Lydia's Lechon

4.0

So how do I rate a full blown restaurant versus a food stall? Well I rate them based on their own categories. This stall does merit a 4.0 for its very tasty yet affordable dishes. It was a surprise as my expectations were low. It's good you can have their Lechon Paksiw and your choice of vegetable viand together in a meal. This fits my objective all the time when eating solo- smallest sizes, more variety. The combination was only Php 165 with free iced tea. The Lechon Paksiw was amazing. It was really soft and its flavors penetrated well to the meat. Not too sweet nor salty. Probably one of the best I've tried. The Pinakbet on the hand was also special. The alamang was not too mighty and somehow married well with the lechon. Must try!

Giving it a poor rating due to food quality. I ordered half kilo of their lechon and brought it back to the hotel (which is just a 5 minute walk away from the mall) so me and my friend have something to eat the next day. Unfortunately, even though we put it in the fridge, the food got spoiled and we realized it only after heating it because emitted a strong sour smell which spread in our hotel room. All the while we thought they don't recycle their Lechon since the skin will lose the crisp but we were wrong. Never trusting this branch of Lydia's anymore.

Situated at the foodcourt of SM Megamall,so ambiance rating is not applicable.Let's rate this via food ,service and price.Was craving for something simple and Pinoy,ordered their combo of rice,lechon and pinakbet with iced tea for Php165.Thats affordable complete meal,lechon was nice with some crispy skin,delicious sauce .The pinakbet would be better if it was not packed with much okra but the sauce was good .The rice that came with it was not that premium yet not nice cooked.Its still good alternative if you want to have a complete yet at an affordable price.Decent for the price.
