The bistro is the non-halal offshoot of famous Dave’s Deli. David ordered me a seafood pasta of penne with luscious tomato sauce. Was very good and delicious!
Was there for a discussion with David to explore the possibility of me doing new photography to update their long standing menu as new items were added over the years.

They come and go quick even though the short stretch of shophouses is packed with customers at night. I went there to look for lunch just the other day and not one place was opened in the day, curiously.
Sweeds.
Sweeds was the only place serving lunch on the last visit to the elevated enclave. Their tasty Black Pepper Chicken was RM12.90 before a 20% discount. Nice to see discounts offered when so many eateries are hiking up prices.
Sweeds is at 18 Jalan Siput Akek, Taman Billion, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.

Giggling waitress said it was noni fish. Whatever that was, it was boneless and tasty. The jar is mashed potato and the bun is a man tou. Pic captured with Asus ZenFone 3.

I think it was Alisan coffee shop in the Masjid India area that pioneered the food court within a kopitiam. That was in the early 1980s and the concept has since been adopted by many Chinese coffee shops. The big and popular ones may squeeze as many as two or three dozen food stalls into a single shop lot.
Currently, one of the less common types of food served at such places is pasta. With the new burden of GST and the Shringgit (a term attributed to my friend Sidek Kamiso), the poor man’s Italian dining should become more popular.
If you are not a snob, this Seafood Pasta is good value as the portion and ingredients are generous at RM 9 nett. Of course, it won’t taste as good as that from an Italian chef who hand craft his pasta and blend the sauce from some time-tested family recipe.
Nevertheless, I like that I can customise it in whatever way I want at the kopitiam. No snooty chef or maitre d’ protesting because it is heresy to even suggest.
The fat Chinese cook here nodded his head happily when I requested a tomato-based sauce even though it is served dry.
I also like that I can order a barley drink to go with it and have dessert of Nyonya Kuih Lapis bought from another stall outside.
The coffee shop is at one corner of Jalan SJ6, Selayang.
