If you haven’t gone in this place, then you
might be missing the full blast of your eating experience in Sta. Barbara,
Iloilo. This restaurant, popular to almost every resident of the town, is your
quick stop to a fulfilling meal for your rumbling tummies. No wonder, the
resto’s name – Short Stop Bakery and Fastfood, fittingly speak for itelf.
The
simple pang-masa refreshment is strategically located right in a corner where
jeepneys and tricycles stop over to get or send off passengers. As a result,
many recharge their hungry systems in this very accessible food stop. The place
is spacious enough to accommodate customers. When meal time comes, the venue gets a bit rowdy as diners rush to order
their share of delicious pinoy dishes.
As
a celebration for my little cousin’s graduation, we treated her in the said
familiar eatery.She just ordered a cheeseburger and a mais con yelo, both of
which she tastefully loved. My sister had a similar order as my cousin. They
may not be that hungry because during the graduation ceremony, they had been
munching on waffles and nuts and
slurping on cheap shakes that were all sold by the food carts present in the
occasion.
Meanwhile,
the rest of us ordered La Paz batchoy which easily got me full, a plastic of
medium-sized pandesal bought from its bread shop, and bottles of
softdrinks to quench our thirst. We dined at the separate airconditioned room.
They
also sell Pansit Lomi which I think is one of its must-tries. For 95 Php, it’s
already good for you and your barkada.
Short
Stop has already been a household name in the town when it comes to food
tripping. One thing’s for sure, it has served its residents the affordable meal
that their bubbling stomachs deserve.
