Oh i missed the chicharon bulaklak =(. We were there last May. My American Fiance loves your Lechon and Kalamansi shake. The moment we arrived at Cebu, i pulled him to look around but did not tell him i’m aiming to look for Zubuchon Branch! I was jumpin’ like a kid when i saw your branch @ One Mango Mall. Bought 5 Kalamansi and 1 Mango Marmalade even am not sure how much extra weight i have =). When we reach the airport got a kilo of frozen lechon. I must say “Mission accomplished”!

Hands down my favorite comfort food of all time! I used to buy a kilo of these once every 2 months when I was still in my 20’s :)

I love chicharon. I wonder if I inherit it from my Mom’s taste bud. My Mom is 82 years old now and she’s always craving for chicharon in any form. Kahit pa nastroke na, paminsan minsan nagpapabili pa rin ng chicharon. I told her hinay hinay lang Mama!! I remember my godfather Ninong Kiko with a chicharon store in Evangelista St, Makati in the old days. Love his chicharon bulaklak.

Dont sleep right away after indulging on this… Mr Gandolfini had Foie Gras prior to his demise I heard.. This is just as bad and delicious!!

MM, how many kilos would a medium pig have of this mesentery?

Hi becky, thanks for dropping by the airport stall. It is a shadow of the outlets, as the operating requirements mean we have great difficulty delivering meals (no knives, just microwaves and induction cookers, etc.) so I am happy to hear you enjoyed your dishes. For our champorado, we use the finest Cebuano pure tablea we can find, not cocoa, so it has that truly old-fashioned feel and taste to it. Hence, the association perhaps with your lola’s version. :)

I just came from Cebu and have visited your branch at the airport and I must say, nicely done! We didn’t get the chance to eat at the other branches during our stay and just thought of buying some lechon at your outlet in the airport. But lo and behold was a full-on Zubuchon eating spot. I was excited to try out the dishes on offer and got the Champorado and I was really happy with it because it didn’t skimp on the cocoa. It reminded me of my lola’s champorado :) I also bought a frozen chorizo to be used here in Manila.

I wish you’ll have an outlet here soon because I know you won’t serve anything less than high quality there :)

I read part of the title as ‘deep-fried dysentery,’ and chuckled at how that could be an apt description of cause and effect for this food.
