Because of the lockdowns, they had to quickly pivot and streamline their menu to more delivery-friendly options.</p><p>The reason to order food at Lechoneria is, well, the lechon belly. The restaurant prepares their lechon as 4-kilo rolls stuffed full of tanglad and seasoned with a secret mix of spices. </p><p>Serving this beast of a serving at a gathering is guaranteed to get some &quot;ooohs&quot; and &quot;ahhhs&quot; out of the guests. The lechon is packed with flavors as with the requisite skin, which does retain its crunch even when delivered within Metro Manila.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="The lechon belly is ready for delivery.

A no-brainer is their lechon sisig, which retains the flavors of the tanglad and spices even after being cooked with onions and local chilies.</p><p>Instead of raw fish, Lechoneria’s much more indulgent version of Kilawin has lechon belly soaked in a mix of vinegar, ginger, and chilies. Another staple is the Laing Lechon, with chunks of lechon belly sauced by the mix of coconut milk, spices, and taro leaves.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="Lechon sa Laing.

Their loaded Pancit Dagat is their version of Palabok with minced shrimp and squid. Their Kare-kare is properly rich with a side of their bagoong, and Sinigang is nicely sour with chunks of tender beef.</p><p>With the restrictions loosening up, this is a great place to dine in as lechon is best when served hot and fresh. Lechoneria has some items, such as drinks and dessert, that are not available for delivery.</p><p>If you’ve been ordering from the same old Filipino restaurants and you’re looking for something new, Lechoneria should give you a happy belly experience.</p><p>Lechoneria is located at the 2nd Level City Center of SM North in Quezon City.
