Cagayan @ Centre Point BU

What comes into your mind when I say a neighborhood restaurant? A small restaurant in a sketchy neighborhood? This does not apply to Centre Point BU which nestled in a quiet residential area of Bandar Utama, with quite a numbers of upscale yet casual café around.

I’ll start my review with one of the most humble dining place at Centre Point BU along with Teckiee’s latest review. Dining at Cagayan is a no-frills affair and is all about the food. It was run by a group of Phillippino friends and the place was name after a province of the Philippines, Cagayan. It is a gleaming space with light toned walls, bright lighting and wooden table and wooden seating.

Green Tea bottomless (RM 2.90)

Tori Katsu Don (RM 8.90). The chicken katsu is served on a bed of white rice with some streaks of egg. The rice was nicely steamed and was delicious with the sauce with just enough of salty soy sweet taste to flavour the rice. However, the breaded cutlet is a bit saturated and mushy, they should serve the sauce separately instead of pouring them in. The bamboo painted bowl reminds me of some teriyaki donburi dish that I cook with gaiety ages ago. :D

This luxuriously rich and flavorful lamb stew is brimming with some tender lamb chunks, the huge portion is a great way to fill up your stomach. Sweet and salty at the time, the hearty and delicious lamb stew has win our votes.

We're true carnivores. The meal is completed with an order of Little Piggy (4 slabs of ribs) with Classic Sauce (RM25.90). Spicy sauce and oriental sauce was available too, but the serving staff recommended classic sauce with tomato base for the gentle and slightly tangy flavour.

Dripping with sauce and loaded with taste, the meat is so tender and juicy that it slides right off the bone. They are loaded with right amount of fats, the delicious tangy sauce is great to mop up with our rice. Look at the happy glutton!

Total bill comes to RM90++ for 4 green teas, 2 rice dish, 2 ramen dish (which I lost the pictures) and four slabs of tender juicy ribs. I was pleased to discover restaurants that serve excellent formal fare at quite reasonable prices.
