Apartment 1B

Tucked away in one of Makati's side streets is a place called Apartment 1B. Been wanting to dine here for the longest time and only had the chance to have lunch here 3 months ago. It was a rainy day so we had to have reservations because this places gets easily packed especially during lunch hour. The place itself is really homey. With simple dining tables and chairs for eager beavers like us. It has a second floor btw, so if in case you get disheartened to see if the first floor is already full (even though you got there really early and thinking you had a reservation) because there is a staircase leading you to another floor which feels more hom-ier (if there is such a word).



For starters we had the following:
French Onion Soup - by far the best best best piping hot French onion soup I've had. The onions were not all crushed and the cheese....!!!
Baked Samosas - the filo pastry that enveloped the mushrooms, spinach and cheese tasted like your normal fluffy croissant. So-so for a 4 piece appetizer.

** I wanted to try the Crabcakes but I knooow it's fattening so I opted to skip that **

Main Course:
I had the Club Sandwich. I knoooow....I went there to have a sandwich?!?! But if you have tried it, you would think otherwise! It's the best and most filling and tastiest club sandwich! I looooove it! :)
My boyfriend had the salpicao (I am not sure what they call it) but rice and veggies. Filling and really tender :)

This place is really worth visiting! I will definitely visit again and again and if I get rich-er (take note of the -er since I haven't gotten to the rich part just yet), I will bring my parents here and treat them to an amazing dinner.

Malate Finds Italy

Cosa Nostra. One of the few hidden food finds in the Malate area. I've been where when i was still in college and had the chance to live in a condo so I normally go out at night with my bestfriend and look for amazing places to eat dinner. She suggested this timeless place since her mom (who also studied in Manila college years) loved this place. Difficult to find and really small. With only a few tables (5-6 I think) and a few chairs each, its really a pleasant place to dine and have that really romantic dinner. The food is amazing, piping hot pasta dishes upon ordering and waaah generous servings too. :) Last time I checked, the prices are reasonable. :)

What I looooove about Chili's


This is the best thing about Chili's. The Nachos. This particular item in the menu is absolutely the best there is. Normally, the nacho chips are topped with cheese, beef, mushrooms and what have yous. But here, the toppings are placed on top of each nacho chip and then baked/microwaved to awesomeness with that extra hint of crunch. I miss having this! Since it's payday, I dont have the energy to spend at least php300++ on a plate of nachos unless my parents are treating. :) hehehe You should try this though!!! GO!!!!
