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.
