TheSweetestAngel @ Lugang Cafe (Mall of Asia)

Me and my office mates were supposed to try Caffe Bene inside SMX in Mall of Asia, however to our surprised, they're closed and no one knew why!

So we ended up at Lugang Cafe which is just a few minutes away from SMX. Lugang Cafe is a Shanghai based Bellagio restaurant.  Ever since the restaurant had been opened, I always find myself giving it a second look, because the place looks intimidating and would make you think that it is a fine dining restaurant. The restaurant is stylish and quite hip because it's not the usual Chinese restaurant that we all are used at. They also have private rooms for small functions.

I was only able to shot this lovely bird cage lights and fell in love with it.
 

We only ordered few because some of the prices were a bit pricey. The serving can serve up to two persons. The menu is quite impressive too, every dish has pictures and would really entice you to drool over foods.

This is my personal favorite.

Sweet and Sour Pork : I like how the crunchiness of the pork when it was fried were maintained. I have tasted quite a lot of this dish with different restaurants but this is quite different. The sauce were glossy and just my kind of consistency. The pineapple used weren't too overpowering.

Spicy Clams : This one could have been a favorite. Apparently, not all the clams were cooked well. I must say, the sauce as usual is great but it did not live up to its name, it wasn't that spicy. I have a low tolerance for spiciness, so I asked my friend who was with me then and she said, it's only minimum to cater to everyone I guess.

We had Golden Fried Rice with shredded pork for rice meal. I wasn't able to take pictures of it because we were all hungry then. It has cucumber to have a twist from the regular fried rice I'm used at.

In between, I ordered  Tapioca Pearl Bubble Milk Tea. I'm not really a milk tea person, but whenever I order one, I see to it, that I will enjoy it. This one is pure heaven! It doesn't have a bitter after taste which made oh so fine. (^_^)

And for our dessert, Mango Custard!!! In as much as I love Chicken, mangoes are my favorite too. So we tried this Custard and it was creamy although a bit bland for those who doesn't like sweets that much.

All in all, we enjoyed our experience at Lugang Cafe. The extensive array of desserts! Definitely one of the best ambiances we've been to.

We were only three and we only paid roughly 470Php / pax.


Happy Eating! ♥
