Ang Sarap sa CASA RAP!

I had an opportunity to visit a secret gem in San Jose, Batangas. Casa Rap Restaurant is owned by former nun Sister Emma Alday. It's located at Km. 90 National Highway in San Jose. They serve really good yet affordable food here.

This is their signature salad. I so love it! Freshly picked from Sister Emma's own garden. So colorful, I almost didn't wanna touch it :)

Another specialty is the Halo-Halo. Casa Rap does not use ice but buko sherbet.

Still in experimental level, Sister Emma is growing her own strawberries.

This one really caught my eye. I wanna bring this home! :)

Another classic piece. This aquarium is recycled from a vehicle windshield.

Sister Emma says the restaurant is still in progress. If she has time and resources, she tries to fill up the space with more tables and chairs.

I definitely want to go back, hopefully to have a chat again with Sister Emma. :)
