Originally starting as an ice cream shop in Manila’s San Miguel district in 1962, Milky Way Café remains as one of the most reliable names in good home- style Filipino cooking. Loyalists swear by the chicken asparagus sandwich and Pampango renditions of local delicacies, such as dinuguan at puto and their halo-halo topped with homemade ube ice cream. With modern Filipino food on the rise locally and abroad, Milky Way Café provides traditional grandma's cooking for those who seek it.
