Roasted Baby lamb raised in Negros Oriental
I was enjoying the organic lamb burger cooked by Chef Enting Labotan at the Visayas regional lunch with these guys only to find out they are the ones behind this delicious lamb!!! They now raise lamb ( Fr Australia) in Negros Occidental! It was Organic lamb ( 3 months Old) grass fed ( not feeds) Its a livelihood project by the government and now they have 10,000 lambs since they started in 2010. Thank you Negros Governor Alfredo Maranon! Thank you Ramon Uy – President of Organic Association of Negros. In photo also are Miller Serondo – with 4 farms in Sagay. Salvador Escalante with 10 satellite farms in Cadiz. They are now working on Peking Duck. They are looking for a good chef to cook it! I told them there’s many!!! 🙂 Governor says the best balut is Peking duck balut and he also boasted to me that Negros is the organic capital of the Philippines!
