Millie’s — Restaurant in Pasay

I went here because my sister stayed in Microtel (which btw., is impressively clean with a nice, big window) so we get to go to Millie's for lunch. I ordered Black Truffle Gnocchi, which happened to be one of the chef's special that time. It was my first time eating gnocchi and I can't believe how delicious it is! The dish is composed of gnocchi, which is made of potato flour, several mushrooms, fried enoki, truffle oil, cream (and some ingredients that I'm probably not aware of). It looked like a humble meal at first glance but what a surprise when I took a spoonful: it was a medley of flavors! There was a punch of truffle but it doesn't overpower the taste of the other ingredients. It felt great because I was still able to taste the different mushrooms like shiitake and others. Plus, I like how the enoki was fried and that it gave a different flavor profile but at the same time, in harmony with the dish. And then the gnocchi. The gnocchi melts in the mouth. It's my first time trying it and it felt that this is such a high class meal. Looking forward to another plate of Black Truffle Gnocchi!

As for the environs, it would be great if they can open the curtains to bring in natural light from the outside. It seems that there's a mini garden outside and it would be a shame not to feature it. Aside from that, the service was outstanding! They were very attentive...

Despite the ever increasing number of fad restaurants and fusion cuisine, Millie's remains ever consistent with its quality of service and sumptuous menu.

Located conveniently in Microtel Mall of Asia, they are open for Breakfast Buffet as early as 6:00am and still offer A La Carte specials if you find buffets too much.

For lunch we ordered the following dishes to which servings were more than enough for the group of 4:

Pork Sinigang Kare-kare Leche Flan

Kare-kare was excellent on every bite and the leche flan was not even too sweet to the palatte. This is a perfect place for a cozy meal with loved ones and/or a business mtg with colleagues.

We will definitely be back...

I genuinely appreciate the variety of options during breakfast. Food variety was kinda mid but tastes terrific nonetheless. However, God forbid that you ask for juice, water, or anything from a staff named Carrie because you'll hear the sigh and see the evident irritable face of hers. While I understand it's Christmas 🎄 and people should be with their families because it's holiday season, I hope those in customer service would perform their work in a manner that doesn't affect the mood of customers. It was morning when it happened and it was kinda disheartening. An in-depth training on customer service would probably help some of the staff who also...
