Savor Cebu’s best with Hukad and Golden Cowrie’s new offerings
Beyond beautiful beaches and heavenly highlands, Cebu is also well known for another thing— mouthwatering, flavorful dishes and delicacies. From humba cooked in the town of Ronda, chicharon fried in the city of Carcar to the abundance of fresh seafood throughout the island, food is one reason people keep coming back to Cebu.
Enjoy the best of what Cebu has to offer, and feast away on local favorites—Lechon Paksiw, Lechon Sisig and Bay Scallops at Hukad, Golden Cowrie, and Golden Cowrie Filipino Kitchen.
No talk of Cebu food is complete without the mention of lechon. While many places in the Philippines have their unique takes on this specialty, Cebu’s version is one of the country’s most sought-after. While nothing compares to enjoying lechon in its full glory, there are countless ways to have it especially afterward—paksiw and sisig being among some of the most popular. Hukad and Golden Cowrie’s Lechon Paksiw is given a fresh yet traditional take, with choice cuts of lechon belly cooked in vinegar and soy sauce for a familiar, comforting flavor. Meanwhile, Lechon Sisig is a spin on the classic pulotan, with lechon belly sautéed in aromatic spices that will keep people coming back for a second round.
Another recent addition to the menu is the Bay Scallops with Taba ng Talangka. Paying homage to Cebu’s abundance of seafood, this dish is baked in cheese and combined with tasty crab fat to give it that burst of flavor.
In Cebu, Lechon Paksiw and Lechon Sisig are available at Salinas, Golden Cowrie SM City Cebu, Mactan, A.S. Fortuna and Lahug and Hukad Cybergate, SM Seaside and Parkmall. Bay Scallops with Taba ng Talangka is offered in all branches. For those in the north, check out the newly opened Hukad Danao.
