Lydia's Lechon - Makati

Imagine years of  Lydia's Lechon history.  What an amazing feat considering how new restaurants nowadays are fortunate enough to last a year. The brand Lydia's Lechon is almost generic now for that beloved and iconic Pinoy dish Lechon. Ask what the best Lechon in the country is and the common answer is Lydia's Lechon.

As we were looking for meals with vegetables, we chanced upon their combo for 1 viand + 1 vegetable (165 php). I saw that they have Lumpiang Sariwa so I asked if it's included in the combo. The server said yes so we ordered that plus lechon. We also had the grilled salmon with vegetables on the side. There was a short waiting time 'coz they still re-heat the lumpia and grilled salmon. I love the Lumpia especially its sauce. I also noticed it's full of chickpeas but it's okay. Good thing that they served it hot. The lechon was just okay - there was more fat than the actual meat and the serving's quite small. Overall, I enjoyed eating here. But the branch at Landmark Trinoma is a complete opposite of this branch. They served the lumpia cold, sauce was not enough and the lechon paksiw was just full of bones and just little amount of meat.
