Sonny, it’s not the same to compare Cochinillo to an adult pig lechon. You should compare that Cochinillo from Spain with Philippines Lechon de Leche (young pig) from Cebu. Now, that’s the equal and fair matchup!
True
Agree...this is unfair
Marvin Agustin is serving a cochinillo/ letchon de leche in his restaurant
I think he's not aware that we also have conchinillo
@@InsiJuice cochinillo in Spain is better than cochinillo here bc they were original, our cochinillo here came from Spain but the one who cook their cochinillo there is a Filipino that came from the Philippines.🤣
Spanish and Filipino dishes are so much alike. You're correct in comparing the cochinillo feet with crispy pata. The other Spanish dish made from internal organs can also be compared to the Filipino dish Gotong Batangas.
People forget, spain has always been the original when it comes to filipino dishes. Balut, pancit or any noodle dishes came from the Chinese. The REAL filipino food are only rice cakes before the colonization.
@@oneyedthing ONLY rice cakes? are you insulting the intelligence of not only Filipinos but all of human beings? the Philippines is a tropical country with lots of diverse resources from crops, meats, seafoods, fruits and vegs and much more. do you really think they only know rice cakes? besides, rice cakes MAYBE influenced by other Asian countries. which is already visiting the Philippines thru trade routes. so we are already have other influences even before Spain colonize the Philippines.
@@oneyedthing Yup, that's what colonization does to a country. Until now, there's no real identity of what 'Filipino cuisine' is, unlike Italian/Japanese/Chinese cuisines which have there own identities. That's according to the late Anthony Bourdain. But I think I have to disagree with 'only rice cakes' :D
Lol the Callos is also a trade mark Filipino dish. Parehong laman loob ng baka pero walang similarity ang lasa sa goto napakalayo😂
@@renzfernandez4523 dude, gotong Batangas sinasabi ko? Alam mo ba yun? Sa lasa syempre magkaiba, pero parehong soup-based dish na lamang loob ang gamit. Gotong pang lagnat lang ata alam mo, kung maka lol :p
The fact that the chef in Spain is a Filipino, you know who’s the real winner😊
Man shut up Spain won and not Philippines
Spain ??
@@Legosabotaje yap spain
That is not. Let us just be realistic ..Filipino are way much cheaper compare to those locals...plus this guy do not have a lot of choices.
@@Legosabotaje Spain, the country that colonized the Philippines for over 300 years and treated us Filipinos like dirt. The day our ancestors finally drove them out was the day the Philippines won.
One thing I've learned as a chef. It's not the recipe that makes the food taste good or bad. It's the one that cooks it. The timing, the care, the preparation and everything in between.
This is fccckn true
That's why cuisines like Italian or Japanese dominate globally despite being fairly simplistic in their recipes.
its both
Never had lechon in Spain. Had lechon in the Philippines many times. OMFG it's a must-have food if you ever visit there. No, seriously. Try it. The best lechon in the country is in Cebu City, IMO. Ironic that the Spanish restaurant has a Filipino doing the lechon... Much love and respect to the Philippines! Much love and respect to Spain!
LOL sonny has been to Cebu and tried Cebu Lechon and tried different lechon in the Philippines.
@@jeremy3882 Yep I've been following his channel since the days when he used to jump out from behind things to start his video. He's also had alligator lechon (in Davao City I think) which I have yet to taste, but someday I will.
The best lechón is in hidalgo mexico
I agree ...Cebu has the best lechon in the Philippines ....no doubt
Viva Espana, mabuhay ang Pilipinas! Food brings all cultures together..
I’m from Puerto Rico and I 100% believe our lechon can give them a run for their money. I won’t discredit Spanish nor Filipino cuisine, i love Spanish Paella and Filipino adobo, so good man.
Just watched Strictly Dumpling's Puerto Rico lechon video. Man, it's amazing. I think it's good..
Agreed! Love Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 prayers for you guys 🙏🏼
Bueno yo fui a España y te digo que comí el cochinillo y cerdo de ellos y para nada nos llega a los tobillos a nosotros los puertorriqueños, estuve a punto de decirles si querían la receta de nosotros pero me limité ya que son bastante serios jajaja
Ours is the best bruh. sarreh
The lechon in Luzon, Philippines is nothing compared to the Negros Island and Cebu Island, Philippines Lechon.
