Dinner @ Delizze*Mummy's birthday*

This is a typical pre-birthday conversation between mom and me (every year without fail). Please excuse the language / grammar :)

Me: This Friday we go out for dinner k?

Mom: No need lah. No need to spend so much money. We just makan at home.

Me: Everyday also you cook bah. Go out once a year to makan.

Mom: No need. Wasting. Every body so busy with own work. No time. Just eat at home.

Me: Everybody said OK liao mah.... just go! *blood simmering*

Mom: No need. Don't waste money. Pay bills better.

Me: Bills every month also got come! *blood boiling*

Mom: Later end of the month Noel's birthday - you need to spend some more.

Me: Noel, Noel lah. You, you lah. *give up and walk away before blood comes out of nostrils*

Hehe... anyway, this year, after much persuasion, my mom finally relented and allowed us to take her out for dinner for her birthday. I pray that I won't get that stubborn when I'm old :)

So... we went to this "not-so-new" establishment called Delizze last Friday nite (a day earlier). It's located in Premier 101 - the owner I heard is an Caucasian married to a local lady. (sorry, no pix of the exterior). It's been there for quite some time now, but I've not had any chance to give it a try. I know that one of my close family friend loves this place to bits. Worth mentioning that this place serves halal food. Delizze is actually a combination of a deli and a restaurant. They have a bakery section, followed by a cold cut / sausages / salami section and finally a restaurant - all attended by very attentive crew.

On towards the food we ordered!

Prawn and Orange Salad - RM 14.50.

The prawns were deep fried - but it was surpisingly light and went well with the citrus concept. Refreshing. Noel enjoyed this (more like enjoying the prawns!) 3/5.

Soup of the day - Chicken and Vegetable Soup - RM5.50

Erm... didn't really fancy this. Whole family "shared" one and we couldn't even finish it. Do not expect a smooth soup for this one - rather sand-ish. The garlic bread was soft in the middle and crunchy on the outside though. But I heard their other soups are nice. 1/5.

Garlic Butter Prawn - RM 14.50

Now, this is something really worth mentioning. The prawns were "many" (for that price) and they were fresh and there's a crunch when you bite into it. Sweet. Combined with that buttery / garlicky goodness.... YUUMMMMMMM!!!!! This wasn't in the main course page - but we're happy we got this. Definately a winner. 5/5.

Cold Cuts Sandwiches - RM9.50

The portion for this was huge - impossible to finish alone. Came in 4 not-so-mini buns, with 4 types of variety of cold cuts. While the cold cuts were not too thin / thick of a slice, I thought the buns were a tad dry. It would have been better if it's served warm? I'm not too sure. The accompanying fries - hmmm... mediocre. 3/5.

Lamb shank - RM32.00

The lamb was nice and came of the bone easily. It was of a "healthy" portion too - so the price was good. It came with a huge helping of mash potatoes. I've always been a fan of mashed potatoes (rather than fried ones) so I was really happy when I was this. Again, do not expect a smooth version - it pleasantly had chunks in it - yum. But my only complaint would be, the potatoes were a tad too dry. Well, I of course could have asked for more gravy - but I didn't. My fault. The accompanying veg - not too sure how these were prepared - but a tad sourish. 4/5.

Australian Tenderloin - RM29.50

SIL ordered this well done. It was alright - kind to the jaw - as it's not those kind of tough pieces. This one came with roasted potatoes. Nice variety in comparison with the mashed ones. I'd give this a... 3/5. But then again, I didn't eat too much of this to develop and opinion - it could have been a 4 for my sis.

Roasted Chicken - RM 15.50

Very well priced. Half a chicken - moist and juicy - not the expected "dry-prepared-hours-before" kinds. Came with mashed potatoes as well (again, I should have asked for more gravy. 3.5/5
We also had some fruit pastries, which were gobbled up before I could take any photos. Those were nice. Priced at RM4.50 (eh, wait a minute - I think they didn't charge us for this??? ggeeee....). This I believe is the pride. The pastry were so carefully and delicate layered with chocolate, before the custard was pour in. The custard was light and smooth and cooling. The fruit - fresh. Definately a 5/5.
The drinks - well, nothing to shout about. Most of the family kept to the cold / warm water served free flow. Noel had ice blended chocolate - medicore.
I'd definately visit this place again - more to sample and more pictures to be taken really.
Happy birthday Mummy!
