Chef Mili chose to launch his own restaurant, named Mil's Kitchen, in July of 2020. Incorporating a traditional Indonesian touch with a dense cultural subtlety, the home-cooked food is not only excellently tasteful but also leaves a lasting impact in the hearts of every connoisseur. Chef Mili maintains not only the authenticity of taste, but also the authenticity of the Jogja-typical modern and warm appearance of the raw ingredients.

In line with the 209 Restaurant and Chamas Brazilian Restaurant at Vasa Hotel Surabaya, which implement the "0 kilometer" system, which prioritizes the use of fresh raw materials sourced from the nearest traditional market, he is also very concerned with the use of high-quality raw materials sourced from local farmers.

So, get yourself prepared to be intrigued by Chef Mili's innovations when staying at the Vasa Hotel Surabaya during those dates. Chef Mili replied, "Magic happens in the kitchen" when questioned about the flavor of the food to be served. Beginning with King Salmon "Pepes En Croute" as an appetizer, Chicken Ballontine "Srepeh Rembang" that combines the tenderness of chicken meat with fresh vegetables, US Prime Short Rib "Bakar" and various other side dishes such as Duo Treasure, cheek Bone Marrow, Forest Durian and Passion Fruit are the key to the flavor of the entire menu.
