Birthday Dinner at Cava Restaurant & Bar

Cava has been one of my most favourite restaurant since 4 months ago. I wouldn't have known about this place if not for my primary school reunion which was held there, and the person who suggested Cava didn't even show up. Since then I've visited Cava 4 times, each time with a satisfying tummy and a "gosh-I-should-never-allow-myself-to-overeat-again" promise.

Then came hubby's 40th birthday, 1st August! What better place to dine with good food and wine, romantic setting, ample parking space, great friendly and efficient staffs? ;)

Let's see what we ordered that nite...

to start off, we had ....Sangria - the BEST! and the bread with olive and oil dip - really good

tapas - deep fried soft shell crabs - fried to perfection!

tapas - Poach asparagus with bearnaise sauce, a little bland in taste and the portion was way tooo small, I know it's a tapas, but still...

tapas - marsala lamb - soft and tender meat, good flavour

Main - oxtail pasta, I love this, fall-off-the-bone oxtail (doneness varies each time you order) and the sauce is just delicious ;)

Main - Sirloin with jalapeno gorgonzola sauce, to die for super yummy!!!

Main (yes another main!) - vegetarian paella, what I love about Cava's paella is their chilli padi paste. So spicy and it goes so well with the paella.

last of all, the "chocolate dream". On the house (because they knew it was hubby's birthday!) How nice huh?

Needless to say, we finished all the food and I was again satisfied with a full tummy and a "gosh-I-should-never-allow-myself-to-overeat-anymore" promise ;)

If you have not been to Cava, please do so now. ASAP!!!! Visit their website for the menu, location and phone number. It is advisable that you make a reservation on weekends.
