Chef's Delight Western Food

Feeling like having a nice juicy steak but it's the end of the month and budget is an issue?

Don't worry. You don't need to go to some pricey atas restaurant to get served good steak. Just head to Sin Hup Aun coffee shop near the Pulau Tikus market and you will find Chef's Delight.

Chef's Delight is located in Sin Hup Aun coffee shop

This stall has been around for over a decade and has been feeding the students from nearby schools for just as long.

In terms of the menu, they certainly have more dishes than most Western food stalls on the island, over 20 different dishes.

The many delightful selections on their menu

This is just a fraction of what they have on their menu. And if a particular dish is not exactly to your liking, you can always talk to the friendly auntie manning the stall to see if she can make some adjustments for you.

Chicken cordon bleu deep fried in bread crumbs not to your liking? Then how about having it grilled instead?

Or what about fried rice with cheese?

Auntie comes up with new recipes every once in a while. Regulars will know to ask her if she has something that is not on the menu.

While waiting for your main course to arrive, you can start your meal with a bowl of their home made chicken mushroom soup.

Chicken Mushroom Soup (RM3.00)

A hearty bowl of rich soup served in a classic Campbells mug is just the way to start a good meal. However, it can be a little less "onion-y" to make it even better.

My must have main course is the sirloin steak.

Sirloin Stead (RM18.50)

What sets this dish apart from all the other steak establishments is auntie's secret sauce. I have been to many other Western food stalls and atas steak houses, but can never find steak sauce that comes close to auntie's secret recipe. There is just the right balance of tanginess and sweetness to complement the beef and it is not too overpowering that it just kills the natural flavor of the beef.

Notice anything missing in the above picture?

That's another thing that customers like about going there. Once you've been there often enough, they can remember all your quirks and eating habits.

I've never mentioned that I don't want any side salad with my steak. I just left them there at the end of the meal and one day, they stopped giving it to me. That's a plus point in terms of customer service!

In terms of portion, it is definitely a lot, better than some atas restaurants where they give you a huge plate and a tiny pile of food in the middle and calling it fine dining.

Nah, give me value for money any time.

Chef's Delight opens from lunch time till late at night and close on Tuesdays. It may be somewhat packed during lunch because there are other stalls operating in the coffee shop so it may be a little challenging to find a table. But by dinner time when all the other stalls close, you can take your time to enjoy your meal. It is a lot cooler by then too.
