πͺ The Go-To Pasalubong Store in Lucban
If you’re looking for authentic Lucban longganisa, Eker & Ely is the place to go. I asked a few locals where to find the best pasalubong in town—and everyone pointed me in their direction.
π Located just after the native product stalls and within walking distance from Lucban Church, the shop is easy to spot and hard to miss (especially with the smell of freshly made longganisa wafting through the air!).
π§ What You’ll Find Inside
π΄ Lucban Longganisa
– The star of the show!
π¬
Kakanin & Local Sweets – Including broas, espasol, uraro, and more
π§
Queso de bola, lengua, pastillas, and peanut brittle – Great as gifts or
travel snacks
πΈ I was lucky—they
were preparing longganisa when I visited!
They kindly let me take pictures of the process (just not of them holding the
longganisa—camera shy, and I respect that!).
π§³ Travel Tip from Experience
π Timing is key!
I was still headed to Marinduque (a 9-hour trip π
), so I asked if I could
buy it later in the day. The staff, very helpful, advised I return in the
afternoon to ensure the longganisa stays fresh during my journey.
π‘
Bring an insulated bag if you're going far!
π Why You Should Buy Here
✅ Highly recommended by locals
✅
Freshly made longganisa (watch the process if you’re lucky!)
✅
Close to Lucban Church and native souvenir stalls
✅
Friendly staff who give practical travel tips
π¦ Great for taking home or sharing with friends and family after your trip!
π Location
πΊ️ You can find Eker & Ely near:
- The Lucban Church
- The native pasalubong stalls
- Within walking distance from Kamay ni Hesus (via tricycle or jeepney)
π️ Pro Tip
π Buy before you board
your bus or jeepney—but not too early if you're traveling long hours.
π₯Ά
If you’re traveling to Marinduque, ask if they can store your purchase and pack
it just before you leave.
πΈ Seeing them prepare the longganisa in front of me made me
appreciate how much effort goes into it. The aroma alone is enough to convince
you to bring a pack (or three) home.
I’ll definitely be back—and next time, I’ll time my visit better so I can stock
up without the worry of spoilage.
