Lechon in Cebu, adobo everywhere, and the sari-sari store

Filipino food is sweeter and more vinegar-based than its neighbors: adobo (meat braised in soy and vinegar), sinigang (sour tamarind soup), and sisig (sizzling chopped pork). Cebu's roast pig, lechon, is the country's most famous dish, and the Carcar market stalls are the pilgrimage. Halo-halo, shaved ice with sweet beans and ube, is the dessert. The sari-sari store on every corner sells single-serve everything; carry small coins. Tipping 10% is appreciated.
