Thanks MM, wasn’t able to stop by any of the branches to pick up some jam but I did get more lechon at the airport departure area. My fridge almost always has 1 kilo of frozen Zubuchon for when the craving strikes! :) Good thing I have friends who fly in and out of Cebu pretty often so I rarely run out. Hehe. Sorry, perpetually hungry pregnant woman in the house. Hehe.

Finally got to eat Zubuchon! I wanted to buy everything on the menu but unfortunately my my family are picky eaters. But i ordered lechon, munggo and bangus and all were delicious!
I must say the lechon was really great since we came at about past 10am and the lechon just arrived.

Andrew, thank you for your feedback; it is especially gratifying to hear that the experience was so pleasant despite the hiccups. Our staff had gone on double shifts for the 2-3 days of the 13th, 14th and 15th, and by midnight of Sunday, were exhausted. So I made a snap decision to close the following morning until 4pm to allow them some time to rest and get some sleep. So the closure wasn’t previously announced, and I apologize for the inconvenience for going out of your way to get to the Mango store. We sold hundreds of kilos of lechon on the 16th at the airport so I am glad you were able to get some to take home. It was a WILD SINULOG weekend; our first, and there were many lessons learned. If you manage to get to Cebu in calmer times, may I suggest you visit the stores at around 11-12noon or 6-7pm to get the pigs that are JUST delivered, and hopefully still steaming from the butt, the best way to enjoy them. Again, thanks for your business and feedback.

After 4 consecutive years of being in Cebu for the Sinulog, I finally got to have my first taste of Zubuchon. Despite the rave reviews, I took everything with a grain of salt. I’ve had my share of heaven-on-a-plate advertised delights(?), both in and out of the country, only to be disappointed upon the first bite. I am so glad to be proven wrong with Zubuchon. It is every bit as delicious and sumptuous as advertised if not more! :)

As Cebu was packed to the rafters, I was only able to visit the Gen. Maxilom branch on the 16th only to find it closed. I had to settle for the pick-up at Mactan Airport. I eagerly waited to get home to Manila and grab my first bite. I did not eat my first meal of Zubuchon, no, I gorged on it. Add to the fact that I had to reheat my Zubuchon, my mouth waters at the thought of enjoying the freshly cooked version.

I was able to buy enough for both my family’s personal consumption and for pasalubong. Wifey, seeing how I was wolfing it down and out of genuine concern for my well-being, immediately set out to distribute the pasalubong lest I devour all 6kg of the sinful delight. I guess the image of me suddenly keeling over ran through her mind. :D

Kudos to you sir Marketman and your staff for this truly world-class product!

Pit Senyor to everyone. I miss the Sinulog this year but hopefully next year puhon maningkamot jud ko makauli para sa Sinulog. We also celebrate Sinulog here in Stavanger, Norway. It’s a big event in the Filipino Community here. We, Cebuanos are so proud of it. Thanks, MM for the Zubuchon addresses.

MM I will be in Cebu this Friday, will definitely stop by Zubuchon Mango on my way back to Manila. Hopefully I make it in time for the fresh lechon but I will definitely pick up a kilo of frozen at the airport like always. Looking forward to Sunday lunch of fried lechon with rock salt and pinakurat and tons of rice. :) By the way is your guava jam available now? They only had kalamansi last time I was there. :)
