CEBU, Philippines — When it comes to celebrations, Sinulog is definitely one for the books. As the country’s grandest festival, it draws in a lot of people from all over the Philippines and the world to Cebu.
In the midst of all the religious festivities and the street parties, celebrate Cebu’s delectable cuisine in Hukad, where it’s always a feast—perfect for all your balikbayan relatives and friends who are in town for Sinulog.
Make every meal a fiesta with the Golden Palabok, rice noodles with shrimp sauce topped with crispy smoked bangus, pork chicharron, and hard-boiled egg. For something more filling, order the Seafood Kare-Kare—sautéed mixed seafood and vegetables in creamy peanut butter sauce; or the classic Crispy Whole Fried Chicken, which is always a crowd-pleaser.
No celebration is complete without lechon. At Hukad, those who haven’t been in Cebu for a while will delight in some Lechon Paksiw, choice cuts of lechon belly cooked in vinegar and soy sauce. As one of the traditional ways of serving lechon, it’s sure to evoke some nostalgia. Another take on this delicacy is the Lechon Sisig, or fried lechon belly sautéed in aromatic spices. This makes for a great appetizer or beer match.
