A hallmark of Filipino cuisine would be the Lechon de Carajay, a smoked pork roast.

The crispy skin crackles with each bite so loudly that it would make your awkward silent dinner date break out with a smile. Under the crisp skin is a moist, tender and juicy interior.

The Lechon de Carajay (S$14.80) at Calle Real is utter pork perfection as it has been painstakingly prepared and cooked for over a duration of five hours!

This meal was part of an initiative by #comeletseat, with the aim of helping foreigners and Singaporeans understand each others' cultures over the universal language - food. Thank you Calle Real, @comeletseat and @burpple for the invite!
