Next Door Deli

It has been eons since the last time Dharshiney and I met up, so she suggested having lunch at Next Door Deli on a Sunday afternoon. We reached there pretty late, but because they were having a 20% discount for their Tea Time orders from 2pm to 5pm, we were in for a treat! 

Trying to split the bill amongst yourselves? Save the hassle as you pay individually when you collect your food. Yes, it is self service and therefore no service charge! Plus, there are no phoney GST charges, which means what you see is what you pay. ^.^

Love the window grilles!

We decided to dine alfresco to enjoy the breeze in the Ang Mo Kio neighborhood.

Organic Spagehetti with Meatballs - $7.80 (4/5)

The highlight of the dish is probably the meatballs. Trust me, they are not your typical IKEA meatballs. These are infused with diced carrots and celery, and they tasted really organic. I would definitely go back for their meatballs if I wasn't living so far away!

Crispy Grilled Chicken Steak - $7.80 (4/5)

It seems to me that they also made the mashed potato themselves. I didn't expect the grilled chicken to be that tender and juicy. And would you believe it, it wasn't even oily! Great for health conscious people, like me. :p

There was a set of instructions we had to follow, to enjoy our chiffon cake. How creative! 

Margarita Chiffon Cake - $2.20 (4/5)

This is the highly raved dessert at Next Door Deli. Initially, I had very low expectation of the cake because it looked plain and similar to pandan cake. Since the foodie, Dharshiney, insisted on trying one, we went ahead with this for dessert.

But then again, never judge a book by its cover! After Dharshiney was done drizzling the lime-infused tequila over the cake and sprinkling it with sea salt, the Margarita Chiffon Cake was ready to be savored! This is one of those things that made the both us go "mmmmm" as the delightful taste came as a surprise. 

Enough said, this is a must try!

Sea Salt Brownie Popsicle with Vanilla Ice Cream - $2.90 (3/5)

As good as it may seem to be, the brownie was actually rather dry and both of us didn't like it at all. :(

Both of us agreed that the staff are really efficient and helpful! One of them even came up to have a small chat with us and it wasn't even awkward. Guess that's the perk of eating in a neighborhood huh. And guess what, Pine Garden Bakery is just next door! The cakes on display look really gooooood.

Next Door Deli is a pretty good place for meals that are worth your every penny.