No matter what country it is as long as the food is cooked right and perfect it's the best 🤤 All food lovers out there agrees🙌
As Spanish I love Philippine ppl keep up that tradition. Just to point out the difference: in Segovia (best place where chorizos are coming from, Cantimpalos) is roasted the best lechón too. Is so well cooked that can be cut with the dish's edge by the Cook. Have it with the traditional rustic bread, the well known Rioja wine (coming from that region too) and have a nice "ponche segoviano" as pudding. You defo won't regret it and will remember. Then visit the castle or "la granja" (Royal Palace) and you will have the best day ever visiting Segovia 👍
So, that's what La Garaja means :D lol good to know
@@prophetgoogle7071 lmao "la granja" means "the farm" it's just the colloquial name for the royal palace i guess
@@Ambitwine I see..
@@prophetgoogle7071 we all make mistakes 😅
candido !
crazy how theres a filipino chef, spain is very serious about their food, and they cant hire an actual spain chef to represent this culture. Im happy that food culture isnt just a bubble anymore and other ethnicities can represent others food culture because of their love for food and food culture. Hopefully this chef passses on his secret and techniques to the next generation to keep this tradition alive in spain.
Theres heaps of filos working all over spain, both countries are historically connected..
phily chef are cheap in Spain ..If botin hired Spanish Chef salary are higher
I'm sad you think like that, Spain's culture is a mix of other cultures (Roman, Arabic, American and also Philippine...) Is not about the ethnicity, it is about making great unic things together.
@@realZxAdri yes but not american. The op is confused about culture and ethnicity, theres nothing crazy about a non spanish guy working in a spanish kitchen.
I've had lechon in many places in the Philippines including Cebu. I've also had lechon in Spain, cooked by Basque chefs, Andalusian chefs and chefs from Valencia. Spanish lechon is better. But it might be due to their using suckling pigs rather than the full grown animal. But Spain hands down.
I could have been your special guest for this episode! 😂 Really enjoy this video in Madrid, i'm glad you had a great time and proud of my city. Greetings from Spain 👍
There is a Filipino tomato based dish also called Callos - it is very similar to the Madrilena but only tripe is used. It is cooked with chorizo de bilbao, black olives, red/green bellpeppers and chickpeas.
I already tried all of them since my work requires me to travel most of the time. I'm maybe biased but they tasted the same for me. What makes it special is the sauce and I love the Filipino lechon liver sauce 🤤
*Goes to Spain to eat Spanish Lechon* *The chef of the spanish restaurant is still a Filipino*
Yeah but spanish recipe.
a lot of Filipinos work in restaurants in Madrid.
The word lechon is a misnomer used in Filipino cuisine. P due to colonial lexicon. The method of roasted pig ( BABOY) in the Philippines was not invented by the Spanish. Pig is called (Baboy)in tagalog and called BABI in IndoMalay. The technique of Roast pig (BABOY) in the Philippines is more similar to Indonesia. (BABI) not Spain. Chinese IndoMalay ancestors have been in the Phillippines more than 600 years prior to Spain.
@@quamaniansun5055 proud colonized
@@quamaniansun5055 and yet you used a spanish name to call the dish
No worries Sonny, eventhough you picked the one from Spain, a Filipino masonry oven master cooked it. Win win situation.
What if it's not a Filipino? Is it a win lose situation?
it's not about who cooks, it's about which country's version of lechon is better
Sending love from Philippines 🇵🇭 to Spain 🇪🇸
Gracias! De Filipinas 🇵🇭
Proud colonized
@@playplayofficial3480 💩💩💩💩
i have never heard of spain lechon, but i know philippines is highly known for theirs ! love filipino food
Seriously. Never had any idea the Philippines had their own version. Very interesting tbough
@@martymiguel4496 FIlipinos also have their own variety of Paella, Picadillo, Menudo and Tocino.
