It was well marinated and the meat was very tender. This conchinillo was a show stopper. Everyone enjoyed the flavor of the meat. The instructions were very general. You have to know your oven very well. It only took an hour and a half to cook this, but I used the convection roast mode on my oven. It has to be convection to cook it fast and have crispy skin. I air it out for 30 minutes then continue cooking in 400 convection roast for another 30 minutes. I will definitely buy again.

Second time ordering because it was so simple to make in the air fryer when you’re short on time. Tastes good with a drizzle of vinegar or vinegar and soysauce. I’d say one package is good for 2 people.

Marinated pork belly no msg.
Maria JaneTran
very good!
Rerai16
Wonderful Filipino taste, sweet but not sickenly. It's just right. I prepared two different ways: out on the bbq grill and also tried oven roasted. Outdoor grill allowed me to char the edges and caramelize the meat the way I love it. Oven roasting in a foil lined shallow pan made cleanup super easy. Started at 400 then boosted to 425 to char edges. Both ways turned out super tasty, and nice and moist. I will be buying a lot more of these, keeping a stash in the freezer for a quick impressive meal.

Arrived and still frozen. Glad i ordered this one.
