Au Ventre

We just wanted to eat. It really was our only goal after having worked out really hard. The first place we went to had too many people and it didn't look so appealing. We decided to walk a bit more inside our village and that's when we chanced upon this place.

I loved the green and white colors of the place. It seemed calming and soothing. Or I could just be biased since I went to De La Salle and green and white is our school color. Whatever my reason was, I decided that we would eat here.

I loved the look of the place. It was very kitchy and it was homey. I took a photo of the chair not to show it off but because I want to buy one of these when we have our own house. It just looks so comfortable and it was.

The lights also look like something from candyland.

My sister ordered the beef rice topping and I went for the tuna sandwich. I can honestly say that for the beef rice topping alone,  It was really good. When the staff said that it was their best seller, I didn't believe it. When I took a bite of it, I believed her. Writing about it now, I just want to go out and have a cup.

It was the smell and then the taste. It leaves a memory. I don't know why but it does. It's the kind of dish that makes you remember its taste and scent which leaves a really good memory. I think that this is what food should be all about. It is not just the taste but the memory that it creates.

They also serve pretty good coffee and I liked that they serve it with biscotti. For a small hole in the wall resto-cafe, they were pretty impressive. The service was also really good. I'd say that we ended the year with a really nice discovery. I'm glad we went here.

Au Ventre is located along Vatican Road inside BFRV, Las Pinas.
