Dark Vader and "Hot" Chick OK Oct 26, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Restaurant | Burgers / Sandwiches

At present, there are uncountable burger joints in town serving decent burgers. Not sure if you know there is one in Kota Damansara too, the Bert's Jr. Gourmet Burger.

 
The first thing which caught my eyes when I step into Bert's Jr. Gourmet Burger was the colourful artwork on the wall. A really big piece of wall art done by a group of volunteered art college students. After several attempts to capture the whole piece of wall art by using the iPad panorama app, it turns out to be quite good with exception there is one part which blurry a little bit due to the light reflection.

 
Here is another photo to show you the interior of Bert's Jr. Gourmet Burger restaurant. The design is rather simple with no special theme. Please take note that you have to go to the counter to place your order and make payment. For your information, Bert's Jr. does not serve pork or alcohol on its menu. They serve only beef, lamb, fish and chicken.

 
Another good piece of art on the wall located next to the counter.

 
There are seven burgers under "The Big Eat" menu, burgers with special name which specially crafted for your craving: Dark Vader, Steamed beef burger, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Jaw Breaker, Grill'd Chicken, "Hot" Chick and Finding Dory (those in bold are the top sellers). Prices range from RM 13.90 to RM 21.90 for regular size, RM 9.90 to RM 17.90 for small size. You can add another RM 5 to make it a combo which comes with a soft drink and a side order.

"Hot" Chick RM 14.90 and the side dish, steakhouse fries. A burger of grilled chicken thigh marinated with black pepper sauce topped with chicken mushroom cold cuk and cheddar cheese, egg, green leaves, peeled tomato and caramelized onions. The buns were soft but best with charcoal bun. The grilled chicken thigh surprisingly turned out to be quite soft and juicy. The black pepper sauce somehow does not taste the same as any other black pepper sauce out there, not too pepper-ish. The other ingredients, especially the egg, added another flavour to the burger which make the burger overall an awesome combination. My friend enjoyed the burger very much. I never like chicken thigh burger this much too. Not to forget to mention, the fries were served fresh.

 

 
Dark Vader RM 16.90. A 200g premium beef patty burger topped with beef pepperoni cold cuk mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese, green leaves, peeled tomato and caramelized onions. As for the side dishes, we opted for coleslaw and potato croquette. The beef patty is made of minced beef, hence it is really soft. Savoury, however, not juicy enough. There are two types of cheese but still the cheesiness not up to my satisfaction. Overall, this burger is still desirable. As for the cold coleslaw and potato croquette, they both taste good.

 

 
I will visit Bert's Jr. Gourmet Burger again for their Baa Baa Black Sheep because there are so many good comments on this burger.

Coffee time at Butter + Beans OK Oct 04, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Café | Sweets/Snack

Lately, I have been seeing so many pictures and friends check in at Butter + Beans. After surfing the internet only I know coffee and freshly baked pastries are what they are famous for.

 
So, I decided to drop by for the coffee as well as Ernest Zacharevic wall painting.

 
Butter + Beans is rather small (the size) as compared to other cafe. Three quarter of space inside is occupied by the pastries/coffee station. With that, you can imagine very limited seats are available. There are only two small wooden tables and one long table inside the cafe which I think can fit maximum only 8 persons. There are another 3 tables outside the cafe. Free wifi is available.

 
The most eye-catching decoration in the cafe would be the huge bear and drink menu drawing by chalk.

 
They have been featured in Time Out Kuala Lumpur.

 
Mocha RM 11. I like this mocha from the first sip to the end. I'm not a regular heavy coffee drinker and I barely accept coffee which is bitter. However, the taste of this mocha just nice for me to cope with - neither not too sweet nor too bitter.

 
Cappuccino RM 9. Rich tasting and hence the bitterness. Not so pleasing to my taste buds but my friend likes it this way.

 
Raspberry orchid cake which caught my attention (RM10). Slightly dry and "powdery" but delicious. Besides cakes, Butter + Beans is offering a varieties of freshly baked pastries and breads such as croissant, Raspberry tart, cinnamon roll, fig tart etc.

 
 
Recommended Dish(es):  Mocha,Raspberry orchid cake
 
Spending per head: Approximately RM20(下午茶)

Good place for a brunch retreat Smile Jan 12, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Café | Burgers / Sandwiches

The Good Batch, one of the cafe which being featured as the top 10 brunch cafe in The Star newspaper, is definitely a place that worth checking out. We were there on a Saturday night for dinner.

This cafe is quite spacious. With cemented floor, wooden tables and dim lighting, it provides a calm and relaxing environment for you to dine in.

