Last Saturday, to satisfy Alex’s craving for pasta and pizza, we had dinner at Cafe Lidia.
I ordered the pork parmigiana (above, left), Alex had the baked penne (above, right), Speedy opted for the beef salpicao (below, left) and, for starters, we had the mozzarella sticks (below, right) and the spicy chicken wings.
My pork parmigiana was sublime. The pomodoro sauce was thick and coated the noodles wonderfully. I’ve tried Cafe Lidia’s beef salpicao before so I knew that Speedy enjoyed his. Alex had no complaints with her baked penne. The spicy chicken wings and pizza were items we’ve all had before and they were just as good as the previous times.
Pizza, pasta, chicken wings, beef salpicao and mozzarella sticks… The cost of dinner was P1,015.00. Did we finish everything? Heck, no. We brought home half of the pizza. And width=”225″ height=”150″ although Cafe Lidia serves gorgeous cakes and pastries, we were too full to order dessert. For more on Cafe Lidia, click here.

Hi Connie,
I’ve been a lurker in your fantabulous blog for about half a year now. I can’t help but put in a comment because you really fascinate me. I’m going back to school to finish my uber delayed college education. Why? Because I’ve finally decided that I really want to be a lawyer, the inspiration strangely comes from you and your logic(my Dad wants me to be one ever since). I was with with friends in Cafe Lidia last Saturday at around 6pm and it was errr sayang that I didn’t get to see you.
Please continue to be as principled and staunch as you are.
Thanks!
Gelo, please don’t forget to have fun in law school. More than anything, fun was what made law school fantabulous.
I will really try to have fun. I’m sorry that this thread turned out to have nothing to do with your dinner at cafe Lidia but thank you so much for the encouragement.
By the way, I tried your peanut butter pie with Oreo crust, Callos and Waldorf Salad for Christmas. It was a big hit with my family! It completed the whole shebang!
That’s good to know! Happy law schooling and happy cooking.
Nice to see your website…i love it…definitely i will try your recipe…It’s really a big help to all moms out there…
