Rico's Lechon Opens 5th Branch at SM Mall of Asia

Wazzup Pilipinas!

A new branch of Rico's Lechon opened last February 14, Valentine's Day. This is actually a late post since we've been travelling Western Visayas Region 6 until first week of March. But it is never to late to visit all their branches since there's more than just our all-time favorite "litsong baboy" on all their branches. You will also find several of our Pinoy  "comfort foods" that will surely satisfy your cravings. 

As what our correspondent Donna Raquiza had to say:

"It is my first time to try and taste Rico's Lechon. The spicy pork lechon is very delicous and other dishes they have liked the scallops.

I am happy they have a new branch open in SouthWing, GF, SM MOA, Pasay City."

If you know Donna, she is a real food lover and if she recommends Rico's Lechon, its bound to be truly satisfying.

Below is the official press release given during the grand opening:

Here’s another exciting and mouthwatering addition to the dazzling bay area along Seaside Avenue. Rico’s Lechon is bringing Cebu’s best lechon right in the heart of Manila as it opens its fifth store at SM Mall of Asia Complex, Level 1, South Wing, Seaside Avenue in Pasay.

What’s more satisfying than biting into the Queen City’s iconic spicy lechon as you soak up the famous Manila Bay sunset? Sharing this priceless moment—and scrumptious Cebuano fare—with all your loved ones, of course.

Following the opening of Rico’s Lechon Fort Entertainment Complex at Bonifacio Global City, Top of the Glo at Glorietta, Tiendesitas in Ortigas, and U.P. Town Center in Quezon City, this newest branch takes advantage of its beautiful location offer an ample 200-seating capacity space with al fresco dining so diners can enjoy their mealtime with a view and cool sea breeze.

But dining indoors is just as pleasant with eye-catching tropical interiors, wooden furnishings, homey touches that boast of familial atmosphere and bring to mind the quintessential Pinoy salu-salo where people’s hearts are just as full as their stomachs.

And for good reason. Besides its popular lechon, the restaurant offers a number of all-new specialty dishes to please every palate, such as the sinigang boneless bangus, sizzling chicken steak, tortang talong with lechon, fried chicken coated with homestyle sauce, and the lechon fingers with sweet and sour sauce. More shake flavors have been added as well, like mocha, cookies and cream, fruity strawberry, bloody watermelon, and sago at gulaman.

While for those looking for an afternoon fill, Rico’s Lechon is now offering a merienda selection of senior pit lechon mami, lechon arrozcaldo, lechsilog (lechon, sinangag, at itlog), diniguan at puto, and a set of dinuguan, puto, at plain rice.

Being the first Filipino brand in the roster of international restaurant brands operated by Meat Concepts Corporation, headed by George Pua, Rico’s Lechon’s Manila debut, as well as the arrival of its famed cooks and roasting team from Cebu, was met with much anticipation and lip-smacking fanfare when it first opened its double doors last August 3, 2018.

As it continues to expand in Manila, Rico’s Lechon continues to prove as “Da best gyud!” through its growing institution for many residing in Cebu, Metro Manila, and visitors from all over the world.
