Betty’s Midwest Kitchen offers a range of the Midwest cuisine, from light foods and soups to hearty meals all in one place. Do expect to wait for a table if you do come on the weekends as they do not take bookings.
The interior is decorated with many pictures and posters of the different states in the US and at dinner time was buzzing with the large crowd inside and outside of the restaurant.
For starters, we had “dog food”, a combination of fries, cheese and thick gravy. If you are looking for a healthy meal, you’d best look somewhere else since we are going to be covering a lot of fried goodness! Served in a bowl that somewhat resembles a dog bowl, this dish satisfies your munchies while you wait for the rest of the meal to come. I have to say though that the service was extraordinary. All the dishes came out in no less than 10 minutes which goes to show that the restaurant is well organised.
The meat loaf at Betty’s Midwest Kitchen comes with a side of mashed potatoes, caramelized onions, and green peas. I found that the texture of the meat loaf was very soft and juicy, however, slightly on the sweet side. There is also a sauce with you can pour over the meatloaf. The mashed potatoes are covered in a thick and creamy gravy oozing with goodness. I am sure that you will savour every bite of it.
The hot dog was not too bad. You can choose to douse the hot dog in mustard and ketchup, top it off with some relish, or just eat it plain. Served in a basket under a bed of fries, you have the choice of a beef (veal) or pork sausage.
This is my favourite dish for the night. The baby back ribs, lightly charred on the outside, tender on the inside. The gravy comes separately so you can eat it natural with the juices or add extra flavour to an already flavoruful dish.
The country fried chicken was decent, and similar with other dishes, it came with the creamy mashed potatoes. I found it delicious to dip the chicken in the mashed potato gravy.
Their pumpkin pie is has an interesting taste to it and is complimented well with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. We shared dessert and half the people of the table enjoyed it while half found the taste rather peculiar, so it really ends up depending on personal preference.
The apple crumble is a sweet way to end the meal, with two scoops of ice cream! There are crunchy corn flakes sprinkled on top of the crumble (which at first does not look too appealing) which give it a bit of a bite. This is more like comfort food at the end of a big meal.

I tried their pork chops with orange sauce and a thick slab of grilled tender pork loin call Boston Butt (what a name!) before. Nice food!

Their dog food is my fav entree. The sauce is so good that we usually clear it with extra fries from other dishes.
The meatloaf also is the best in town.

I actually prefer the pork chop… I think i like the sweet/savoury sauce… but after I eat a meal there I’m stuffed and feel like a pig and just want to sleep. haha.

Good attempt at American food. Best attempt I’ve seen in Malaysia but still not American food. Still has the Malaysian touch. You don’t eat gravy on ribs and I don’t understand why the hot dog was ruined with the mustard and ketchup squirted all over the bun. It’s impossible to eat. By the way, I’m American. I’m sure this is good enough for Malaysians but I’ll stick with Malaysian food in Malaysia
And news alert to all Malaysians: there’s no such thing as a chicken chop in America. TOTALLY made up. Kinda like Chinese food in America
