Zubuchon @ Mactan Marina Mall


Strolling around the Mactan Marina Mall, I stumbled upon this restaurant that looked very upscale for its name - Zubuchon! Oh and it was already 1836H, so, I told my royal highness "lechon! let's try this"!

So I entered! I immediately remembered that it has been like ages since I last had Zubuchon. So GoRa!

Wait! Did I say "upscale"? Yes I did, since all other branches I have been to, didn't at all look like this!

Just look at the table setup and utensils, everything looks like a Chinese restaurant than a Zubuchon!

But of course, the usual, and a favorite of many customers, the three sauces, are still ever present!

Honestly, I don't even know the 3rd bottle. Left is vinegar (suka), middle is toyo (soy sauce) and what?

Then my Zubuchon came! This is my favorite set, the Boneless Lechon Fast Meal (it's a set meal).

The funny thing tonight was: I enjoyed that monggo thing than the lechon itself hehe. It's really good.

Anyway {burp} let me say what I always say... Zubuchon is not the "Cebu Lechon" or "Lechon Cebu". It's a totally different thing, even if the owners insist that it is the "Cebu Lechon"! Don't get me wrong, not that I don't like Zubuchon. I love it in fact. But as I've said before, the herbs and other tastes (spices?) of their every pig, makes Zubuchon like the 5-star of the lowly inasal. Dili ni lagi sya ang litson bisaya!

If you ask me to give you "Cebu Lechon", chances are I will give you the "normal" ones!

Well, at least I had a good Pinoy dinner tonight, as I know there's none of that where I'm going ugma!

Trapped In Oras, Eastern Samar

Image
Oras is a pacific-facing town up the northern portion of Eastern Samar. This town's name is not pronounced like the Tagalog word for time. No, not like that! It is [o'ras] where the stress is in the second syllable. The speed and tone is like how you say the English words "alight", "chorale", "amass" or "awash". Okay, that's good enough, I know you got it! Uu da, oke na da it! Asya it! Yesterday, I was in the area checking on some work-related matters. Stayed overnight in this town as I haven't yet heard if accommodation facilities are available in San Policarpo or Arteche (these are the 3 northern-most towns of Eastern Samar). This morning, I was on my way to other nearby places, but.. I got trapped (happily) by a parade! That long white bridge behind them is the only way out south... A youngish set of town officials, I must say. Oh, the girl in the middle is not a muse. She is THE Mayor! But by the looks of it, she migh...

Hinatuan, A Quick Visit

Image
Happy (and thankful) to have seen the center of this town, even if I did not at all dream of being in the place yet! I only wanted to see Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted River which I thought were both in Bislig ! Only to find out that Enchanted River is even farther away than Hinatuan, from Bislig or Tinuy-an Falls! This place is out of the way if you come from anywhere in Bislig to the Enchanted River or vice-versa! So, how did I find myself here? Nag-detour? Well, I would like to think of this as some kind of a gift! An addition to my itinerary (at no extra cost), for lack of anything else to do and/or any place else to see! Why? Because we were moving too fast from place to place, because: I did not stay long at Tinuy-an Falls or Enchanted River.., because: there were just too many visitors that I did not enjoy it any longer! Whose fault? Mine! Lesson learned: DO NOT VISIT SURIGAO DEL SUR ON A HOLY WEEK! So.., because we were already done with Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted Ri...

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Image
Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d...
