Hello there! Great review. Although I believe the lucban longanisa you purchase is definitely not an original recipe. I am from Quezon and I am 100% sure Longanisang Lucban is not sweet and it doesn’t have sugar in it. Second, the red color is not from food coloring but from atsuete and the reason it is dry is because these longanisa are hanged and dried for several days prior to selling. It is available in two sizes (small and large), perahps the one you bought was the small ones; the large ones are juicier. I love longanisang lucban, although I am not also a fan of its red coloring. Vigan longanisa is also good. Haven’t tried Tuguegarao’s though.

I love the Tuguegarao longganisa. the longganisa of Aling Cora is delicious She has stall at Don Dominggo public market. If you can’t find her there just ask the tricycle drivers where her house is. There, you can buy freshly made longganisa by the boxes. Tastiest longganisa ever. Vigan & Lucban longganisa are tasty too, but Tuguegarao longganisa is perfect.

I have been craving Tuguegarao longganisa the whole week and I can’t find any here in Manila! (At least not in the grocery stores). Is there any place in Manila — QC area exactly — where they sell the real thing? I’ve come across a recipe online and I’d be willing to make my own but I’m sure there’s an easier way and I can just buy some. Any help appreciated! Thanks!

I tried different longganizas especially the popular ones like the Lucban longganiza and of course the Vigan Longganiza. I am a big fan of the garlicky-tangy type of sausage but when I went to my friend’s house for breakfast, they served the calumpit longganiza and from that moment it started my love for their local longganiza. For me, it is the perfffeccct longganiza I have ever tasted in my entire life (especially since I grew up eating the vigan longganiza since childhood). It’s not too garlicky or sweet and I guess you should try going to the public market of Calumpit and buy the longganiza there…it’s all worth your trip :)

p.s
love your blog!

Nice post! I am partial to Calumpit longganiza since my maternal side is from there. We usually boil it first for about 30 mins then fry it to a crisp until the skin is bit dark and crunchy. Alaminos longganisa is also good. There seems to be a longganiza trend which is great- Longganiza Sorpresa and Sonsi’s both in the Kapitolyo area.

My Top 5 Longanizas

1. Alaminos, Pangasinan – Savory – Best looking with their built in toothpicks. Fried to a crisp or roasted bbq style. its aroma is mouth watering. The lousiest cooks cannot mess this longganiza up. Always delicious. Best with egg and fried rice cooked from the longganizas lard drippings.

2. Batac, Ilocos – Savory- This longaniza is huge. it is one continuous tube of meat and has no links. garlicky flavor, has less fat but as a consequence is less tender when cooked. still a very good longaniza.

3. Tugegarao – Sweet – Made by Ybanag Cooperative. This Longganiza made from Carabao Beef is surprisingly tender and on the sweet side. the only hint of its meat origins is its really dark meat. Ybanag produces a pork variant too but i like the carabeef variant best.

4 Unimart Grocery- Sweet -My childhood favorite Sweet but balanced with lots of pepper. This longganiza is huge thick and juicy.

5. Baguio – sweet- There is a longganiza stall in the public market who supplies Baguio Country Club with his delicious breakfast links. Its worth a trip for longaniza lovers.
Its links are sweet but not overly sweet.