@@suiken3149 include the chorizos
There is no competition really. The original has it's own characteristics and so is the adapted recipe. Of course our Philippine lechon has it's own quirks.
Yah but there's no excuses that cochinillo is far more delicious than regular old pig lechon???im not compering the two but chochinillo is far more tender than lechon???still they are both delicious
Because they are really suckling pigs not like in the Philippines where we roast our lechon medium-sized pig but I feel that Filipino Lechon are tastier, especially the Cebu's way of roasting Lechon because of the herbs and spices put inside it and the flavour from those spices and meat as well will remain in every part of the pig's meat because it is roasted whole to not let lose the flavour inside it!.🤠
Not really. In Philippines they misused the word as the lechón pig is a small suckling pig. Not the 40kg used. Different tastes
answer: BAIRRADA, PORTUGAL.
Philippines also has a version of suckling pig called lechon de leche
As a Filipino who now lives in Europe & traveled in Spain, I agréé with Sonny. Cochinillo is more flavorful & savory than Philippine lechon. But in terms of other Pinoy foods, my French in-laws said Pinoy beef caldereta is more delicious than boeuf bourguignon. And thé Pinoy paella in Boracay for my French husband, is thé best paella he's ever tasted. (Better than thé paella in Barcelona or Madrid).
Such a f@€%&^ traitor
not really
Cochinillo is what we called lechon de leche in the Philippines. Maybe baby pigs have different taste and texture compared to an adult one.
They look both delicious but I think the best lechon in the worl is in the Philippines because of the best ingredients they have.
To be fair, both Barcelona and madrid are bad places to have paella...
It is kinda funny that this is Spain vs The Philippines, when the cook of that Spaniard restaurant is Filipino. :)
Filipino is the slave🤣😅
@@glideslopRM and the Filipino is the one who make the business of Spanish grow
😂😂😂agree
Hehehee
Haha, he was put on the spot! 😀 Nice comparison of the lechon! We've been wondering ourselves how does our filipino lechon compare to other roasted pig. Well done!
It's all good Sonny, I always admire your honest reviews and that's why you are one of the best food critics out there! no sugar coating, no bs, just plain honest reviews! Looking forward for more Food Wars content.
I liked the video before watching because everything you and the crew do is awesomeness.
Philippines also cook the same kind of lechon aside from the traditional one. They cut the cooked pig here with the edge of a plate to emphasize it's crunchiness and doneness of the lechon...they also called it cochinillo....
Come back to the Philippines and try the lechon de leche 😋😋😋
lechon de leche is literal a spanish word
I've had lechon in Puerto Rico, and the preparation method is similar to the Philippines - the pig is adult, the animal is roasted over a rotisserie and regularly basted with coconut water to crisp up the skin and give it a sweet flavour, and then it's chopped up and the customers can choose which parts they want. It was the best pork I've ever had. The shoulder, snout and ears were my favourite parts. The cooking method seems much more indigenous than European, so I'm guessing Puerto Ricans were roasting pigs over open flames long before the first Europeans reached the island.
Boricua methos is different and not called Lechon but i like this comment 💪🏾💯🇵🇷
Where did they get the pigs from?
@@jrpapi5 The restaurants that serve it are called lechonerias. There are some great ones in the hills near Cayey.
@@janellek21 *lechoneras NOT lechonerias lol

This is JUST soooo interesting! Had never seen something alike… also, I’ll try Secret Food Tours, they seem good! 😮
Dude...I started watching your channel a few years back ... initially I thought you were a Anthony Bourdain wannabe, but as time progressed, you came into your own Mold... your own essence.... Success has found you.... Congratulations....😊
That down there jail joke, keep in or keep out had me lol!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤
Would love to do a comparison like this! Both looked great.
Deja vu?
Reupload...
So glad You visited my country! Even more when Its Madrid, where Im from, so You can appreciate "callos" (one of my favourite dishes around the world). Hope to see more, or see You again in Spain!!! :)
So funny how Marc was just there not long ago and I enjoyed his review, and now you gave me a different look at the place and now I REALLY must go there! Ps: Why do you guys have to compare? I’ve found fantastic lechón in Cebu, DR and PR. They may be similar but the tastes are completely different and I loved that!
