Dave Deli for Some Roast Chicken

Dave Deli

Dave Deli was my go to place for Roast Chicken, from the day they first open in Midland One Stop at Pulau Tikus Penang, even when Kenny Rogers Roosters, move in there to provided competition, Deve deli was still my first choice. 

However it has been many years that I step in to a outlet till very recently.  I have noticed that Deve Deli has open an outlet at the Lower ground Sunway Mall, Seberang Jaya (I call it basement) not too long ago and one day we decided to drop by.  

The Front of the outlet open up in to a large dinning area at the back which not many ppl know about.  (come to think about it Winter Warmers has this off set configuration also.  

After Placing the order at the order station in Front, and Picking up the cutlery and drinks, (Food is served)  The Roast Chicken arrived fast, followed by our Soup and Spaghetti Carbonara.  

The Roast chicken remains the same, Quarter Roast Chicken with gravy served, with Mash Potato and Coleslaw,  comfort food.  

Location :  Basement of Sunway Carnival, Seberang Jaya, Seberang Prai

Butterworth Café  

Of the 3 old school Western Food Joints in Butterworth, Butterworth Café is definitely my favorite place. Why?  (Salad Bowl @ Jalan Chain Ferry, Top Taste @ Taman Inderawasih are the other two, i will get around to reviewing them later)  

• The atmosphere in the Café invoke memories and reminds one of the RAAF days in Butterworth
• They do one of the better Pizza (thin crust) in Penang 
• Most important is the obliging and helpful Owner   

My Meal when ever I drop by in this Aircondition cafe will be a Margarita Pizza and a couple of beers,  However that not all what they serve,  Currently they have a do it your self pizza counter, as well as the regular chicken chops and others Malaysianise Western Food. 

The Tiramisu is definitely the better ones in Butterworth,  so is the Mushroom Soup, home made goodness full of mushroom  not the canned verity that most serve and Garlic Bread are our favorites here.

Back to the Pizza :  All the pizzas is bake lovingly on your order, so it will take some time,  best if you order some mushroom soup munch on the garlic bread while you wait.  Pizza is serve on a wooden chopping board, order a verity and share.   The Perfect accompaniment for Pizza,  Tabasco Sauce is serve in 2 verities.  Mild Green and Hot Red

How it works :  To mitigate a large staffing requirement, Butterworth Café practice a self ordering system,  You will be given a clipboard, with the menu, as soon as you sit down, all you need to do is to write how many of each.   Hand it over to your serve and your drinks and food will be arriving soon.  Cutleries with quaint salt and pepper shakers are on your table.

Location  :  Butterworth café is actually located a distance from Butterworth Old Town,  along the Main Road heading towards the Butterworth Air Base at Telok Air Tawar.   You can Waze there, or for those travelling with out GPS, take the Main Road (Jalan Bagan Luar) out of Butterworth old town heading up North, Passing by Pantai Bersih, and just after that u will see Butterworth Café on your right  (see Map Provided Note :  My Map is facing south upwards)   There is a small car park at the Café compound.   

Kudos to the Owner, genuinely Obliging and Helpful, best affordable western dining experience …….   

Nonya & Western Dinning at Tiffin Cottage

Update: Tiffin have been upgraded

Tiffin Cottage

Is a newly open cafe along Jalan Ong Yee How, (the road from Jalan Raja Uda North heading towards Bagan Lalang) that offers a hybrid Nonya & Western Menu in a contemporary atmosphere.

Operated by a charming couple with international experience this café have the best chicken chop I ever had in Butterworth.  The Speghetti Napoletana we had has ingredients only 5 star hotels and restaurants use.  

Nonya Food offering is no slouch either, and is just as good as those Nonya Restaurants in Penang.  The Curry Kapitan, the Ju Hu Char, Cincalok Omelette  is good, but I love the sambal belacan even more. 

Notes Parking :  Street Parking,  Hygiene : Cafe,  Pricing :  Reasonable Café Price  Note :  See Pic for Opening Hours
