Delight 'N' Delicious

I was enticed to visit this place by tthe 1st review and the lovely photos of their food on their webby at delightndelicious.com.sg. Another plus is that, its really near my place, its only 5mins away from tiongbarhu plaza just passed Zhangde Pri Sch along ur way there.

I had the caesar salad ($4.80) and the Prosciutto De Parma Pasta ($8.50).

The serving of lettuce was generous and already pre-mixed with the sauce. It was slightly tangy and not too heavy for me but then normal souls may find it too strong. However, the bacon bits were not the crispy type, no croutons, and no shavings of cheese.

The pasta was swimming in pink sauce that was quite "jelak" (overpowering). They were very generous with the ingredients though, heaps of ham pieces, tomatos and mushrooms but only topped off with 1 fine slice of prosciutto.

Overall I find the taste OK, but not good enough to tempt me to visit again. Yes the serving is indeed generous but you pay for it as the price is sort of cafe prices, not really that cheap for a coffee shop setting.

I also hope that they can improve on their food handling especially their hand washing prior to handling food or to use gloves. The open concept kitchen gave me a clear view of the cooking process.

Check it out for yourself if you are in the area and are looking for some up market coffee shop western meal. They do have a good variety of food like steaks, lamb, pork etc... all are listed in their website.

I was recommended by my gf who works nearby. She had tried the food here! So we decided to head down for our dinner with my family. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of the food.I was actually contemplating whether to keep secret excellent European cuisine stall a secret as I was afraid that overcrowding might reduce the quality of food. But in the end , I decided to recommend the place to this site in hope that might spur them on to come up with more culinary delights.Haha

My opinions on the food we had

1) Paprika Chicken
Chargrilled Chicken Thigh seasoned with Paprika and topped with Mozzarella Cheese. The chicken is really tender. The combination of cheese with paprika blended well. Mash and Slaw amount is just right.Priced at $6.50.

2) Chargrilled Ribeye Steak
Priced at 13.80, it is probably the most value-for-money steak. Very big cut with good thickness. And my dad really enjoyed it.

3) Vongole Blanco
Pasta with White Wine Sauce and Clams. Done Al Dente. At least 15 Clams in it. Very value for money at $8.00

4) Seafood Blanco
Pasta with White Wine Sauce and Seafood. Same as Vongole Blanco. Generous amount of seafood.

5) Proiscuto De Parma Pasta
Pasta with Parma Ham n Shitake Mushroom in Pink Sauce. My bro was exclaiming that it's the first stall in coffeeshop to serve pink sauce pasta. Pink Sauce is a combination of cream and tomato sauce.Delicious enough for my ATAS brother to revisit this place.Priced at $8.00.

6) Kurobata Pork Rack
It's my first time trying Kurobata Pork. I was pleasantly surprised by the tenderness. How can pork be so tender? Definitely must try cos it's the September Special. Only this month. Priced at $13.80( where to find better price?).

7) Tiramusu
Italian dessert made from Mascarpone Cheese, Lady finger biscuits and other ingredient.Nice presentation. Can rival alot of restaurants and cafe joints Priced at $5.20.

8) Brownie with Ice Cream
Another delight. Brownie very nicely moist. Priced at $4.50.

9) Chocolate Bread Pudding
I love bread n butter pudding. It's the third time in 4 days I have eaten bread n butter pudding. Chocolate Ice cream and Bread pudding is a good combination!

Verdict:
Good food at really affordable price. We got a free caesar salad too. Unlike other western stall in kopitiam where the coleslaw and fries are enough to make you full, Delight n Delicious serve just the right amount leaving some space for their desserts. Definitely returning for more! Hoping for more creative delights soon!

I'm an American from New York who came to Singapore by way of San Franciso who likes to integrate into the heartland as much as possible. I live with my wife in the Membina Court HDB complex and are lucky enough to have a wonderful establishment that serves really good western food in a comfortable and clean coffee shop environment named 29 Food Centre. Delight and Delicious is exactly that. Delightful and delicious. I've had their pasta numerous times and love the creamy mix which incorporates a real cream sauce generously accented with crisp bacon (pork!) and fresh shitake mushrooms. Simply delicious and the pasta was still firm but not quite al dente (caters to Asia palettes). Their other pasta are also good but the creamy mix is my favorite. My wife likes the fish and chips and for good reason. Not over battered yet comes out crisp on the outside (you can tell that the oil that it was fried in is fresh)and flaky moist on the inside. Cole slaw is definitely of the higher caliber with long strands of cabbage interspersed with strings of carrot julienne. The taste of mayonaise is slight and not overwhelming. The crinkly cut fries also rate high. Large and long crispies with a moist interior.
But my favorite so far are their burgers. They offer a "half moon" (150gm patty) or "full moon" with 2x150gms of burger. Without having to ask, the thick juicy burgers came sandwiched between two soft buns decked with iceberg lettuce, sliced onions, and a slice of tomato, medium rare. Nice and pink but not quite bloody. This is an American burger but there is another surprise about them which I will leave readers to discover on their own during their visit to Delight and Delicious. A must try at $5.50 for the half and $7.50 for the full. And their sides are excellent and at a great price!
I've also had their lamb chops in the past and found them to be quite excellent. It's just that I've always prefer American lamb chops. Next on my plate will be their ribeye steak! Highly recommended establishment in a clean comfortable environment.