I look forward to these! Bravo to the crew!
Here is the full video that explain kzhead.info/sun/na-fgtKrr6x9m4GU/bejne.html
My son [RIP] traveled extensively in Europe for business. In his opinion, Spain had the best food hands down.
Totally agree. Spanish food is so incredibly varied and to die for.
If Spain's cochinillo tastes better, it's always good to be honest, and I am not going to be offended or disappointed. That's how it should be for a food review. Love the vid! Liked the vid! Good job, buddy!
no comparison the one in spain is a young pig
Chinese-Filipino here. You made me really hungry. Now I have another thing to add to my bucket list. Sobrino de Botin, Madrid. Thanks for the video. 👍🏽
Chinese filipino opinion dont count
@@playplayofficial3480 Your opinion is the only one that doesn't count.
@@playplayofficial3480 And who are you to tell anyone that their opinions don't count? 💩 You're just some random payaso troll. 🤡
I'll ship you some nature spring bottle with vinegar, chillies and onions young master!😂
HAHAHAHAHHA hayp
HAHAHAHAHHA gagi
The Chef himself is a Filipino cooking in Spain, so it's still a Filipino made lechon. 😅
Its a spanish pic so no
👍👍👍
Hop over to Portugal and try Leitão à Bairrada. Similar thing, but with a peppery sauce that is otherworldly good IMO. Highly recommended.
I tried Lechon in portugal & spain, very similar taste.. however in Barcelona I tried Lechon on Lamb.. that was soo amazing
Hi Sonny, would love to see you guys try eating at "Spiral Buffet" here in the Philippines, Mark Wiens even mentioned that its by far the best Buffet restaurant for him.
Spiral lost its glory, solaire fresh buffet is better as of now
He he
Wasn't this released a few days before? What happened to the original one? Just curious.
I was also wondering....i´ve seen this 🤔
kzhead.info/sun/ndWfmt1smpmdnoU/bejne.html
I hope sonny goes to other Hispanic countries and compare different versions of food from the same colony . like flans from Mexico and PH and polvorones, and more.
Lechon de leche (or baby lechon) has better taste than regular lechon in the PH... more expensive per kilo but taste better.
“Lechon" literally comes from the word "leche" (milk). It's supposed to be a baby pig. So "lechon de leche" just sounds redundant...
Not ruined by the harsh reality of life 😁 Maybe the preparation is different but we do have something similar it's called lechon de leche 😊
Whenever Sonny uploads a new food video, he always gets my taste buds going! Knock it off, Sonny! ☺️
Do you live in a rock? This is a reupload
@@leoncraftmc You don't seem to understand English. My comment is being stated in a broad "general" sense. In case you don't understand, I'll explain to help your intelligence. I said, "Whenever Sonny uploads a NEW food video..." And also your English is poor too. You don't say "Do you live 'in' a rock?" it's "Do you live 'under' a rock?" And since it seems like you're just a troll 🧌, I won't be wasting any more comments with you! Many people here don't like trolls like you.
You should have go to Portugal and try the Leitão à Bairrada to taste the best "Lechon" :)
Yep

Thank you for the update, at least now I know what happened, I thought I was having a Mandala Effect going on 🤔🤣 Thanks again dam 👍
Sunny you have to go to Puerto Rico. So for what i have seen Philippino lechon and puertorican are really similar. Is the tropical flavor.
I'm so proud of this guy!
No matter how tough the competition is food always is the best peacemaker 😊😊
Hey Sonny I do enjoy all your videos you are so funny and have such great humor. Please come to Trinidad and Tobago in the near future👍💯
I will have to try both until I decide!
Wow that wine cellar is spectacular I'm amazed they allowed you to even video that to be honest.
awesome content. thank you for sharing. have a nice day!❤👍
i know in the philippines that we call the smaller one "lechon de leche" which is a literal translation lol.
Nah it's still cochinillo
@@doeweeyah1236 no it's not, lechon is when is still drinking milk from it's mother, cochinillo is when they stop doing so
Cochinillo style lechon did come from Spain, so points to them for that!
