After attending the burial of my grandfather's sister on April 21, 2012, pakner4lyf and I considered where to go next from Cuenca to Mataas na Kahoy. We remembered there is a newly opened restaurant in Lipa City. My brother shared his dining experience at Hermanas with their boss during his OJT training at the Commission on Audit. The place is easy to find, as it is located near the Star Toll Way Tambo Exit, just a few meters away. If you look at the above photo (left side), you can still see the Flying V Gasoline station in their window (currently, Flying V Gasoline has closed and been replaced by Jollibee).
Before everyone gets out of the car, pakner4lyf checks the restaurant first to see if dining inside with the three children is fine. We don't want problems with them breaking things inside. What's unique about the restaurant?
Hermanas is not very big, but its architectural design allows them to maximize the space. They created an attic to accommodate additional customers, and it looks fantastic. Since it's an attic, being close to the roof, diners will have to sit on mats; they also have a special chair without legs if you prefer to sit on it. I like the stones used to decorate the lamps; I love the color. Their solar lamp caught my attention - it was the blue lamp in the first photo. All in all, I love the ambiance.
It was perfect that when we arrived, they only had a few customers. They informed us that many diners came before we arrived—thank God! We chose to dine upstairs, and it felt like eating in our own home. The children enjoyed being there, and they felt free since there were no customers to bother them anyway.
We ordered Beef Caldereta, Aglio Olio with shrimp, Hermanas Delight, spaghetti and meatballs. The food was average but reasonably priced. You must try Hermanas Delight; it's the perfect summer cooler. It's their unique version of Halo-Halo, featuring two scoops of ice cream—vanilla and strawberry—along with colorful jellos and fresh fruits like banana, watermelon, and mango.
This food trip will always remind me of my lost Galaxy Pocket phone. Photos were taken using my phone, and I was glad I had automatically synced it with my Facebook account, which is why I was able to share these photos with you. I am still hoping that these were not the last photos taken using this phone. ( After a few days, I was able to find my phone; it is in good working condition. I still couldn't figure out how it came out.)
So, this is it! our Hemanas food trip experience.
