altum viditur

We came from a client meeting at Rufino Avenue and we’re parked at Mile Long Building. Before going back to the office, we decided to check out a restaurant along the long corridor of the building that caught our attention. We wanted to settle a while in a quiet place to collect our thoughts and organize our notes from the meeting. We saw the interior of the restaurant and it looked cozy. We hesitated first because there seemed to be a few food choices. We decided to finally check out the menu and went inside.

A middle-aged woman warmly greeted us and I greeted her back with hello. She asked if we wanted to check out the menu. And told us to sit in the table near the window where it’s colder, then she turned the air-con on. There were rice toppings, hot plates, appetizers, salads, deserts and others in the food selection. It’s only around 3PM so we ordered corn chips with sour cream and coffee.

I asked if there’s cold coffee and the lady said they don’t have it in the menu but she’d gladly make me one. My companion ordered for cappuccino coffee. After a few minutes, the lady, seemingly frustrated, turned to us and said “The espresso machine wont work! Can I just give you brewed coffee and one iced coffee?” We agreed.

We enjoyed our simple corn chips because of the yummy sour cream dip. And when our coffee arrived, the lady said “Here’s your brewed coffee, and iced coffee on the house.” We were a bit shy but did not turn down the offer. She gave us three choices of sugar – muscovado, brown and white. She’s very accommodating and the place was really cozy. It felt like I was in Sagada. And it was like mom’s serving the drinks. The lady is Mrs. Mila Fitz. And the place is called the Hunter’s Restaurant.

I highly recommend the place for a cozy quiet relaxation time.

Hunter’s restaurant is open from Monday to Friday at 11 AM to 8 PM, and Saturday at 11 AM to 3 PM. Contact Hunter’s Restaurant through (632) 892-51-66.
