Green Lechon Baboy w/ Dotted Pattern Goes Viral Online
The green Lechon Baboy adorned with food coloring to create a dotted pattern went viral after it was posted on social media.
Lechon, a mouthwatering dish, holds a special place in the hearts and stomachs of many Filipinos. This delicious treat is a star in various celebrations, making appearances at birthdays, weddings, and, of course, during the Christmas season.
Lechon is a dish made from a whole pig that is roasted until the skin becomes crispy and golden, while the meat inside remains incredibly tender and flavorful. Each region has its own twist, making lechon an exciting culinary adventure.
The process of making lechon involves seasoned marination and slow-roasting over an open flame. Some people cook it in a pit filled with charcoal, while others use specially designed ovens.
The result is a crispy skin that everyone eagerly looks forward to – a perfect balance of crunchiness and juiciness.
Recently, in the town of little Baguio, Valencia, located in Negros Oriental, a cute lechon called “Lechon De Pasko” captured the attention of netizens. The dish has been given a festive makeover to spread holiday joy.
Lechon De Pasko is no ordinary roasted pig, it has been adorned with food coloring to create a dotted pattern in bright green. The creative design transforms the traditional lechon into a lively and Christmas-themed culinary masterpiece.
According to John Fred Aranza, who shared the photos, this is the second time they have given their lechon this special and festive appearance. The Lechon De Pasko is not for sale. Instead, it is a labor of love prepared exclusively for their family’s Christmas celebration.
As the colorful and dotted lechon makes rounds on social media, it serves as a reminder of the joy that creativity and tradition bring to the holiday season.
