Sa Lido

Leanne May Operario

4.0

Banawe is a bustling, modern-day Chinatown filled with Chinese restaurants in almost every corner. One such example (although not specifically located in Banawe, but rather in Retiro— the street perpendicular to it) is Sa Lido.Sa Lido is the original Lido branch from Binondo that specializes in asado— Chinese-style roasted pork. Their dishes may not be extravagant and Instagrammable, but they do carry an old charm that takes me back to my childhood.🍲 Three Cup Chicken (₱310 small, ₱620 large): features an earthen pot filled with chicken that was slow-cooked in 3 sauces (hence the name 3 cup)—soy sauce, rice wine and sesame oil— along with tons of garlic and ginger as aromatics. Each bite of chicken is flavorful and savory, with some nuances of earthiness from the basil and coriander.🐷 Asado (₱270 small, ₱1,080 large): a bestseller featuring thin slices of smoky, lean pork that is more salty than sweet compared to the red asados I've tried. Comes with a sweet and sour sauce to cut across meaty flavors.🍝 Sate Chami (₱198 small, ₱420 large): stir-fried thick noodles, pork and a medley of vegetables cooked in a nutty and savory sauce. Not too salty, but tasty enough on its own.🍚 Chorizo Rice (₱215 small, ₱480 large): fried rice filled with bites of scrambled egg, spring onions and sweet-salty slices of Chinese sausage. A great accompaniment to viands like their asado.🐷 Kingdao Spareribs (₱195 small, ₱440 large): a take on sweet and sour sauce, but more on the savory side. Bites of pork were soft— both lean and fatty, which was good, but watch out for the bones.🌿 Spinach Seafood Soup (₱100 per bowl, ₱195 small, ₱430 large): a rich green soup filled with bite-sized shrimp, tofu and egg. Very subtle flavors, yet hearty nonetheless.Thanks for the invite website! ❤️👋🏻 Flatlay by Glenn Joseph | Jogpen and James Benguet

Typical Chinese grub. Ordered sweet and sour fiah fillet, broccoli with garlic, fried chicken and yang chow fried rice. Tummy filling, but still typical.
