Chinese cuisine is so comforting. We’re so used to it that some are household dish already. Around the metro, there are so many of this to choose from. One of my favorites is Hap Chan. 

Happily enough, Lido Cocina Tsina is not far down the list.

Their serving isn't big even when tagged as ‘for sharing’. But not so much of an issue if their dishes are pleasant, which is a yes for me.

Lido Pugon Asado at Php 285 (1/4) tastes like Chinese Ham. It reminds me of Christmas. Pork quality is good, just the right amount of fatty portion. I’m not sure, but I think the sauce is made of honey.

Tastes like Chinese Ham

Sizzling Squid in Seafood Sauce at Php 285 is surprisingly yummy, too. I love its little spicy kick.

But the serving is just small

Their Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet at Php 245 is fine, too. A close match of Hap Chan’s. But the latter’s still better.

Sweet and sour is a favorite!

The Stir-fried Seasonal Vegetable at Php 185 has a very light flavor. I can even go as to say the veggies are fresh. Interestingly, it has mongo sprouts.

Eating healthy :)

Service is below average. The place can get too cramped at times, too.

I've always wanted to eat in Hap Chan especially when its new branch opened along Alabang-Zapote Rd. Blame it on the “credit cards accepted here” tag hung on its glass walls, I thought it was that expensive.

Where will you take us?

But since we have a very special brother to treat on his 19^th birthday, we tried our luck in this inviting Chinese restaurant and feasted. 

A plate of Yang Chow (Php 230) is enough for a family of 5 but since we had equally special guests with us, we had two. I didn't appreciate their Yang Chow but my siblings did.

You can never go wrong with Sweet and Sour Pork (Php 250). Its yumminess lingered even after eating a spoonful of rice. The balance of its sweet and tangy flavor is perfect! I miss it everytime I eat sweet and sour.

Sautéed Beef with Broccoli Flower (Php 240) tastes just fine although for me, it was overpowered with my love for their sweet and sour pork.

Sliced Chicken with Two-Kind Mushroom (Php 250). Went healthy with this but in a goody-goody way.

Our pahabol order Braised Chicken with Sesame Seeds in Honey Sauce (Php 300). It doesn't look that inviting. I was surprised that it’s sweet (it's the honey!) and the chicken’s tender. 

Their serving is good for two to three people. Service is quite fast. I’m excited to eat again in Hap Chan and try other dishes. Even during eating our desserts in McDo, we still kept on raving about how we loved their food. *winks*'
