Panciteria Lido's Pugon Roasted Asado

From Chinatown to the south of Metro.

Panciteria Lido is a famous Chinese resto in Tomas Alonzo, Sta. Cruz, Manila. It's reportedly a favorite habitue of Mayor Fred Lim. Established in 1936, this authentic Chinese restaurant serves the best commercially available pugon-roasted asado. Commercially, I say, because my mother-in-law and my wife cook the best asado I have tasted (yes, really!).

A branch just opened along President's Avenue in BF Homes Paranaque, just across the Hap Chan restaurant, another equally authentic Chinese dining place.

I tried their specialties pugon-roasted asado and pancit plus the beef with broccoli. Yes, they taste good alright. But if they are the best-tasting ever, that needs to be contested still. Then again, if you're looking for some authentic Chinese food around BF Homes, Panciteria Lido is worth trying. Just be ready to pay a steeper price versus Hap Chan, compared to the the latter's better-dining experience.
