Lido Cocina Tsina — Restaurant in Makati

Not your typical Chinese restaurant but don't get me wrong, they still do serve good Chinese food. Normally when you say Chinese restaurant, the idea is you have lunch or dinner there; Lido's specialty is breakfast. They have soft and tasty pandesal, nice enough brewed coffee comparable to your go-to cafe, and rice meals for those people who need rice to start their day. Though I'm saying their specialty is breakfast, they still serve lunch and dinner of course and they have a lot of choices for customers too. Try out their pugon-roasted asado, which is their flagship product, good for any time of the day, with rice or pandesal. They serve it at room temperature and not freshly cooked as they let it cool down after roasting. You can have it heated before serving though but it becomes a bit dry. It's not the usual asado from Chinese restaurants because it's not smothered in sweet asado sauce, instead it's best enjoyed with just a bit of their house sauce. Another dish worth mentioning is their lumpiang shanghai which is one of the better ones I've tasted amongst...

Fried fish with eggs was tasty, especially with the fish sauce. The congee had a good consistency, and with the hot sauce provided on the table, it had a pleasant and mild flavor. Their garlic rice had the right crispy crunch to it and lots of garlic. The coffee was especially good--freshly brewed in glass containers, it was a fine cup without sugar or milk. In addition to the food, each table came with the daily paper...

All types of payments accepted here. About 3-4 cars parking space in front of the resto but lots of street parking nearby. Place opens early for breakfast and closes by 730pm Love the syphon brewed coffee here - comes free with the breakfast specials which lasts till 10am Overall, enjoyed our food experience here during the 2023 Lunar New Year. We spent P2823+ for a group of 5 with enough to take home for 1 person at home. Loved the size of the familia size for the fried rice, the meatballs soup, the camaron rebosado, the fried tofu, and the beef broccoli. The only "no" for me would be the chami special noodles- not enough 'sahog' aside from the noodles itself. Yup - I want to...
