Betty's Midwest Kitchen @ Aman Suria PJ

Holla all. I've been dying to try out Betty's since I stumbled upon a food blog review on it some time back.

One sunny Saturday afternoon, I dragged along two friends of mine to give this place a go. They have both been there before, so the whole reason they agree to come along was also because they were forcefully coerced to, by me.

Betty's Midwest Kitchen

I arrived at about 11.30am and the place was half full. Managed to get myself a seat inside so that I can shy away from the afternoon heat. I think there's about 20 tables all in all, 5 outside and 15 inside. By the time I left, which was at about 1pm, the place was already packed to the brim. There was even people waiting for tables. Needless to say, the waiter prompted us for our last order before we could foot the bill and leave.


Upon ordering, we waited for about 10 minutes before the food arrived. Service was quite prompt.

Pork chop with country gravy. Rm23.00.

At first sight, I thought they got my order wrong. Gravy should be brown in color right? Apparently not in Midwest terms. My order came with 2 slices of pork chop laced with thick country gravy with mashed potato, peas and caramelised onions. 

The first pork chop was tender and juicy but once I sliced through the second one, it was way overdone and touch, to the extend that it was quite hard to slice through. I was quite disappointed. The sides on the other hand, was pretty decent. The mash potato was done just right, its texture was creamy and just the way I liked it.

Dog Food. Rm10.00.

This was Da Bomb. Generous portion of golden brown french fries topped with cheese and oven-ed to perfection. It was crispy but not burn and I really enjoyed the slightly burn bits on the side. No wonder they named this Dog food, you eat straight out from a aluminum plate and it was that good. My friends did not order anything else besides this (since they already had lunch like that). It was heavy enough and can be a meal in itself.

Overall Rating: 6.5/10 purely for the dog food and location. This place is quite easy to spot since its directly facing the mainroad when you turn into Aman Suria. Downgraded because of subpar pork chop that I got. Would pay this place a visit again just to get my fix of Dog Food and perhaps to try out their Meatloaf and Pork ribs.

Andes BYO @ Aman Suria

18/6/2011

I have been and still am unwell. There's a deadly flu bug looming around the office for the past couple of weeks now, the so-called "unfortunate ones" caught on, whilst many just bypass with an occasional cough or two. Just the other day, I was boasting to my then-sick colleagues that I have this super amazing immune system, which will be able to withstand any flu bug, whether through air or through well... saliva. Thanks to Good Ol' Karma and my big mouth that is, I am now part of the antibiotic gang.

Sorry for the bad bad quality of the pictures taken.

Visited this place called Andes, located along the main road at Aman Suria, which was featured in Ho-Chak awhile back.

One of its signature dishes is the infamous Pork burger. An apparent favorite among patrons and some claims that it's also the best pork burger around.

At the point of time, I wasn't feeling Burger-ish, or so I call it. I decided to go with the Pork chop.

Pork Chop. +/- Rm17.90.

It was pretty decent. Being boneless, it was a huge plus for me (Coz I'm lazy like that). The meat was cooked well and was juicy on the inside. That said, what I don't like about it was the too-crumbly and too-thick batter, which constitutes 2/3 layer of the pork chop already. (The meat was thin like that) The chips also seemed half cooked, wasn't golden-brown looking and apetizing at all. The guys love this though.

Porky Pork Grill. Rm17.90.

  

I like this version more! (Coz there was no crispy batter and just pure meat!). This, was cooked to tender perfection. The meat was well done, not overly chewy and not to mention juicy.

Pardon me for suddenly being so vain, but I just got my new hair cut and am absolutely loving it.



Overall Rating: 6.5/10 for the pork chop. In my personal opinion, this place is slightly overrated and is probably made popular by its pork burger only. That said, I will definitely revisit just to try that out.
