LWIN LEE |BERT’S CAFÉ @ SHAH ALAM
Seems like
another pleasant café has bloomed up at the Shah Alam neigbourhood over a year
ago and progressively become the fave place to hang out for folks of nearby and
afar. Bert’s Café, a humble and cozy establishment which
is initially borned out of the idea from Robert, is currently operated as
family business, with the supportive help from its siblings as well as their
mother, who is a really good cook.
Since opening in
Jan 2014, the culinary maestro has become the main menu approver, which
explains why most of the dishes inspiration comes from the Northern Malaysia
influence as reflected in those homey recipes which we shall revealed soon.
Interior design
is kept simple and straightforward, with some vibrant corner occasionally.
Guests could also choose to enjoy the fresh air at the al fresco seating too.
CREAMY BUTTER CHICKEN (MYR 14.90)
Boneless chicken
tossed in creamy cili padi butter sauce that calls more addiction. Each of the
deboned meat is juicily toothsome, crispy on the outside while remaining moist
within. No wonder it’s the best seller at this café. Yum yum!
Another
signature includes……
MOI (MYR 9.90)
It’s actually a warm
rice congee cooked with anchovies mixed with dried chili, salted radish, salted
egg and soy sauce. Simply wholesome!
NASI LEMAK (MYR 14.90)
Created earnestly
with honey-spiced fried chicken, sambal ikan bilis, sliced cucumber and hard
boiled egg, this dish never fails to delight my taste buds with its fragrant
coconut rice especially the lip-smacking good sambal that is not overly spicy
but comes with some sweetness in it.
KARI KAPITEN (MYR 13.90)
This is actually
a nostalgic dish during Sara’s childhood time, where it is deliciously cooked
by Sara’s mom uniquely with their own-style recipe. The tender chicken cutlets
are served in spicy tomato based gravy that is made smoother with the addition
of coconut milk. Served with rice or garlic toast.
MEE KUAH (MYR 13.90)
Yellow noodles served in sweet potato based gravy
with sliced beef, shrimp, egg and vegetables. At one point of time, it does
remind me of savory Mee Jawa (=
SPICY SQUID SPAGHETTI (MYR 12.90)
Al dente
spaghetti woofed up with springy squid rings, carrots and spiced up with some
cili padi to awaken your palate (= Added with some grated cheese to enhance the
overall flavor with some light cheesiness.
CUCUR UDANG (MYR 7.90)
Bite-sized prawn
fritters that are delectably light and not too oily, served with homemade chili
and gula Melaka sauce. A good blend of sweet-spiciness.
ROTI JALA (MYR 7.90)
The roti jala or
rather ‘netted bread’, comes with beef curry.
SAGO GULA MELAKA (MYR 5.90)
Chilled sago in
evaporated milk and gula Melaka. Old-time favourite!
Some chillers to
quench the thirst on a sweltering day.
MANGO SELASIH (MYR 6)
Sweet mango
bites goes perfectly well with the basil seeds.
ICED SHAKEN LATTE (MYR 12)
Smooth and aromatically milky, slurps!
STRAWBERRY CHOCOLATE (MYR 12)
Fruity berries
tinge blending in with chocolate richness
using premium choc from Coffex.
PEACH TEA (MYR 8)
PASSIONFRUIT TEA (MYR 8)
LIME + MINT (MYR 8)
And more frizz for you to choose from (=
Or some cuppa to
sooth the throat.
LATTE (MYR 9)
Freshly brewed
from beans of Coffex Mokka blend
Of course, not
forgetting their notable homemade dessert selections.
S’MORES (MYR 9.90)
Crushed and
buttered digestive biscuits with chocolate and roasted marshmallows topped with
chocolate syrup. Reminds me of the similar chucks I had at Gyu-kaku previously
too (=
RISTRETTO ICE CREAM (MYR 9.90)
Homemade
brownies topped with vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup and ground nuts
If you ask me
what’s my fave pick among all the sweet tooth teasers? This is the best bet! (=
MERINGUE SUNDAE (MYR 10.90)
Crushed meringue
with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, topped with fruits, chocolate syrups
and ground nuts. The meringue is made inhouse. No sugar added in the whipping
cream, hence liking it so much as it’s not that cloyingly sweet. It’s really a
rare occasion where I absolutely would indulge in these sweet delights.
Overall, it’s a
good and relaxing place to chill out with buddies alike, to catch up over chatters
while accompanied by a good spread of heartfelt grubs. Look out for their
meringues whenever you’re here (=
