I'm always delighted to find delicious European food at heartland areas. Because that means restaurant food at hawker price! K brought me to this newly discovered food court about 8 minutes walk from Tiong Bahru MRT.
Standing out among all the regular hawker stalls is Delight n Delicious. It reminded me of Crazy Ang Mo.
I was impressed by the wide choice of food on the menu. They have everything from soup of the day to premium steaks and sinful desserts.
I took a long time studying the menu because I wanted to try something more interesting than the usual Vongolé and decided on Prosciutto De Parma Pasta($8.50).
"Italy Parma ham, shitake mushroom, fresh tomato toss with Delight N Delicious pink sauce (fresh cream & tomato) combining into a fabulous flavor"
Sounds good. $8.50 for something with Parma ham. That was it. I ordered and waited with great anticipation.
It didn't take too long before my Prosciutto De Parma Pasta was served. One pathetic slice of parma ham topped on the plate of pasta like a garnish. At $8.50, what can you expect? Haha!
It was decent. Pretty good in fact. Saucy and not too creamy as compared to the carbonara. Still, I couldn't finish it because it was too gelak. I think they should just reduce the portion and price.
K ordered the Spicy Italian($6.80) which to me, can't go wrong. Not exactly 9 inches, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. :P
After our meal, the owner was nice enough to come over and check if everything was cool. He asked why I didn't finish my pasta! I'll try something safer next time. Probably the Seafood Blanco Pasta.
I was wondering who would go for the char-grill premium steak at $23.90? That's not exactly hawker price and it's not as affordable compared to Astons Ribeye at only $13.90. OK, it supposed to be premium. But if I want a better cut, I'll probably pay a little more and go somewhere else. (Maybe MM will if she lives around the neighbourhood. She's the sort who will have sudden craving for the strangest things and will go all out to satisfy her palate.)
"Australia grainfed marbled beef. Juice & tender as good as a 6/7 grade wagyu beef. It serves with mash potato, coleslaw, potato croquette & our Soup day. The best steak around."
Grade 6/7 wagyu beef?! I think it may be over promising. :P But you got to try it to find out! ;)
