Hi there,
I’m Ilocana and I miss filipino food. I was craving for lechon kawali today so I went to walmart and bought a pork shoulder since they dont have pork belly available. I did’nt cook my lechon kawali yet so I tried going online and looking for a recipe. I love the direction i found on your site.I’ll share it with my fellow soldiers. mabuhay!

…tip para makatipid sa electricity or lpg, try to use uling sa pag-deep fry or even when using pressure cooker…that is if you don’t live in a condo…

I always wondered what bagnet is when I first heard it, I always thought it was the same as lechon kawali.

The first time i tasted bagnet i fell in love with it. I shipped them out to Cebu and mind us, it was still crunchy 3 days after without hints of getting fouled out. Wooaaa, takam-takam Viva mga Kabalens!

An Ilocana friend taught me how to reheat bagnet to make it crispy. At ref temp,put bagnet in pan with oil (do not heat pan first!!) and allow the pan to heat up with the bagnet. Then,you get crispy bagnet. She gifted us with bagnet slabs—and it worked like a breeze! Crispy yummy bagnet–serve with chopped tomatoes,lason and ilocano bagoong!!! Yummmy!

The difference of Bagnet with Lechon Kawali…. is simply where you eat it and who cooked it! when you consume it in Ilocos please give respect to Ilocano who cooked it call it Bagnet but if you are just plain street of Manila call it Lechon Kawali for me anytime,anywhere, anyhow they cook it or who cooked it is my ultimate comfort food. “love it”

Wow, this is one of my favorites… I am now making a proposal on bagnet production and stand at San Felipe, Zambales. I feel the need for San Felipe to have a better place to buy bagnet instead of it buying from the fresh market. Aside from Ilocos, San Felipe, Zambales sells the best tasting bagnet too! try it in one of your trips here while enjoying our beaches.
