Enteng's Grill and Restaurant — Restaurant in Pulilan

The place is open-air (no air-con), with ample ventilation c/o ceiling fans, and it features very high ceiling -- so yes, I felt safe when I was here, let's get that front and center because, yes, safety first.

We ordered chicharong bulaklak, pares with bone marrow, and chopseuy (to make up for the first two truly deadly dishes - nearer to thee o, Lord haha). For dessert, we ordered Ka Enteng's original halo-halo.

Let's review them one-by-one:

Chicharong Bulaklak - heavenly, crispy, and the serving is generous. Paired with their spicy vinegar, this was a perfect starter. While fried, i was surprised it was not as oily, and not as salty as similar offerings in other restos.

Pares with Bone Marrow - watta genius combination! Who would've thought that they would go perfectly together?! Don't forget the sawsawan of chili oil, calamansi, and toyo. Ay, pares can never be better. Must-try talaga!

Chopseuy - an after-thought kind of order but I was surprised. Sarap niya! Slightly sweet, heavy sauce, and the liver sahog was just right. Fresh veggies perfectly done!

Halo-halo - limited-ingredient, not-so-sweet, but very rich in flavor! Minimalism pero bawi sa flavor and consistency. Generous ng toppings na leche flan.

We paid 1,300 for 2 pax and I would say it's totally worth the moolah. We will come back and sample the itik dishes naman next time. Five stars just because we...

We went in very early in the morning to have our breakfast but ended up eating more than what we intended. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. The place is very clean and quite comfortable. A little crampy on the parking space though there are no other customers but us, so not really a problem.

For breakfast, we ordered LTB -- Lugaw, Tokwa, Baboy. It is good. Nothing really special aside from the crispy fried pork. The porridge is very good. Fried tofu, your typical crispy tofu. Though quite disappointed with the vinegar for it.

The dessert. OH THE DESSERT. We had the large serving and it was a monster of a dessert! Not your ordinary halo halo. It was BIG. And almost good for 4 people to share. It's very simple with only 4 ingredients: banana, beans, leche flan, and the banana spring roll (Turon). The cream was thick and very sweet. We are very satisfied.

We ordered crispy Kare-kare and Binagoongan for take out and they are very tasty! Highly recommended!

Side note: they offer these vegetable baskets that includes variety of vegetables, brown rice, eggs, and a free recipe to cook the vegetables and I find it really fascinating. Though we did not get one.

They also sell 'pasalubong' items -- packed snacks like sweet potato chips dipped in wild honey, veggie sticks, etc.

Overall, we would love to come back! We will be looking forward to try...

The place has a spacious area for dining. It has a simple, quiet, and relaxing ambience. At the inner most area of the place is a stage built for live performances. Their wait staff are nice and accommodating. We visited on a Saturday at around 6:30 pm and ordered Crispy Kare-Kare, Crispy Pork Diniguan, and Turon Halo-Halo. Serving time was around 15 minutes for the kare-kare and dinuguan while we asked the staff to serve the halo-halo later. They also served us with free soup and water. During our visit, at around 7pm, there's a live performance by a pair of singers, which made our dining experience much better. Overall, with good food, nice ambience, chill vibe, and friendly staff, I will definitely recommend this...
