Acme @ The Troika

Finally we get the chance to dine in Acme Bar & Coffee, ABC in short. I wanted to try their food so badly as everyone is talking about it. They serve a la carte as well as set lunch with soup and salad. Nice place, but staff lacking smile on her face (the one without uniform, staff leader? manager? whatever)

Prawn bisque soup

Beetroot & apple salad

Breaded chicken leg (set lunch RM49) - served with cauliflower, fries & herb cream sauce. Tastes like Taiwanese fried chicken chop. Speechless...

Grilled butter fish (set lunch RM49) - served with green bean, boiled potato and spicy 'alamak' sauce. Alamak was more to my liking, a little bit too salty but not bad.

Sambal hebi aglio olio spaghetti (RM29) - Dry shrimp spicy sambal with fresh prawns and a dash of olive oil. This is what it looks when Italian meets Malaysian. Looks tempting and spicy? It's exactly what it looks like.

Smoked duck breast pasta (RM 35) - Spaghetti carbonara with smoked duck breast topped with parmesan. Surprisingly good!

Fruit & Ice Granita (RM15/glass) - 'Almost sugarless'(I think) fruit smoothies. Both mango and apple flavor taste bland, too bland

Cempedak cake (RM15) - We were really looking forward to tasting the famed cempedak cake, but my high expectation let me down. Nothing more than a sponge cake with aromatic cempedak cream, nothing seems to impress me us. Undoubtedly unique but overrated!