It’s awesome that you are willing to try anything, even more awesome that you actually like it. Do you have a compilation video similar to Mark Weins of foods you weren’t so fond of?
Always love your honesty Sonny! I’m a Filipino and a huge fan!
As long as its lechon, it will be a tasty treat for me ❤
Been 5 years in the Philippines, know this national delicatess. Kumusta ka kababayan? Mabuti?
have tried this resto many years ago out of curiosity. there is also a cuchinillo place in barcelona located in the exaimple area.
Is the chef in Spain Filipino? Hehe Philippines still wins! Hehehehe Come to Cebu, the lechon capital of the Philippines!!! We have also a young lechon we call lechon de leche…😋😋😋
He went there already... lol
Im sure he didnt taste our lechon de leche yet coz his comment was not about the young lechon but the “mature” one. He also showed the big mature lechon in the Philippines, and not even a picture of our lechon de leche. But tis okay; it’s already an honor to have a Filipino Chef for a Spanish version of our lechon de leche in the Philippines. Salamat po.😋🥰💕❤️
@@rosylinhortelano6411 the original taste better
I assume since the piglet is a lot smaller, cooking time would be shorter and shorter cooking time would be optimal for the pig skin. Eating that without some dipping sauce feels not right though.
I miss lechon.. Thanks sonny for this video!! And im always watching your vlog.. Proud to be Filipino🇵🇭
Whatever
I have been to this restaurant. It's absolutely worth it 👌 Suckling pig and the flan were the best I've had. Staff were very friendly and allowed me to photgraph the oven and roasting pigs.
I’m Filipina and been To Spain several times I can honestly say the best Lechon is actually in Bali. Babi Guling boots on lechon. The herbs, lemongrass etc stuffed inside crispy kulit (chicharon) and the accompaniments of lawar, sup daging or the sauce. Best lechon I’ve ever had. If you go to Bali try Warung Pak Dodot in NW Bali or Warung Pak Dobil se Bali Nusa Dua. Soooo delicious 🤤
Not by a mile. You're indonesian for sure
And you've never been in Cebu Philippines!
@@rudy9670 actually I’ve been 3 times. Cebuano lechon is great and closest to Balinese Babi Guling but yeah it’s just more delicious in Bali. Perhaps I will need to sample your suggestions for where to eat when I next return to Cebu. 😊
@@CruzR1111 not really. Ive been there several times and it's not even close to cebu lechon.
@@HunterPh you’ve been to Bali several times you mean? Then check out those Warungs from my original comment next time and please let me know where you think is best to go in Phil’s. Food is subjective and I’m open to suggestions for where to try as I obviously haven’t been to every place that specialises in Lechon in Phil’s. I’ve just had a lot of very average lechon in Philippines and in Australia. Though my favourite lechon in Australia is Sydney Cebu archon.
i'm so confused right now is this a re-upload what's wrong with the other video??
I am either having the biggest deja vu in my life or this video is reuploaded, because I’ve seen this video already, I literally knew what was going to happen before I saw the video.
Title should be Filipino is the Lechon Master! lol
Looked amazing but was so hoping that it would come with a side of that reduction for dipping!
Didn't you guys upload this before ?
I think that really depends on your taste bud. As a Filipino, I don't think I would like to eat lechon without any sauce. Filipinos are very fond of sauce and dippings. I'd still go for a Filipino lechon.
Nah. In visayas and mindanao, we eat lechon without sauce. We can eat them out straight out of the tray
@@kurt6550 Well, I'm from the Visayas and I know a lot of people who don't want to eat lechon without the sauce. As I said, it depends on people's taste buds. 😆😂🤣
We liked to watch your blog 👍keep on providing updates always watching from Texas👌
Your videos bring joy into my life ❤ LOVE YA!
Go to Portugal and try Leitão à Bairrada
The best EVER
We call that Lechon de Leche here in the PH and its prepared similarly. You'll find them at some fancy karaoke resto-bars in Davao. By the way, we forgive our lechonero compadre with you as we know he only wants to keep his job.
