Underwhelming Lechon — expected more

I was looking forward to Lechon here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The subtly sweet and sour character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with calamansi lime or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

kamayan feasts eaten with hands from banana leaves are experiencing a cultural revival. The a Manila restaurant abroad setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. sago't gulaman drink was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
