    this place gives off a very cool urban cafe/bistro vibe. there are two floors and the restaurant is littered with original modern large paintings that are also for sale (about P80K per piece).

    there are minimalist floral arrangements all around and once you walk into apartment 1b, it feels like a great respite from all the cement and busy-ness of makati (or pasig, or edsa or wherever). the main theme here is white walls, wooden floors that will soon look beat-up and solid antique looking mismatched dining chairs and tables.

    the food! is great! each entree is usually a generous portion. what to order: roast chicken (so tender - even the breast, so flavorful, just how i'd imagine my roast chicken should be), meatloaf (savory, fluffy, yummy comfort food), classic burger (all beef baby!), strawberry milkshake (it's not "gaggingly" sweet and thick, but smooth with a great mix of tangy sweetness). their thick fries are great, too!

    many have recommended their baked samosas so we tried that out, too. it's as good as everyone said and since it's baked it's supposedly kinder to the hips (but i doubt it coz there's cheese in there, but that's all right, it's goood!). there are four triangles per order.

    for three people, we ended up spending about P1,800. i think it's reasonable for the quality of the food, good service, drinks, ambiance. worth a visit!

    oh, i recommend making reservations, i think this place gets packed easily. they have couch seating areas that are ooohhh so cozy - especially on the second floor! but i think these go out fast so better reserve :)

    went there for the samosas, they did not have it at the time. i was in the mood for pasta that night so i ordered the carbonara. the pasta was perfectly done, so i didn't mind the sauce being too creamy. i always loved shaved parmesan and the prosciutto gave the rather common dish a little bit of distinction, and not to mention the very nice toast that they served with it. my husband had the chops and was very tender. the apple sauce was great! we also tried the roast chicken and the blue marlin (served on top of spaghetti with pesto!), both were okay but i thought the fish is a bit overpriced. also had the chocolate cake - very good since it was not too sweet and the texture was excellent. i look forward to trying their breakfast dishes that they serve till late in the day. overall apartment 1b is a great place to eat. very charming, good food, friendly service.

    My Best 2007 Find

    If I would have written this on 2007, I will give a full 5 star for food. But then, I have not taken any desserts even if I have gone there a couple of times. Come 2008, I took a plunge on dessert w/c is a wrong move for a non-sweetie like me. It was deadly headache screaming sweetness. We even took the less suspicious Carrot Cake! We have to give up partaking the cake until we scrape all the icing off. If not, it will be left as it is - a waste of our order.

    But moving to the good stuff - this is where I really find comfort food as what it implies. I don't think it's pricey considering that it is projecting itself as close to hi-end/mid-end resto. It is strategically located in an area with swarming expats so count its price versus its surrounding, this will be like the expats' neighborhood resto. The size is just right and actually this is what amazed me with it. They just know what the right size of food to make you feel satisfied w/o asking for more or w/o feeling that it is lacking.

    I tried on
    1. Quiche - A lover has to try quiche at all chances. It was good - not Lumiere good but it is there.
    2. Samosas - Not oily - whoopee!
    3. Blue Marlin - My pet peeve has always been the "fishiness". There's none here. And for grills, they usually turn out as hard as rock - but no, it was just fine - with juice oozing and all.
    4. The Breakfast i.e. French Toast - I so love it that I took a picture of it :) It was best so far (until Chateau knocked me on months later). My pet peeve though is no refillable coffee! :(

    The service can be a challenge esp during peak hours and esp if you are sitting outside bec you don't have reservation and you really really want to eat there.

    The ambiance - come to think of it, even outside, it was nice. Secluded despite being steps away from Paseo Center and they have nice comfy living room type upstairs. I say, perfect hangout and be COMFORTED :)

    Great cozy place, always full, a bit expensive considering it's size. I would say they have the best SAMOSAS in Manila, light and non-oily, though they are not authentic Indian resto. Prompt service. And when I see their freshly cut amazing flowers I forget my bill :)
