Lido opened a branch steps away from our office.
Cocina Tsina literally means Chinese kitchen. But cocina is a Spanish word.
Chopsuey naman ang pangalan nila. Dapat Panciteria Lido na lang.
Baka sabihin nung may ari pakialamera ako hindi naman ako ang may ari ng kusina nila. Sige na nga. Cocina Tsina na.
On the their soft opening day, we excitedly went there for lunch.
Edmund ordered this set meal merong ply ek and a few slices of assorted cold cuts. I found the quantity of the asado, etc. lacking considering the price.
Love their fried tofu. Next time, I’ll just order a cup of fried rice plus this tofu.
Edmund ordered a cup of house tea. After taking one sip, ayaw na. Hindi daw masarap. Hindi marunong madala. Nag-order naman ng kape after his meal. Hayan, one sip, ayaw na. Hindi daw masarap.
I finished a glass of buko pandan shake. It was good. But even without the syrup, it was sweet.
Umalis na lahat ng customers, kami na lang natira kasi mali-mali yung listahan ng nakain namin. Bakit listahan lang? Eh kasi nga soft opening palang sila, wala pa daw silang resibo. Eh nung ng nagbill out kami, they just gave us a piece of paper with the amount written on it. Eh hindi pwede, dapat merong detalya para alam natin kung anu-ano ang ating kinain.
Eh di ba nga, kami binubusisi namin ang mga charges? Eh meron ngang konting mali, na kinorek supposed to be, pero mali pa rin. Inabot na kami ng tanghali, tila kalahating oras nila inaayos yung mali. We figured, how come all the other customers billed out, paid and left faster than we. Obviously, they didn’t bother to check their tabs, they just paid what was written on the piece of paper given to them without any detail.
Hayan, makulit kasi kami, inabot na kami ng alas dos nadun pa kami.
Merong konswelo, they gave us this meal coupons for our next visit.
