I've been dying to try this place hoping to recapture the fond memories of eating mouth watering lechon from Cebu and the famous steamed rice with pork and shrimp topping from Ding Hao. So last night I was in a spur of the moment mood and called to place an order to go. When I got there at 6 pm the place was totally empty, I thought uh oh I hope that's not an indication of inferior tasting food. Lechon, albeit the skin was crispy, the taste just wasn't there or I should say it's NOT what a normal lechon from Cebu tastes like. It needed more spices and I didn't detect the smell and taste of lemongrass which I think is a huge part of the flavor. The pork steamed rice wasn't good at all. It was too sweet and the texture was off. I really wanted to like this place so I'm very disappointed, but who knows maybe one day I might just try their other offerings.
