We have always called it "Balai Hilom" but later on started calling it "Balai Lamon" since the food has always been superb, and everyone simply loves to eat, and eat and eat, and are mostly foodies! I have returned to Balai Hilom last April 26th, and stayed until April 29th. It was actually a triple birthday celebration for my Tita Rose, Tita Cris and Girlie Soriano. Balai Hilom's proprietor and hostess, the ever hospitable Linda Lyttle Reyes made sure everyone felt so at home and comfortable. After all, family is first and foremost! That is why she made sure that her mom Tita Cris, her aunts Tita Rose, Tita Charito, Tita Lally, who happens to be my mom, my cousin Sarci Rabat and her sister Malutch, and our family friend Girlie Soriano all had a pleasant stay. My other cousin Pepito Albert and his loving brother Sito followed the day after. It was such a pleasant and enjoyable stay, and there will definitely be a part ii soon. And one more creature added color, my long lost friend Leo Espinosa, who also has a lovely beach house in Matuod.
