Right on CUE!

I've been wanting to try this particular restaurant in Bonifacio High Street (BHS), mainly because of all the good things I have read about it.

We were finally able to dine at CUE Modern Barbecue last May.

For starters, we ordered their Good 'Ol Chicken Skins and Bone Marrow & Steak Tacos. For our main dish, we decided to try the Angus Beef Belly.

The Good 'Ol Chicken Skins (Php 145) is served with 2 types of dip, Red and Green Chili Sauce and Sweet Honey. I tasted it first without dip, and loved how crunchy and tasty their version is. I found it a bit peculiar for chicken skin to be served with honey, since the main purpose of the dip is to lessen the oil. Lo' and behold, it worked perfectly with the chicken skin! The sweet honey gave it a caramelized taste which I loved. Kyle liked it better without any dip. I guess this is more of an acquired tastes, specially for those who like to dip their chicken skin in vinegar.



One of the best ideas to serve as an appetizer the Bone Marrow & Steak Tacos (Php 485). This way, it can be eaten in moderation. Given Kyle's love for bone marrow and steak, this is the perfect dish for him.



A spoonful of soft, sinful bone marrow combined with steak chunks, carefully placed on a flour tortilla, rolled into the perfect bite! This is just pure bliss! Unfortunately, I only had one serving since I didn't want to fill myself before the main entree arrives.

My entree choice was the Angus Beef Belly (Php 695), 200 grams of beef braised in dark ale and mustard crusted. You get one free side dish for every from The Chopping Board. We chose the mashed potato for our side dish and salsa verde for the sauce.



The meat was really fork tender and had a strong mustard flavor. I really didn't like how the mustard overpowered the flavor of the beef. I actually scraped of the mustard crust for me to be able to fully enjoy this dish.

All the dishes that we ordered did not fall short from our expectations. The only down side that I could find from Cue is their price. Admittedly, they are on the high-end side of the market and is not for those who are budget-conscious.

A major plus factor for this place is their very cozy interiors. It has a very homey and relaxing feel when you dine in here. Definitely coming back!
