Acme Bar & Coffee (ABC) – 10 August 2016

My husband decided to bring me to ABC for lunch to celebrate my birthday. This was our 2^nd time here. We were here a few years back when it was first opened.

This restaurant is situated at the side of Troika condominium.

Entrance to ABC

We had a reservation at 1.30pm. As we entered, it was busy and we were ushered to our table. The place was nicely decorated with colourful shaped papers at their windows and bar. The colourful papers were similar to their colourful menu, Samba Samba Paradise Season.

Playing with the coasters while waiting for my food

There was Asian and Western food, but mostly Western food. These were the dishes that we ordered:-

Grilled Marinated Lamb Shoulder in Spicy Kicap Sauce – RM57.00

The portion was very huge with fries and lots of peas. Best to share with another person. The lamb was nicely marinated with spicy kicap sauce. Although it was mentioned spicy, however, it was not spicy for me and it was a kind of sweet and slightly salty sauce. The lamb was very tender and juicy. I highly recommend this dish.

Chicken bowl rice with Miso soup – RM29.00

This was a Japanese dish. The texture of the rice was like sushi rice (sticky), with fried chicken strips, fried onions, pickled radish, sunny-side egg, shredded seaweed and edamame. Once you mix it together with its Japanese sweet soya sauce (inside the bowl of rice), the taste is really nice. Again, quite a big portion for me and I had to request for a doggy bag.

Sizzling Brownie and Oreo ice-cream – RM19.00

I must say this must be their specialty dessert. I loved it the first time I was there and I ordered it again. A hot square brownie on a hot plate, together with 1 scoop of ice-cream, topped with a small slice of strawberry. The waiter will then pour the hot chocolate sauce onto the brownie and I watched it sizzle. Let the brownie cool down before you eat your brownie with ice-cream, otherwise the hot brownie will burn your tongue.

Sizzling Soft Baked Chocolate Cookie with orange vanilla sauce – RM 17.00

The chocolate cookie was alright. It was the same concept as the sizzling brownie; the waiter will pour the orange vanilla sauce onto the cookie. I ate it together with the orange vanilla sauce but I didn’t really like the sauce. To me, it just tasted funny and I don’t think I will order this dessert again. I still love my sizzling brownie.

Shaken Honey Lemon – RM17.00 and Fresh Orange – RM19.00

A must order for the Shaken Honey Lemon as it was super refreshing! The fresh orange was just ordinary.

Long Black Coffee – RM13.00

The service in this cafe was alright. A nice and cozy place to enjoy your meal and afternoon tea.

BBQ Thai Street Food – 11 July 2016

We came here for Steve’s belated birthday dinner. Suet May had to book for a table at 6 p.m. and after booking, we were informed that we could only dine there until 7.45p.m. as there was another reservation at 8.00 p.m.

This restaurant is situated at the side of Old Klang Road and the entrance to the restaurant is very small. There were parking attendants to guide you to your respective parking lot at he sides and back of the restaurants. There were lots of pot holes at the parking lot, so you need to drive slowly.

As we entered, it was pretty busy at 6.20p.m. If you made reservation, they will give you a table in the air-con room and no booking, tables will be outside, i.e. open air.

Our little air-cond dining room

There were so many choices to choose from. The price was reasonable. These were the dishes that we ordered:-

Thai BBQ Pork Neck (RM30.00). Very soft and juicy.

Thai BBQ Lamb (RM25.00). Another of my favourites, the meat is quite tender and well marinated.

Thai Omelette with Oyster (RM25.00). Something very different. The Chinese calls it "Oo Chien". This dish is quite crispy and very unique. Everyone should order and try this

Kang Kong (RM13.00). Nothing to shout about

BQ16 BBQ Pork Ribs (RM48.00). This dish was just alright. Very little meat as you can see from the photos.

Tomyam Seafood Soup, Large (RM28.00). This was one of my favourites. Sweet and Sour spicy just nice to my perfection.

Thai BBQ Salt Baked Talapia (RM40.00). Any fish which is salt baked, I will definitely approve of the taste.

Thai Water Chestnut (RM7.00). Not much jackfruit!!

Look Chcoo (RM12.00). Just like how it taste in the street of Thailand

Mango Sticky Rice with Coconut Milk (RM12.00). Creamy sticky rice that just a few mouthfuls will make you full. You definitely can't finish this after your heavy Thai dinner. Best to share.

The service in this restaurant was fast. Of course, we were reminded by the lady boss that time was up, i.e. 7.45p.m. sharp and they need to clear our dishes to make way for the next customers. If you want to order more food and drinks, you will have to sit at the open air area.
