How could anybody say no to Delicious? The afternoon tea was really good, we couldn't resist going back to try the rest of their food. This time round, we went for dinner. Bring it on, Delicious.
First off, soup. Mom ordered the Wild Mushroom soup. As you can see, the consistency of the soup was pretty thick, great if you like your soup rich and creamy. Tasted home made, definitely not your regular soup in a can.
Next, the Gado-gado. This Indonesian specialty is prepared to perfection here at Delicious, I could even remember how much I loved it the first time around two years ago! The highlight of the dish is their peanut sauce, wonderfully served in a ginger flower bud (or bunga kantan in Malay), it would have been every satay lover's dream. At first I was amazed at the huge portions of not only the sauce, but also the vegetables (including bean sprouts, long beans, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, potatoes), taupok, egg and emping (Indonesian crackers, which were extremely crispy). In the end, we managed to finish almost everything, even the sauce!
My little sister's Grilled Chicken Burger. Came with turkey bacon. Just look at the size of that thing. Beats a Big Mac any day.
Next up: their star dish, the Duck Confit, with potato, mushrooms and sauerkraut.
Paired with the mustard cream sauce, it is definitely a must try. At least that's what I gather from my dad's super clean plate.
And then we proceed on to desserts. Exhibit A: the White Chocolate Tart (the real deal this time!) Literally heaven on a plate, a layer of white chocolate shavings sits atop this charming treat. The tart was a bit too huge though, even when the three of us shared. We were probably too full on mains by then.
Exhibit B: Marmalade Bread and Butter Pudding. Aw, as much as I love bread and butter pudding this was utterly disappointing. The crust was hard, as in difficult to cut and even more difficult to chew. The pudding itself was on the dry side, but that's where the custard sauce comes in.
Last dessert: Banana Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce. I'm a sucker for banana desserts, so this definitely goes on my Yummy list. Together with the sauce, it's still not overly sweet, perfect if you're watching your weight. Plus, it's not one of those desserts that'll make you feel sick after the first three bites.
After sampling this trio of desserts, we all agreed that the banoffee pie still reigns supreme at Delicious. A little something to take note though; try to make a reservation beforehand so you don't have to wait 20 minutes for a table. Like what we did. Yes, I know 20 minutes isn't that long, but it's always better to get a table right when you step in, instead of having a staring competition with the cake display. :P
