Hello! As I have mentioned in one of the previous posts, one of the dish you really need to try when you go to the Philippines is Lechon, a whole pig, seasoned and charcoal roasted.
Here in Cebu is where you could find the best Lechon in the Philippines because here in Cebu, the Lechon is tastier because of the special seasonings that they use to marinate the whole pig before roasting. The best tasting Lechon here in Cebu is CNT Lechon. It is the most famous name in Lechon and whenever my brother asks me to bring home a Lechon, he asks for CNT. So now, I would like to give you some information about where you could find CNT lechon around Cebu. As of now, there are 4 locations I can tell you where you can find CNT.
1. Ayala Mall – CNT Lechon is located at the 4th Floor food court of this mall, very close to the movie theater. It is located in between Quickly and Smokin rice. Since it is located in a foodcourt, you can order your Lechon and have it Dine in or take out.
2. SM City Mall – CNT Lechon is located just in front of the grocery supermarket of SM. Here you can have your Lechon either Dine in or Take out.
3. Archbishop Reyes Ave., Cebu City – Another branch of CNT Lechon is located at Archbishop Reyes Ave., near Grand Convention Center, beside Redtag. Here you can only order your Lechon for Take out. If it is meant as Pasalubong(present), you might even be able to ask them to pack it for you in a box, with additional charge, of course.
4. V. Rama st., Guadalupe. – This is probably the main branch of CNT as this is the biggest branch that I have seen so far, well aside from the one I saw in front of SM before but now it is not there anymore. If you are coming from Capitol, it is on the left side of the road going to Guadalupe Church. Here you can order your lechon either dine in or take out with other dishes.
Hope this helps. I will update this blog later if I find more CNT branches around Cebu.
