Ambience: straightforward, traditional restaurant set up.Flavors: comfort food and the sayote tops is the best! The Sinigang na Salmon is very good. Too bad they don't have the website booking button. I had to call the restaurant for reservation.

Note: late reviewMilky Way started out as a dairy bar in Manila in the 1950's.  In 1962, Julie Gamboa took over the ownership and management of the bar from her father.  With the help of her husband,  Gamboa ably steered the Milky Way fast food franchise and the rest is history.Source: Wikipedia This is the last stop of our impromptu website adventure.  When one says Halo-Halo,  i think of Razon's.  Yes,  i am predictable.  I like their version because of its simplicity and the voodoo they do with shaving ice.  I've tried a couple of joints but I still go back to Razon's.  This will soon change because of Milky Way. Ze Milky Way Halo Halo.  Traditional, shaved ice,  beans,  pinipig,  sweetened bananas, milk, gulaman and all of the other stuff used for this tasty treat.  They say thay Vintage never goes out of style -  this is it.  Halo-Halo,  vintage,  tradional,  a classic Filipino dessert.  And oh,  a friend mentioned that the ice cream is from the Milky Way pantry.  And yes,  it is not too sweet,  goes well with my genes 😊Ze Ube Ice Cream.  This deserves a separate paragraph.  The consistency of this ice cream is off the charts.  You can tell if the consistency is off if the ice cream melts easily (Im no expert,  but i think consistency is directly proportional to liquefaction)  I think this is a product of old-fashioned churning and the usage of premium ingredients.  Simple flavors,  artisan in taste.  And yes,  im gonna spend a lot of sleepless nights for ignoring Milk Way at Plant.

I’ve been living in Sydney for a year now and every time I’m home I always look for Filipino food. My best friend brought me to Milky Way since he said that’s the best there is so I definitely had high expectation. The ambiance of the restaurant is very homey, the staff so friendly and helpful, it makes me remember early childhood years when my partner would take us out for special lunch. We ordered Adobong Soft Shell Crab ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a must try, best to be shared with friends and enjoyed with rice, a lot of rice. Squid Ink Adobo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The squid is very fresh cooked every wellHito ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I wouldn’t normally order fish but my friend said this is a must try and I’m so happy we did. The Hito skin tasted like chicharon and the fish itself was cooked very well, it was serve with ensalada with bagoong. This was is really special and I would really come back to this Halo Halo with Ube or Avocado Salad ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m quite picky with Halo Halo cuz sometimes it has too much ice or too much beans. But this one has the right balance of everything. One of the staff was so friendly that she helped me mix my Halo Halo. As you can see overall I love this restaurant and would recommend coming back here. I heard the staff has been there for decades since 1961 and still working there. The owners my treat their staff well. It was a good experience and I’m looking forward to go back again.

I grew up with Milky Way. Yes that's how I am. I remember being with mommy having Halo-Halo in Milky Way on a sizzling afternoon with half of Metro Manila residents. That's how big Milky Way was.And it's still standing. Quiet, immaculate in San Lorenzo. Still attracting older men and women with their grandkids enjoying what they used to enjoy during those jolly, younger days.Our group came from Tagaytay when we decided to pass by Milky Way to relive those days of eating and falling in love with Halo-Halo and Tokwa't Baboy. We were amazed at the building's cleanliness, the soft lighting. And the servers, silently doing their thing but quick to respond as the slightest wave of the diners.I would want to go back and relive my Milky Way experience and this time, will have a full meal with Tokwa't Baboy for appetizer and Halo-Halo for dessert after heavy main course.

MILKY WAY CAFEArnaiz St. Makati CityAmbiance: 4/5Service: 5/5Food: 4/5The place is a little bit old, well most probably because the restaurant is also old as it is but still classy.GREEN SALAD WITH BACON 3.5/5I just want more bacon in it!PIZZA 3/5Thin crust pizzas in different flavors, i like the taste but the crust is too hard for me... (because I have braces haha)OLIVE OIL AND GARLIC PASTA 4/5The light taste of this pasta taught me that simple is more.CREAMY SALMON 4.5/5The creamy taste of the fish and sauce are amazing, but I am looking for that distinct taste that would probably complete it, maybe add some spiciness?PORK WITH SAUCE 4/5Pork was tender and the sauce gave life to this dish, though I like it with more pepper.HALOHALO 3.5/5I like it with creamy ice cream, expecting for a sweeter version of this dessert.BROWNIES WITH SALTED CARAMEL & MANGO DIP 4.5/5Just the right sweetness combination of dessert.Come and visit this classic and classy place for your happy dining experience.

Best value for money! Milky Way along Arnaiz St - definitely one of the best places I've been to. Great service, great food... I always order hainanese chicken and any smoothie flavor is always a comforting partner. Definitely a place I will never get tired of

After our yakiniku dinner, I was supposed to drop Reich T at Greenbelt 1 when I had the urge to eat something sweet. We went to Milky Way Café for some good old halo-halo. The last time I was here I rated 4 stars but I was not totally impressed with their halo-halo. This visit was better! Probably because I allowed the home made ube ice cream to melt with the crushed ice and milk. The consistency is awesome! Thick and creamy, I slurped every spoon I could get!More leche flan and ube jam and I might have completely fall in love with their halo-halo!

Milky Way is a permanent stop whenever I am in Manila. Classic, simple dishes made well. Baby crispy pata is always a winner! The skin is crisp and fragrant. The meat is tender and tasty.
