Please reach us at talktous@lilbirdbigbear.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Our menu is inspired through our extensive F&B experience and travels to foodie nations such as Australia, the UK and Italy, so you will primarily find popular menu items from these regions here.
We get this one a lot - We do not have a halal certification, yet, although this is something we are actively looking to pursue down the road. However, all of our ingredients for cooking are obtained through commonly sourced halal suppliers in the F&B industry. We also do not serve pork or use alcohol in any of our cooking here.
Due to growing requests from a lot of our customers in the recent years, we now serve a small variety of bottled beers, cider and bottled wines for customers who prefer to pair their meals with them.
We are coffee addicts!
FRESHLY ROASTED & FRESHLY GROUNDED COFFEE BEANS
We use freshly roasted coffee beans that we ground and prepare on the spot, upon order. Our coffees are sourced from independent coffee roasters and we use arabica beans that hails from renowned coffee producing countries such as Ethiopia, Colombia and Brazil. With every cup of coffee here, you are benefiting from all the flavour profiles and the variety of vitamins, and nutrients, that coffee beans are suppose to nourish us with, first hand. Freshly roasted coffee beans have roast dates printed on their labels, instead of expiry dates, and this is because it is best consumed within two months from the date the green beans are roasted.
NO UHT - ONLY FRESH PASTEURIZED MILK
Similarly, we only use pure pasteurized fresh milk here which further elevates the flavours, taste profile and coffee drinking experience.
We do not use UHT milk for our coffees, although UHT milk is more commonly used throughout the industry and often mistaken for fresh milk. UHT milk is processed through ultra high temperatures, which allows it to last much longer for commercial reasons, but what this process does, other than change the milk's flavour and colour, is it strips the milk of its natural nutritional values and benefits - the nutritional values that you see on UHT milk labels are added back in later and this is why we avoid using them, other than the extremely apparent difference in flavour from pure pasteurized fresh milk.
So be rest assured that when you're having our coffees, you're getting the best the world has to offer, coffee-wise.
We are open from 10AM to 11PM daily. Please note that last call from the kitchen is around 10PM. We start closing duties at around 10.15PM but you're welcome to stay on until closing time if you don't mind all the cleaning that will be taking place around you.
You may click the reservation tabs here on our website or social media pages, or simply call 03 8011 6311 and we'll attend to you. Reservations are on a first come first serve basis and we highly recommend it especially during weekends and public holidays.
Unfortunately, we are unable to hold events, operationally, and we just do not have the capacity to do so. We do take reservations for about 10 pax or so, maximum, for smaller events such as birthdays, etc, but please note that we do not have a specialized or packaged menu in catering for such events and you will be required to order off our standard menu, if so.
