the best inihaw na tenga!

countryside - inihaw na tenga
My friends have been raving about the tenga (grilled pig’s ears) in Countryside along Katipunan since college, but it was only last week that I got to try it—2:30am and the place was still bustling with customers, wowowee!!! Look at that oily goodness–that’s cholesterol straight to your thighs and heart, but well well well, sometimes, it’s just okay to be a little baaaad.

Coupled with some pork isaw (grilled pig’s intestines), this was surely one of the best post-inuman eats I’ve had in a while!

Of course I paid for it with the all-day dizzy spell the next day, but haaay sulit pa rin! :P

Countryside is on Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City. It’s on the same side of the road as Freska and is one of the last establishments before the stretch to the flyover to Ateneo and UP.

    Looking forward to go back to Countryside… Lots of good ‘food tripping’ memories there– sadly can’t remember though.. go figure! Jo– have you tried the crispy tenga version??? It’s cooked like crispy pata.. I have texture issues with the inihaw na tenga and isaw, but if done crispy, yummm!
