Onward to Cebu

Cebu - The flight on SilkAir was a pleasant surprise with an upgrade to Business Class.  It was a full flight so maybe the reason for my upgrade.   A wider seats and more leg room was really nice.   But it was a short flight and soon the Captain announce the arrival to Cebu International Airport.  I was on the window seat and took a couple of aerial photos of Cebu.







Upon arrival met up with Donny and Lesley, and we decided to go for Lechon lunch.  Asked the Hotel for the best Lechon and was referred to Park Mall.   So, we took a taxi to that location.  This Mall is unigue within Cebu as it allows pets on special days.


We finally found our Lechon stall and it's outside the Mall.  A queue has already formed.


We ordered an original Lechon and one spicy Lechon dish; just to taste the difference.

Original Lechon
The taste of this is so delicious; the pork simply melt in your mouth.  The skin is so very crispy too.

Spicy Lechon
Rice wrapped in banana leaf
The rice is similiar to Kutupat. In Cebu it is called Puso.

Calesa around Intramuros

Manila - Together with Albert, we took a calesa (horse drawn carriage used in Philippines) around Intramuros. Albert and Lesley Albert and I Intramuros is the oldest district and historic core of Manila.  The walled part of Manila was called intramuros, which is Latin for "within the walls"; districts beyond the walls are known as extramuros meaning outside the walls.  Construction of the defensive walls was started by the Spaniards in the late 16th century to protect the city from foreign invasions.   Guarding the old city is Fortaiago wich is located at the mouth of the river.

Cheong Guk Jang - fermented bean soup

Seoul - Lunch with Youngjin was at a traditional soup restaurant and it was crowded.   Youngjin asked me many times Cheonggukjang "ok", I said ok not knowing what to expect.  I have tried many weird and smelly good in Seoul, so I was very prepared.   My first time tasting Cheonggukjang and I like it. CheongGukJang 청국장 is fermented soybean soup aka Stinky soup.  Actually, I like fermented food and the smell does not put me off.   I like fermented food because of the many health benefits and also we have them here in Singapore - tempe, belachan, fermented bean curd (which I love with my porridge), chincaluk, etc.. very hot Cheonggukjang  I always buy danjang paste and bring home to make soup.  I understand that they are the same but the difference is Cheonggukjang beans are uncrushed and are fermented for a longer period of time.