 
After a glance at their menu, then only we discover they are offering all-day breakfast/brunch dishes as well as a few after 6pm mains, desserts, coffee, juices and alcohol beverages (Not to forget to mention, this cafe has an all-day bar). Although with quite limited options, all the food items in the menu sound delectable (especially those egg-laden breakfast platters).

Caffe Latte (RM 8.50).
Not too sweet, not too bitter, and to my brother liking.
Between, complimentary water is given to all the dine-in customers.

 
The "Ang Moh" (RM 25.90)
Consists of two softly scrambled organic eggs, streaky beef bacon, grilled chicken sausage, ripened cherry tomatoes, baked "Portobello" mushroom, pan fried potatoes, dad's baked beans and lightly toasted bread. We like the scrambled eggs as they are softly set, slightly runny in places and moist in texture. The streaky beef bacon was irresistible, it wasn't the crispy type, not too hard in texture and most importantly not salty. The cherry tomatoes were juicy and the pan fried potatoes were tasted really good, slight crispy on the outside yet perfectly done on the inside.

 
The baked "Portobello" mushroom which served together with The "Angmoh". One of the best baked mushroom we ever tasted, great tasting, juicy and we like its dense flavour.

 
Hang Over Mess (RM 20.90)
Corned beef mixed with pan-fried potatoes and capsicums, topped with two sunny side-up and drizzled with herb-infused Hollandaise. Portion was considered small although with quite generous amount of potatoes and corned beef. The sunny side-up was good, especially when you eat it with the Hollandaise sauce. However, the corned beef hash texture wasn't really pleasant to us in term of the tenderness (too soft), but it goes very well with the pan-fried potatoes.

 
The Italian Job (RM 24.90)
A creamy Portobello mushroom risotto topped with poached egg. The poached egg was perfect and good. The same goes to the Portobello mushroom, so good in taste and juicy. The risotto was made with cheese and it was smooth, creamy and oozy. A thumbs up for this dish, although the portion was quite small.

 
New Yorker (RM 23.90)
Version of hotdog with a twist, topped with corned beef, completed with a mix of their homemade sauces, served with a side of chips. Hotdog was just normal, corned beef was the same as those served in Hangover Mess, the chips were good and in overall, this dish wasn't a bad try.

 
The Good Stuff (RM24.90)
A mouth-watering dessert which looks appetizing. This freshly baked toast with mangoes was lightly dusted with powdered sugar and paired with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. One of the best sweet dessert we ever tried.

 
Awesome place for a brunch retreat, although price is on a higher side.

3 Little Pigs (RM15.90). Main signature pork burger topped with streaky bacon, ham, caramelized onions and melted cheese. Two thumbs up for this. The minced pork is so juicy. Even though they use only normal bun for the burger, but together with all of the ingredients in combination make this pork burger an awesome one and heavenly taste. Surprisingly the presence of bacon doesn't make the pork burger tastes too salty. I'm in love and I can't resist it. I will definitely visit again for this. Not to forget to mention, this burger is served with fries and vegetables too. The fries is just like any other ordinary fries, nothing so special.

 
I purposely cut it into half and snapped a picture of it. U can see very clearly from this photo what's in each layer from the top to bottom. The melted cheese, the pork, the bacon, the ham, tomato and vege. Awesomeness!

Good desserts Smile Dec 06, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Chinese | Café | Desserts

As shown in the picture below, the design of their menu damn nice, simple yet cute. They claimed that they are the award winning dessert from Hong Kong. They serves a varieties of desserts, from hot to cold one. For those who adore desserts, you should visit and give a try.

 
Peanut cream (RM5.80), one of the traditional hot dessert that my friend decided to order. Guess he likes peanut very much. If I was him, I would go for black sesame cream. But this peanut cream is good, thick and with peanut aroma. My friend likes it and I like it too.

 
Double-boiled papaya with snow fungus (RM8.80). I ordered this because I want to eat the snow fungus as well as the papaya. But apparently the papaya a bit tasteless perhaps after boiled it loses its juicy taste. But overall, it is still good and not too sweet.

 
Glutinous rice ball with black sesame and peanut toppings (RM4.80). Guess you should know the reason(s) we ordered this. My friend likes peanut and I like black sesame and this dessert would be a great combination. And within my expectation, this is good. The glutinous ball is chewy and the toppings are great in taste! Not too sweet!

 
'
I felt satisfied with the desserts. I'm going to visit again for the snow ice desserts! Their desserts are good and the price is reasonable.
