"Pork is the star of the show at this hip Filipino strip mall storefront—whether it’s ground and mixed with shrimp to stuff crackly batons of lumpia, braised and fried crisp to top rice bowls, or added to silky coconut-simmered spinach and kale laing. But the main attraction is right there in the name: lechón, glorious lechón. We’re talking rich slow-cooked pork belly redolent of heady lemongrass and ginger and crowned with mahogany shards of beyond-crunchy skin." - ByAmiel Stanek
