Crispy & Savory

Popular Choice

Our salt and pepper squid is a popular Chinese food option that showcases Dell Cafe's commitment to authentic flavors. We start with fresh squid, carefully cleaned and cut into tender rings and tentacles. Each piece is coated in a light, seasoned cornstarch mixture that creates an incredibly crispy texture when deep-fried. The real magic happens when we toss the crispy squid with minced garlic, fresh jalapeño peppers, green onions, and our special blend of salt, white pepper, and black pepper.

What makes our salt and pepper squid special is the perfect balance of textures and flavors. The squid stays tender inside while maintaining its crispy exterior, and the aromatic seasonings add layers of savory, slightly spicy flavor. It's the perfect appetizer to share or add to one of our famous $15 combo dinners. As part of Dell Cafe's extensive menu, this dish represents the quality Chinese food that keeps customers coming back to our Bowness location.