I don't know about the Philippine version but between the Spanish and the Portuguese approach on suckling pig the Portuguese would win it. I would like to see Sonny trying our food one day. Love this show! Cheers!
I prefer cochinillo more than lechon. We also have cochi here in the Philippines 😂 we cut it using plate because the skin is crunchy and the meat is so soft.
In Spain the most tradicional is cut with the plate too, jaja
Proud colonized
Even as a Filipino, I will say that proper Spanish Cochinillo is divine.
Exactly! COCHINILLO not lechon
Very hard to choose between them, however, we from Secret Food Tours truly loved working with you and are so glad to do that again asap! Our locals are all over the globe, indeed: See you Soon! =)
Not for nothing, but the best lechón it's cooked in Puerto Rico. You should go there and try it. All the islands in the Caribbean have their own way of cooking pork, but that Puerto Rican lechón, it's exquisite!
theres a lot of lechon style in the philippines, the best lechon i eat is a WILD PIG Lechon in Mindanao
has this been reuploaded? i feel like ive watched this already. oh but who cares? still gonna watch it
I guess so too lol
Felicidades por tan buen vídeo 🎉❤
Lechon Rabbit, Crocodile Lechon, Pork Lechon, Chicken Lechon, There's different Lechon in the Philippines and many kinds of Spices and herbs in the secrets of Lechon, Philippines is the Best and Special Lechon in the World One if the Province in the Philippines Celebrating Lechon Festival, in Balayan ,Batangas.
i love callos, we do have Philippine version of callos ♥️
I'm from Mexico but my man, you should go to Puerto Rico & try their lechon as well as morcilla (Blood Sausage), it is to die for!
Gonna try it out when I visit!! Sounds delicious 🤤
My guy have you tried the Filipino version of the Cochinillo? Cochinillo is very different from those huge lechons that you got to eat when you were here.
I’ve been to that place, it was amazing! The pig was amazing, also have other amazing dishes ❤
It would be hard to beat a cochinillo asado from Spain. Along pulpo a la Gallega, boquerones en vinagre and jamón Ibérico. My absolute favourite food in the world. Spanish food is from another planet.
Wow este si es el autentico Lechón asado!
I haven't seen any other country like Spain who cares on food served for people. they are super clean and cooked with maximum care to it..
Hands down nobodys ever turned down Filipino Lechon period its roasted to perfection and not overly salty like in some latin countries. In other words it's not hard like a rock where you would break a tooth like in PR or DR plus ours stay succulent and juicy
I want a plate of lechon for my last meal but I also hope I’ll be old and toothless so I’ll have to gum it throughout the day
Here is the full video that explain kzhead.info/sun/na-fgtKrr6x9m4E/bejne.html
My dawg, I’m 20 years old & mexican , grinding hard to get out the hood, I can’t be 30 with nothing to show for so i smoke weed on my youtube channel 😮😮
Re-up ?
On what? Weed? Coke? Molly?
My grandfa is a spaniard. It was the spanish who introduces the LECHON DE LECHE, caldereta,fried chicken etc.
Opens at 1pm? When I visited Mallorca all the shops were closed at 1pm because of the siesta time. I never got to visit the mainland
Even in the Philippines each region has their own flavor profile of lechón. They say Cebu lechón is the best but I beg to differ. I find Cebu lechón has too much spices which makes it taste like longanissa. I prefer our local lechón which only has lemongrass banana leaf and few spices with calamansi, where you can still taste the flavor of pork with a light fragrance of lemongrass and banana leaf.
True. I prefer ilonggo lechon with lemongrass, tamarind leaves, black pepper and other spices
How is banana leaf incorporated into the recipe ? As far as I know banana leaf is inedible.
@@brandonpinto5290 stuffed inside the pig. You don't eat the banana leaf it's there for flavor and aroma and to give the pig structure like a plush toy. Banana leaf is usual used like a natural non stick baking paper or foil. In the Philippines it is commonly used to wrap around fish for the grill or wrap sticky rice before steaming similar to how Mexicans use corn husk to wrap tamales.
@@studentdeljuego oh okay. Thank you for that titbit.
