Located along the Pulilan Regional Road in Barangay Cut-cot in Pulilan, this is right in the middle of the municipality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Ikalawa<\/em>, the resto is actually divided into three parts: one side is for those with reservations, another part is for walk-in diners, and another part is for events. If\/when the resto isn\u2019t full, only the main part (middle one) is kept open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, this isn\u2019t some fancy resto. More like an airconditioned <em>karinderya<\/em>, complete with wooden tables and plastic chairs. Look-wise, it wasn\u2019t dirty <em>naman <\/em>when we were there, so that\u2019s a plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Ikatlo<\/em>, the workers were friendly <em>naman<\/em>\u2026 and they moved fast \u2013 e.g. while waiting for our orders, we were given must-check peanuts, and since we finished what we got fast, our waitress was more than happy to accommodate us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Ika-apat<\/em>, now\u2026 how was the food?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The house specialty, the Lee Foo Chicken (\u20b1265 for half, \u20b1495 for whole), looked like fried chicken with ketchup. Okay\u2026 the breading was okay since it didn\u2019t overpower the meat. The chicken, too, was properly cooked, and it wasn\u2019t dry. But it was tasteless overall; so the ketchup taste is what stays with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pancit Canton Bihon (\u20b1255) had thin <em>pancit<\/em> noodles, almost as thin as the <em>bihon<\/em>. It didn\u2019t have lots of <em>sahog<\/em>; instead, you\u2019d notice the extenders (like <em>kikiam<\/em>, and so on). I like good <em>pancit<\/em>, I swear\u2026 but this isn\u2019t one of them, sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The weirdly-wrapped Hakaw (\u20b1155) was small, so it was <em>bitin<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then there\u2019s the Siomai Steam (\u20b1155), which was, in a word, weird. The size was good, similar to those \u20b110 <em>siomais<\/em>. But the way this was prepared was weird for us \u2013 e.g. like the meat was overwatered, and having a hard time staying solid, so that it was smudgy, and disintegrated in the mouth even without chewing. I suppose that, at least, it wasn\u2019t disgusting taste-wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lee Foo Panciteria Pulilan is, we believe, popular. Like President in Chinatown, or a branch of David\u2019s in some mall. To each his or her own <em>nga naman<\/em>. But for us, we\u2019re off to look for other Chinese restos <em>na muna<\/em> as we head out in search of more <em>lafangan<\/em> venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Lee Foo Panciteria Pulilan is located at 159 Barangay Cut-cot, Pulilan, 3005 Bulacan Province.
