Who says you can't have a healthy meal on the go? Today there are more options out there for you to choose from that doesn't need to involve something oily from your local greasy eatery. Dish Deli does frozen versions of their menu and they are not only yummy but good for you too.
With everyone’s lives getting more hectic each day it can often be difficult and almost impossible to have a healthy and tasty home cooked meal. Dishes such as a tender roast beef with caramelised roast veggies, simple tasty pastas, and wholesome salads are almost never seen at the dinner table as it’s much easier to tarpau something from the neighbourhood mamak.
So you can imagine my excitement when I happened across Dish Deli, a cosy little restaurant located in Solaris dedicated to bringing healthy and yummy dishes to the table. Their menu is filled to the brim with wholesome home-cooked food and not only can you dine in and enjoy these favourites on site but they’ve also made it convenient for customers to buy frozen items which can be easily reheated at home. Owners Heidi Shamsuddin and Annette Isaac have invested in a blast freezer which makes freezing food a blast (pardon the play on words it was just too easy!). This machine can take food from hot temperatures right down to freezing in a matter of minutes and this helps the dish to retain its flavour and have that just cooked feel to it once it has been reheated.
The frozen food menu is aptly named Dish 'n’ Dash and consists of almost everything they serve at the restaurant. Some of these meals include roast chicken, casseroles, beef stew, cottage pie, pasta sauces, and some local favourites such as beef rendang, soto ayam Johor and masak lodeh. They also have a great kids menu so that parents don’t have to worry about their kids getting a healthy balanced meal.
"A thick slab of roasted beef with hot gravy"
The first time I found this restaurant I tried their delicious Sunday roast; a thick slab of roast beef doused generously with gravy served with a traditional Yorkshire pudding and roast veggies on the side. All of this came complete with a peach cobbler for dessert at only RM28. The meat was nicely cooked; tender and flavorful. My only gripe would be that the cut of meat is slightly fatty but once you cut around it there is nothing but pure carnivore pleasing sweetness. This was also my first time eating Yorkshire pudding which is a sort of pastry that is meant to mop up all the gravy from a roast, hence its plain eggy taste.
On my second visit we savored a few of the other dishes on the menu. First up was the house salad with balsamic mushrooms. A plate full of vibrant fresh greens arrived with plump mushrooms scattered about; the peppery arugula goes very well with the juicy grilled mushrooms. Next we sampled one of the popular dishes here, the fish pie. This is filled with pieces of poached Dory as well as tuna and egg under mashed potatoes. This is creamy and rich spelling oooey gooey goodness upon first bite. A favorite of mine is the homemade pesto spaghetti topped with slices of grilled chicken. This simple bright green dish is bursting with flavour, strong heady basil, punches of garlic, and a good nutty olive oil rounds out the taste.
With all of these comfort foods on their menu that are cooked to perfection I know where I’ll be stopping the next time I’m on the run and I need to grab a healthy meal to pop in the microwave!

This is definitely going on my list of places to try out. I love a good piece of cow and the roast beef looks to die for!
