Breakfast? Anyone?

Review: 5 out of 5 stars
Restaurant: Apartment 1B

Unlike my sister's recent exploits with ox brain (Uck) (See rapacop.multiply.com) my not-so-adventurous tastebuds led me back to Apartment 1B in Makati. With some mornings left unoccupied, I skipped a morning class of Body Balance for some Eggs Benedict.

I had eaten here last year with little Caelum and Blue and thought the place was real pretty, cozy, and child-friendly. We were seated on the second floor right smack in front of the flat screen which was tuned to the Disney Channel. Did they know we were coming? :o) Because of that tv, we were able to enjoy our dishes and have the luxury of dessert with Caelum busy and all. That was dinner. It was okay.

My comfort food has always been breakfast fare. Anything with eggs, I like. And so I had been reading that this place was famous for its eggs benedict. Off I went and found it without a hitch. At 10 in the morning, 5 out of the 7 tables on the first floor were occupied. I was seated quickly enough at a table near the bar. I asked the waiter their specialty and he pointed out the eggs. For an egg dish, P510 may seem steep but it is huge. (see photo) Decked on two bagels are eggs, smoked salmon, spinach and some hollandaise. Second best were the super tasty herbed potatoes with onions as sidings. With a glass of freshly-squeezed orange juice and the latest InStyle, I was giggling in my seat.

I found that I could only finish half so when I got my check the server effortlessly said, "No problem, we can wrap this up for you." (ang galeng mag-eengleesh, didjawantthatinabag?)

With free wi-fi, cool piped-in music, great service, I'll definitely return and maybe try the omelet or the EB this time with Canadian ham. 5 out of 5 stars for me!
