Too bad.. Zubuchon is now closed in Banilad.. I went therE this morning.. Good thing zubuchon is still available in mactan airport, only that price is expensive by 40php per kilo. I bought 3kilos, its better than CnT (in my opinion).

Seller in airport told us that zubuchon is now in mango ave and capitolio

Aha, my puerto rican husband used to think that nothing beats their lechon back in the island. Zubuchon seriously humiliated him.

Great to see another lover of food putting quality to work! We used to breed our own pigs here that butchers loved because of the lean product but sad to say we were producing more meat than we could sell and most people were content with large lumps of fat as being the “tastier bits”. But I love the idea of using lemon grass in the feed to help flavour the meat before slaughter.

Another important thing I would like to say though with you mentioning the Banilad Market is I went along and I think if you love quality and love food I invite anyone to go along there to support the various stalls. Its not a big market in size but in quality aond organic produce its one of the best locations in Cebu. Support your local enterprises I couldn’t say it anymore than that..

being famous does not become you my dear friends ….!! I know how hard it can be… having hundreds of people lining up for your product and every once in a while you do disappoint, however it is the way to react to your customers after you fail to deliver that makes all the difference if he may or may not return a second time!!

Hi! :) I hope you don’t mind me linking you to my post. I’ve just been to Cebu last Jan and tried your Zubuchon! It’s great!

Hi! Can we eat at the Banilad Town Center? Is Zubuchon located in a food court type or our only option is for the lechon order to be delivered to the hotel?

Thanks!! All the best from Manila!

crabbychef, as humanely as possible I would think. I have answered this before, but can’t find my response to the same question. Our pigs are all backyard raised, not in from large piggeries. They are fed a mixture of feed and organic fruits/veggies. We have them 1-2 weeks before they are roasted in our own property in Cebu and we try to feed them the best possible feed/fruits/vegetables for their last two weeks of life. They are kept in spacious, covered outdoor pens, under a grove of chico trees. When there is an abundance of chicos, hundreds of kilos are fed to the pigs (ut this bounty is seasonal).. They get baths daily and their pens are cleaned twice a day. We have our own licensed slaughterhouse, and we employ the services of two professional and licensed butchers. We have healthy inpsectors visit us daily and certify the pork. I have seen them slaughter the pigs, and while it is ALWAYS a gruesome sight, I feel they are despatched quickly and with as much dignity as one can muster in this situation. I myself recognize they are giving up their lives to be our food, and are raised with that intent in mind…

MM, I just want to ask – are the pigs slaughtered humanely? It might seem like an off question during a season of frivolity and all, but I’m one of those people who get teary-eyed when I see a truckload of pigs going off to a slaughter house. :(
