Many many months ago, sometime in July, the trio from Kuching (namely Desmond, Foosi and Gerald) flew all the way to KL to visit me for the Grass Racing Autocross Championship 2011 – Round 2 at Stadium Shah Alam Carpark. After the event, we went to Betty’s Midwest Kitchen for an American dinner with the GRA crews and drivers.
Betty’s Midwest Kitchen serves only American food, well, the “America on a plate” says it all. The restaurant specialises in Midwest cuisine. Like any Western cuisines, the restaurant serves full course meals; from soup and starters to main course to desserts.
The restaurant is strictly Non-halal. Flipping through the menu, I said to myself, this is one restaurant I would come back again to try the rest of porkie here. Every page is filled with Pork, Pork and more Pork.
As if the menu is not enough to state how super NON-HALAL the restaurant is, the whole restaurant made its statement loud and clear all right.
A collection of porkie pichas. All so dem cute kan?
Love this the most! To me, it sends the message that after the camera flashes, they are all roasted! *evil grin*
The roasted image is some what similar to this:
Crispy Bacon (8 pieces) @ RM9.00
We ordered some side dishes for starters while waiting for our porkie main dishes. This crispy bacon comes in 8 pieces and they are bacon deep fried and caramelized for crispy satisfaction. This one is best! So dem nice!
Pig-in-a-blanket @ RM12.00
We ordered the Pig-in-a-blanket as recommended by the waitress. The pork cocktail sausages are wrapped in bacon and oven cooked. SO DEM NICE WEI!
"Dog Food" @ RM9.00
Before entering the restaurant, we were asked to wait for the table to be ready. While waiting, the GRA crews were talking about Dog Food. During the time, I thought they were talking about their pet’s food. When we made our orders, they shouted Dog Food. So, I went through the menu, and true enough, there’s “Dog Food” in it. Human edible Dog Food for the price of RM9.
We had a few plates of this on our long table.
This dog food is not the dog food you actually feed your dogs. =..= It’s fries drenched in special American gravy, topped with loaaaaaads of cheese and oven cooked. Turns out to look like a fries cheese pie. *laughs*
Verdict: This one is a must have. *human eating dog food*
Dem cheesy kan?
Aglio Olio with Mushrooms @ RM13.50
For mains, we get to choose from pasta, sandwich to just meat. Quite a number of the group ordered the Aglio Olio with Mushroom. When the pasta reached the table, I can see why many ordered this. Looks decent and obviously delicious.
Don’t be deceived by the name, the spaghetti has a mix of in olive oil, garlic, mushrooms and BACONS.
SloppyJoe @ RM12.00
Hamburger is the famous food in America. Of course they have it here too. There are various types of sandwich/burgers in the menu. The SloppyJoe is one of them. This is an extraordinary kind. The pattie is actually in this bowl of gravy consists of of ground pork, onions, ketchup and other seasonings. The gravy is served with buns and fries.
Pork Chops with Country gravy @ RM23.00
From the menu, there are 3 types of Pork Chops to choose from; Pork Chops with Apples, Pork Chops with Orange Cream and Pork Chops with Country Gravy (in case you don’t like fruit *LOL*)
They serve really big piece of pork chop here. Well grilled and served with traditional brown gravy – the country gravy. Those who had this were gobbling this in their own world.
Soft Ribs @ RM29.50
Some of us, like me, love to try good stuff only. So, we asked for their signature dish or most popular dish in the menu. It is said that the restaurant is known for its Pork Ribs. Thus, a few of us ordered the Soft Ribs.
ribs are marinated in special sauce and then rubbed (massaged) to add the flavours into the meat. The ribs are deep fried to succulent crispness.
The pork ribs are so delicious. Juicy, succulent yet crispy. Yums~
Mixed Sausage Platter @ RM35.00
From the “More American Favourites” section of the menu, you get this Mixed Sausage Platter. It’s more pricey than the pork ribs but you get to sample a combination of a grilled Bratwurst, Munich, Cheese and Pepper sausage. These sausages are served with fries and our house coleslaw.
Root Beer @ RM6.00
Apart from American style porkie, they also serve American drinks, Root Beer.
They have various imported drinks and one of them is this Thomas Kemper Root Beer.
Tastes very very different from the A&W root beer we always get from A&W fastfood restaurant or the supermarket. This is the real deal.
Budweiser @ RM12.00
They also have this American lager, Budweiser.
The price for the food and beverages are reasonable, worth visiting again. As said above, I’d like to try their other porkie dishes to go with their American lager. *hoho*
Service is pretty fast and the place gets packed every single weekend (so I heard)!
Better make reservations to avoid disappointments.
