The holidays made me feel excited but at the same time slowed me down on my blog. I got busy contemplating on how time flies so fast. It was some months ago when I was pulling the days so I finish the year 2o09. I just thought this year was kind of difficult that I want to be the first to get to 2010 (lol). I might just have a great one next year.
Again, Filipinos were so awfully hungry even with those tons and tons of food served. And I was not wrong, Lechon was forever the darling of the show!
It is funny that whenever I sell my chocolates de cielo (my pure dark chocolates), there are some who could comment about keeping away from chocolates because of its calories and its effect to their blood pressure.
So I really want to post the calories we normally get from a lechon and compare it to the dark chocolates. And see which is better for our body:
LECHON
Roast pork dishes contain more than 50 percent of fat which is almost 200 calories for a serving of 85-90 grams; lechon kawali contains twice the calories. So just imagine the total calories in one meal if you binge on pork dishes.
