What the creator captured
Abroad and Hungry was mesmerized by the 'savage' meat adventure in La Loma, particularly the paper-thin crispy skin and melt-in-your-mouth texture of the traditional lechon. The creator was deeply impressed by the 34-year-old tradition of charcoal-grilling offal and ranked the experience as a top ten must-do culinary ritual in the Philippines.
