and everyone knows that. It is a bright idea to eat oat meal in the morning combined with exercise to burn some calories you temptingly ate last night. Lechon is also a fast and exciting dish to take home when every parent is busy and cannot prepare home cooked meals for sometime. Stores are designed for rushing people available even at midnight to serve office workers with no food ready to consumed at home.


Lechon has been truly an amazing historical dish and recognized anyone in the world that is why this might be a great idea to have it as your future business. Instead of keeping your savings in the bank, why not try to goal something that would make your money work for itself. Who knows you could be the one to cater for some big events or maybe serve many people in your town when you take the chance to start.
