Yeah, that one wasn't as good as the one above it...though surprisingly, it was hard crackling...it was just like "too hard"...not sure what happened with the cook there.
The other one, seen on top and in the sliced form was God-Like. Perfection.
The dish is called Lechon and is from the Philippines, but is likely a derivative from the Spanish population who passed through, passed down into the culture.
Crispy, marinated, rolled and roasted pork belly around aromatic herbs, spices and vegetables served with a warm/acidic/spicy sauce.
Since trying this through one of the facebook marketplace people, it's become one of my favourite dishes.
I'll likely try my hand and knocking one together in my own style at some point.
