📍Hunting Ground located at Purok 1 Combado Bacong Negros Oriental
We’ve passed by Hunting Ground along the Bacong road countless times and we always noticed that only a few people dine there. Out of curiosity, we finally decided to stop by and we’re glad we did. The place is managed by a lovely couple: the husband is the chef, while the wife handles the counter and takes orders. At night, the ambiance becomes cozy and inviting, with billiard tables and darts adding to the relaxed, hangout vibe.
Since we were only in the mood for a light dinner, we ordered:
Beef Pares with Garlic Rice
Dinakdakan
Chicharong Bulaklak (Ginabot) — one of their specials
Beef Pares (Gem's First time)
Light yet flavorful! The beef is tender, and the broth is comforting without being too rich — perfect if you want something warm and refreshing. Gem definitely enjoyed this one (and me who loves soupy dishes. Reminiscent of Manila food street)
Dinakdakan
Hands down the best dinakdakan I’ve ever tasted. They use tender pork meat with fresh vegetables, giving the dish a clean, balanced flavor. Nothing is overpowering and the dinakdakan also has this refreshing salad-y taste.. A definite must-try.
Chicharong Bulaklak with Sukang Tuba
Crispy, crunchy, and perfect when paired with vinegar. Simple but satisfying.
What surprised us most? How affordable everything is. For the quality of food they serve, this place is an absolute steal. They definitely deserve more attention. We believe that boosting their social media presence could help them reach more customers.
Overall, Hunting Ground is a hidden gem in Bacong. Delicious food, friendly owners, a cozy atmosphere, and sulit prices. We’re really glad we finally gave it a try and we’ll surely be coming back!
We're coming back for Part 2: Sisig.
