I love eating al fresco and I was delighted to find out that we would be having our staycation dinner at Microtel’s roof deck with the stars above and the city lights below.

The food would be provided by Millie’s Restaurant, Microtel MOA’s in house food place. It was named after the hotel president’s mom who, we found out, has also got a bad case of the travel itch too. She proclaimed that a big part of roaming the globe was the gastronomic delights that a traveler encounters on the places one visits. The restaurant reflects that theme with its dishes.

The evening set in and the lights of the metro started to illuminate the cityscape of Metro Manila. A long table was set on the western end of the deck and plates filled with expensive looking dishes were laid down one after another.

Okay, like what I did during that amazing dinner, I’ll have less talk and more eating. Since all the adjectives I’d probably say for each dish would be excellent, superb, tasty and fantastic, I’m just gonna present each one in order of appearance and let the photos do the talking.

Special thanks to C of Adventurous Feet for taking the time to note down the names of the dishes while I was busily chowing down at each dish presented by Chef Ana Go.

Dinners aren’t usually set at Microtel’s roof deck although one can arrange for it if one so wishes, it’s a perfect place for a romantic date. We were super grateful that Microtel allowed us to experience the luxury of dining above the city courtesy of Millie’s Restaurant. It was one of the grandest and not to mention the most beautiful dinner I’ve ever had.
