Indulge in the crispy, golden perfection of our Lechon Kawali at Couple Chef Restaurant & Catering Services. This iconic Filipino dish features deep-fried pork belly with irresistibly crackling skin and tender, flavourful meat inside — one of the most-ordered Filipino dishes on our Fife Street menu.
Lechon Kawali is a Filipino culinary treasure — pork belly that is first simmered until tender, then deep-fried to achieve that legendary golden, crackling skin. At Couple Chef, we take extra care with this dish, ensuring the pork is seasoned and slow-cooked before frying to guarantee maximum tenderness on the inside and maximum crunch on the outside.
Served with a tangy liver sauce or vinegar dipping sauce, our Lechon Kawali delivers a satisfying contrast of textures and flavours in every bite. It's a celebration dish in the Philippines, often served at fiestas and family gatherings — and at Couple Chef, we bring that same festive spirit to your table every day. Pairs perfectly with steamed rice and a side of atchara (pickled papaya).
