Bert's is a family-owned cafe, where all dishes are crafted with love and passed down by generations. Bert's operation is currently lead by Sarah and her husband, with the help of her mum and family members in various roles including the kitchen line.
The owners of Bert's are closely related to the founders of Wondermilk, thus the similarity in cheerful vibes and positive lovely atmosphere can be detected in Bert's.
Bert's serves up an array of drinks: from coffee, to tea, to mocktails, chocolate drink, sodas and more. Bert's uses Coffex beans (Arabica & Robusta) for their coffee as for now.
Bert's best-seller. Generous chunks of tender fried chicken served with creamy butter milk sauce. My favourite dish at Bert's! The butter milk was really creamy and flavourful! And the best part is Bert's is really generous on the chunks of tender fried chicken. Yumm
Rice porridge with anchovies, dried chili, salted raddish, salted egg and soy sauce. A Northern Peninsular Malaysia local delight. Not your typical porridge, the Moi has a savoury & spicy kick with a tinge of sweetness to it. I find the porridge rather enjoyable, with the contrasting texture of the crispy anchovies.
The sambal was on the sweeter side.
Yellow noodles in sweet potato based gravy with sliced beef, shrimp, egg and vegetables.
"Bergedil" green pea soup. Served with garlic toast or white rice.
Chicken in spicy tomato based gravy and coconut milk. Served with garlic toast or white rice.
The Kari "Kapten" is not a curry, despite having the word "Kari" in its name. Not to be mistaken as Kapitan Curry, the Kari "Kapten" has been a long Hari Raya traditional food for Sarah and her family. A secret recipe passed down from generation.
The Kari "Kapten" has a thick consistency and leaned more towards the sweet and sour side.
Spicy Squid Spaghetti RM12.90
Spaghetti and squid cooked with green chili padi & shredded carrots.
Warning: Really spicy! Do request for a less spicier version if you can't take spiciness!
AKA Net bread, if directly translated. Roti Jala is basically a Malaysian version of the French crepe, served with beef curry.
Deep-fried prawn fritters served with homemade spicy chili & garam masala sauce. An chewy and addictive snack to go with your main.
Chilled sago in evaporated milk and Gula Melaka
Condensed milk used instead of coconut milk, hence I felt that the dessert was somewhat lacking. Nevertheless, the Sago Gula Melaka was a refreshing & enjoyable dessert which wasn't too heavy for the palate.
Crushed and buttered digestive biscuit crumbs with chocolate and roasted marshmallow, drizzled with chocolate sauce.
A shot of ristretto poured over crushed meringue with vanilla ice-cream and whipped cream, topped with crushed peanuts & chocolate syrup.
I find the sweetness alright and not overly overwhelming, it balances off perfectly with the bitterness of the Ristretto. Though I thought the whipped cream was tad cloying.
Crushed meringue with vanilla ice-cream and whipped cream, topped with fruits, chocolate syrup and crushed nuts.
A caffeine-free & a slightly sweeter version of the Ristretto Sundae. A delight to the sweet-tooth in you.
Verdict: A very cozy place to spend the weekend or a dessert date with friends and family, with homey and reasonably priced food! Ample parking available too :)
