HELENS'S NATIVE LECHON

"ONE OF THE OLDEST LECHON HOUSE IN CEBU"

After three decades of serving lechon and growing its clientele, Helen Ramin’s son, Leonardo “Neeboy” Ramin Jr.,— now the proprietor of Helen’s Lechon—realized that there are more delicacies on the island that needs to be showcased. That’s why he came up with the brand’s “Lechon Party Box.”

The Lechon Party Box is filled with appetizing items that even Cebuanos can’t say no to:

Ngohiong, a deep-fried battered rice-paper roll filled with jicama and shredded coconut palm heart; chicharon bulaklak, deep-fried pork large intestines, a famous local appetizer and street food; pork sisig, a dish made from chopped pig head with liver; lumpiang Shanghai, a popular mainstay during Filipino gatherings; shaing, fried pork intestine; pork barbeque;

dugo-dugo (blood stew), a Filipino stew made of pork meat cooked in pig’s blood, spices and vinegar; and of course, the Cebu lechon.

“We have so many gastronomic food choices that tourists need to try to complete their Cebu experience other than the famous Lechon. So I decided, ‘why not showcase these along with lechon?’ Our goal is to promote Cebu delicacies in a box. It’s like you’re going on a food trip without going from one place to another,” said Ramin.

The Lechon Party Box is also perfect for simple gatherings, island hopping and pasalubong. It is only available at its main outlet in M. Cuenco Ave., Cebu City. One may also order through Helen’s Native Lechon on Facebook or through 0927-878-3210 or 0998-793-7012. One is highly encouraged to place orders two days ahead.
