We went at Pala last 16 Oct Sunday for my husband's bday brunch. I just saw a friend's post in FB about this place so I decided to give it a try.
Parking: there is a quiet decent parking space just beside Pala.
Customer Service Experience: We had the most amazing experience ever! When we entered the place, we had a warm greeting from Dexter, one of the owners of Pala. He asked if we have reservation and immediately lead us to our table. When he learned that it was our 1st time there, he suggested the best sellers to give us idea of what to order. He kept on checking on us, asking about the food, the serving etc. Another owner, Marge, kept on checking on us too. Marvin, the cashier and another owner was so nice too when he took our orders. They are such a hands on owners! The vibe in this place is very positive. All the staff are smiling. While am eating, I also observed Dexter checking on his staff, asking if they are ok (coz the place is crazy busy) and giving them a pat on their backs/shoulders. Very kind gesture.
Food: We ordered "Breakfast of the Champion", Chori Burger, Chicken Adobo Benedict, Mango Smoothie, Cold Matcha Latte and Hot Ube Latte (lactose free). We enjoyed the food so much. It was the first time that my daughter was able to finish a Burger! She was smiling and giggling the whole time she's eating. The prices are fine, not that pricey.
Others: Ordering is thru the counter. We paid by eftpos/paypass. I love their till screen that shows all your orders so you can browse and review if they missed something. They also offer patteseri at the counter. We bought their different Ensaymadas and Buco (young coconut) Pie for takeaway. They have quite decent dining area. Hope they expand so they can accommodate more customers. PALA is a Filipino Fusion Resto but you can see multi cultural customers. The place is very clean and tidy.
Thanks Pala owners and staff for a great and amazing experience you gave us! It was indeed an above and beyond customer service! We will definitely come back to try other dishes. All the...
