Rico’s Lechon

Nobody does lechon like the Cebuanos, and thanks to Rico’s Lechon, you can get a taste of Cebu without flying to the island. You can order lechon via the Rico’s Lechon official website (prices start at ₱7,200), but if you think a whole lechon is too much for your family, you can get yourself their frozen ready-to-eat packs. At more affordable prices, why stop at regular lechon when you can get variants like spicy lechon and lechon binagoongan? You can also add their super flavorful lechon baka to your spread!

These food packs are available at leading supermarkets and groceries, but you can also pre-order for pick-up and delivery by contacting the Lechon Fulfillment Center at 0917-814-7648 / (02) 7799-0810

And for dessert, treat yourself to their new Ube Ensaymada and Dark Chocolate Ensaymada (₱55 each, ₱660 for 12). Soft, fluffy, buttery, with a twist — what more could you want? To order, call (02)8580-8888 or visit their official website.
