Betty's Midwest Kitchen

This was a backdated post for the month of May. I was looking thru friend's picture on some eateries and found this small gem - Betty's Midwest Kitchen which offers American food. What else after looking at their yummylicious picture, Hubby and I invited our usual 'Makan Kakis' aka CW and LYH for dinner. Note: Please come early if you don't want to wait as the restaurant has limited tables.

So we were there early around 6.20pm. Luckily for us, the restaurant was not packed yet. As we were seated, the diners crowd had started to come in. Phew phew! Lucky for us to be a bit early. The ambience in the restaurant was kinda homely. Pictures and paintings related to America were displayed there and did I mentioned that they served PORK as well. Yummy yummy..

Their menu.

Lemonade - RM 2.50

Root Beer (RM5) - it's recommended according to the menu but I had tasted it, nothing special. It's similar like any Root Beer served outside.

Dog Food aka Gravy Fries (RM7.50) - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. It's so cheeselicious and delicious.

Classical Meatloaf (RM15) - recommended. It's tender and every bit of it was filled with Meat, Meat and Meat.

Pork Chop with C. Gravy (RM20) - CW commented it was okay.

Pork Chop with Apple Sauce (RM20) - LYH don't quite like the taste. Maybe because it was a bit sweet to his preference. For those who love apple crumble, the sauce tasted similar.

Jucy Lucy (RM13.50) - RECOMMENDED. Nice and juicy pork patty.

The verdict: Recommended for western food lovers who wanted a great meal without a 'damaging' price tag. I WILL COME FOR MORE!

Crocodile Rock Restaurant

Our whole family decided to go and try something different for dinner. Since Mum and Dad rarely take western food, we decided to go to Crocodile Rock Restaurant in Kuantan. The restaurant was actually a one storey bungalow setup restaurant. You can opt to sit indoor or outdoor once you were inside but being an air-cond person like me, of course I'll choose indoor. (I wanna be eating the food and not being food to the mosquitoes in the area especially during night time.... :D )

One big happy family.... :)

The entrance of the restaurant.

Their menu.

Ordering food for our parents are definitely a 'hard' task since both of them don't really fancy anything that is cheesy and Dad (not a beef or lamb lover). Thus we had ordered a grilled chicken for Dad and salmon steak for Mum. Both commented their main dishes were good. As for me, I had ordered Carbonara Spaghetti, Hubby ordered Beef Burger, Sis ordered Rib-Eye Steak and Pizza Margherita for all of us to share. Overall, the dining experience is the place is good. Their setup is cosy and is a good place for friend to dine in and catch up.

Corned Beef with Potatoes and Capsicums

I was reading about this dish in Lily's blog and it prompted me to try it out as well. As usual, I'll googled about the dish to get to know more before I start cooking. There's plenty of ways and ingredients to cook the corned beef. A trip to the nearby grocers and this little can of beef really makes my eye balls poked out. It's kinda expensive in my opinion. Maybe it's because it were imported goods. Therefore, it's slightly more expensive. The corned beef costs me RM12 plus. I had paired the dish with the Savoury Couscous. Hubby commented that both of the dishes goes very well together.

Ingredients

1 can corned beef

1 onion, diced

1 tbsp garlic, minced

1 red capsicums, diced

4 small sized potatoes, diced

1/2 cup corns

black pepper to taste

Methods

1. Add oil to a saucepan. Saute onion and garlic until soft. Add in potatoes and cover the saucepan with lid and leave for few minutes to soften the potatoes.
2. Add in capsicums, corns and corned beef. Stir well until heated through.
3. Add in black pepper to taste and mix well.
4. Serve hot.

Our main meal for dinner...

Empty glass?? Wine plz...

Candles to create more 'feel'.. ? U think so?

We have officially moved in to our new place for almost 4 months now. Being a lazy bum, I have not actually cooked or utilize our new kitchen area after spending a small fortune in that section of our love nest. So today, I decided to cook something special for us. I have been contemplating of trying to dish up steak since last year. Well, better late than never. I had prepared side dishes like mashed potato, roasted tomatoes, mushroom soup (Campbell's) and garlic bread for our main meal. Here's the picture of our first 'home cooked meal'. Bon appetit!
