Looking for lunch closer to the city? Acme's weekday afternoon sets might be an option. For (an arguably too-steep) RM49++, customers can enjoy a light, well-prepared meal, with salads, soups, main courses and desserts changing each week. This recent set comprised small cups of a cherry tomato salad and white onion soup with parsley and sour cream, followed by breaded sole fish with mashed potatoes, peas and tomato coulis.

Folks who have too little time for a set meal can opt for something from Acme's Too Late For Breakfast menu, like the double-yolk delight of this turkey ham and cheese bechamel toast topped with fried eggs, beetroot and leaves (RM25++).

Acme's cakes are always tempting too, laid for all to see on the counter; the chocolate chip one is OK, though less richly sumptuous than some might hope.

The wicked juxtaposed against the wholesome: Dirty Martini, cold as ice, and Tea Forte Antioxidant honey yuzu tea, hot as a furnace.

There was no stopping us from grabbing 2 slices of cake for the taste! We took the 2 most interesting-looking ones, one of which was the Coconut Bounty Cake (RM 15). This had a great marriage of light white and milk chocolate mousse and coconut shavings on top, much like its namesake candy bar. The mousse was creamy and fluffy, and the light sponge layers in between weren't too sweet. The coconut shavings were a decadent topping as well, adding in that extra crunch of texture.

The other slice was of course the Cempedak Pistachio Cake (RM 15). We had read so much about this that we weren't going to let it go just because of a small issue like a full stomach! The cream turned out tasting very strongly of the sweet, fragrant cempedak fruit but it was toned down by the presence of the light pandan layers, with just a subtle pandan flavour. If you have friends looking for something different, or if you want to wow the family with a unique cake for a celebration, this Cempedak Cake may be for you. =D

Spotting snails on the menu, I had to have some especially when these are Grilled "Bacon" Wrapped Snails! The menu didn't say how many snails there were in one serving, but we counted about 11 snails in the plate.At a price of RM 17, we realized these were cheaper than usual.

The escargots were cooked just nice, springy instead of rubbery, and the bacon bits were nicely crispy around the edges. The accompanying garlic parsley sauce was also really flavourful and rich. However, the rest of them did think that this dish was a bit too salty for their liking. I suspect it was because of the bacon, but I had no problems with it at all. =D

One tapas seemed too little for 4 hungry mouths, so we also ordered a serving of their Burnt Cauliflower (RM 13) off their sides menu to share.

The name sounds weird (after all since when does any food sound good burnt?), but trust me when I say this burnt taste actually turns normal cauliflower into something more special! The cauliflower was cooked till tender yet still juicy, but contained a slight smoky flavour due to the charred bits. When eaten together with the light-tasting yogurt, it turned out to be a great combination. This snack ended up tasting just perfect. For once, I had no trouble with my vegetables. =P

Cakes for dessert are aplenty at ACME too! One thing we find unsettling though - is it proper to leave cakes lying uncovered all day? I hate to imagine the day someone has an uncontrollable sneeze just as he/she is standing in front of all that dessert. Perhaps ACME should invest in some covers at least, if only to assure us a bit more about the cleanliness and freshness of the product..Be that as it may, there was no stopping us from grabbing 2 slices of cake for the taste!

We were wondering how strong the flavour would be, and the cempedak cream did turn out to be quite strong, amidst the subtler pandan cake layers.

As it turned out, this was a very good recommendation. Perhaps the lamb shank is just as good, but at least now we know the lamb shoulder at ACME has a good dose of meat and is well seasoned with a sweet yet spicy marinade, with dark soy sauce or kicap being a key ingredient. But the main actor can only be so good with the right supporting cast, which in this case came in the form of buttered peas and fries that balanced out the lamb perfectly.

Last but not least, I went for the Grilled Grass Fed Ribeye Steak (RM57).

Medium at ACME is certainly done well (pardon the pun), with the pink-reddish hue spread all through the centre of the meat. While we couldn't find any fault in the preparation, there remains something to be said about the strong harissa marinade (a spice rub usually consisting of cumin and coriander, amongst other spices; we tasted some star anise in this as well) that ACME uses; purists might say it drowns out the flavour of the beef, so don't come here expecting a simple slab of meat.

We struggled with this towards the end, and I knew why - it was extremely filling because of the extreme creaminess of the soup. The broth was thick with lots of fish chunks and onions, high reminiscent of asam laksa. Overall it would have been much better had the soup been thinner, but this is good too for those who love the creamy stuff. =)

Dad had the Beef Bourguignon (RM 33), a braised beef stew-like concoction with carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms which sounded a bit plain and simple to have at ACME, but then sometimes simple food can be just as fulfilling! ACME whips up a mean Beef Bourguignon, with generous chunks red wine braised of beef that are soft and tender to the bite. An extremely hearty and satisfying dish, but I found myself wishing for some bread or pastry to mop up the sauce!

It's impossible to see any of the interior from the double doors outside, but step inside ACME and you will be at ease with the familiar setup of modern western dining. Square tables line up against the large windows that give a clear view to the outside while cushioned seats further inside provide a leisurely ambiance suitable for all. Even though the place was quite packed when we went on a Sunday night, it still felt like we had discovered a hidden gem of a restaurant amidst the urban jungle

The menu didn't say how many snails there were in one serving, but we counted about 11 snails in the plate.

my brunch. waited quite long for the dish to be served.
In this cafe you can easily find smoked duck dishes. Kinda salty due to the cheese and smoked duck but the thick tomato slices in it make it better.

The food here is kinda on a high price range (especially the tea!), but the environment is one of the best in KL! and I notice that they have sunday brunch buffet as well. those who love to eat more on holiday can opt for that.
