Champ's Bistro @ Centre Point, Bandar Utama

P1140738

We made another pit stop to CentrePoint BU on a no-idea-where-to-eat-day, there were so many upscale yet casual cafe around, but we settled for Champs' Bistro after some time of loitering around.

The hall of fame with various press coverage; it seems like Champ's Bistro has been a reputable establishment for some years now and while it has always produced fantastic prawn noodles and pork noodles. Eager curiosity took over so we decided to go for the two most signature dish that we found on almost every table.

P1140782

'Damn Shiok' Hokkien Prawn Mee (RM18.90++). RM 20 for a bowl of prawn noodles? We are not crazy as the oodles of noodles garnished with crispy shallots come in a gigantic bowl. A generous portion of kangkung, big fresh water prawns, shrimps, lards, pork slices and even pork ribs is served.

The broth is well flavoured and has a right amount of consistency. Fighting the temperature to gulp it down, I happily sipped the soup till the last drop.

The succulent, juicy and sweet prawn is shining gloriously. It is very considerate of them to deshelled the prawns so that I can savour it in a lady-like manner, a grande bourgeoise I am. Haha.

Another crazy dish, the Chu Yuk Fun aka Pork Noodle selling at RM16.90++. Minced pork, slabs of pork ribs, pork slices, liver and intestine come in abundance that the noodles were no where in sight. I am not exaggerating because eventually a big eater like KampungBoy is having a hard time to finish it off. The freshness of the ingredients has definitely enhance the flavour of the clear soup, giving a natural sweetness to it.

Champ's Bistro is not your average corner bistro that serves only booze and finger food. The total bill comes to RM 50++ with extra order of drinks, albeit comes in a higher price, the food is of great quality and huge portion. Do drop by for some unusual hawker fare food or bistro food.

I was telling Tankiasu before, the pork ribs in my prawn mee was so big till I got scared eating it. I have not been back since then and that was like 6 years ago!!!

At one time yeara ago this fella had a few shops here and there but his attitude then was well , cocky and crude so we thought !

then this type of pricing can only attract a certain type of ppl probably what we call 'one timer' only !
hahaha

we prefer his bro downstairs tho, also got good food ( & gals , but quite old ones lah ) LOL

Used to crave for its prawn mee. Since discovering many other places serving good ones, I'm now turned off by the price here. =(

jason said...

The price sounds "crazy" but it seems like worth the price.

daphne said...

sounds expensive but I supposed the portion size + location + delish factor counts for it. the soup looks amazing!
