Never been to Manila but went to Manila Place
Manila Place in Gurney Plaza (ground floor, opposite Chillis). It has been there for a long time, but somehow I only managed to try it out few months ago during lunchtime on a Saturday.
They have quite an extensive menu, ranging from salads, main course (western), local delicacies, pies & sandwiches and of course desserts. An array of cakes are displayed near the cashier counter. The cheese cakes are an attraction.
We picked the set lunch meal of a main course, which comes with drinks, soup of the day and dessert (ice-cream)

The mushroom soup was on par…but nothing more than that. The bun however is very soft and the accompanied butter gives a pleasent start to our meal.
Then comes the main course, Spaghetti Bolognese Chicken (RM19.90++) and King Sized Sausage (RM21.90++).

Both the garlic bread and the bolognese was nicely done. The garlic bread smells fragrant and is crunchy at the side but soft at the center. The bolognese sauce topped with cheese is very thick and has huge chunks of chicken meat, carrots and tomatoes.

The King Size Sausage my lunchmate ordered. No idea where the sausages were imported from but it was so soft and the meat was so finely grinded. It also look very pale beige in colour on the inside instead of the normal ones we see in supermarkets.

There’s two choices for the sauce. This one is some oriental spice sauce or something..don’t quite remembered. It taste abit sour and spicy. The wedges was very good while the salad gives a refreshing taste to this dish.
Overall it was a good and satisfying meal, price was reasonable and the ambience was very nice. There’s free WiFi in there too.

Never like their Spaghetti Bolognese Chicken, I think Dome is much better than theirs. The gigantic sausage is either made from Chicken or Pork. Those are German’s speciality.
