Deep-fried crispy pork belly with perfectly seasoned crackling skin

About this Item

Lechon Kawali is a Filipino favorite featuring pork belly that's been boiled until tender, then deep-fried to achieve an incredibly crispy, golden-brown skin. The result is a perfect contrast of textures with a crunchy exterior and juicy, tender meat inside.

This dish is a celebration of Filipino culinary tradition, bringing the flavors of whole roasted pig (lechon) in a more accessible form. Each piece is carefully prepared to ensure maximum crispiness.

Traditionally served with liver sauce or vinegar dipping sauce, Lechon Kawali is a crowd-pleaser that works perfectly as a main course or shared dish for special occasions.
