Good food, good coffee, good ambiance, and good architecture all together.
Obviously I’m a dummy in architecture itself and it will be a very bad decision if I start talking about it.

The Troika is located adjacent to the Kuala Lumpur City Centre Park and world famous Petronas Twin Tower.

Designed by renowned international architects, Foster and Partners, the three-tower developement is set to dazzle the Kuala Lumpur city skyline and the residential marketplace in the Asia Pacific region. Glistening in sheer glass and steel, each unit in this striking and unique building is oriented to enjoy the best views of the beautiful surrounding.

The key architect, Foster and Partners is famed all around the world. Their works include the new German Parliament in the Reichstag, Berlin, The Great Court for the British Musuem, HSBC Headquarters in Hong Kong and London, Commerzbank Headquarters in Frankfurt, the Millau bridge in France and many more. The Troika will be Foster and Partners’ first residential project in Malaysia and one of Malaysia’s first globally branded residential development.

Fatty brought me here and explained whatever he could about this building, The Troika. He is impressed and he really likes it.

I am impressed too, by the stairs. Haha. You just really have to experience the stairs yourself. The picture above cant even do the justice.

The Troika’s lobby.

Not our local mamak ABC. This is AcmeBar & Coffee (ABC).

AcmeBar & Coffee greats you with a raw industrial interior, something I didn’t expect and I must say I like it a lot.
I like raw interior.

Behind this reception area, there’s a bar with a cake display counter.
I should have taken pictures of their cakes, it looks pretty darn good.

Transport yourself in an industrial loft with a hint of vintage nostalgia that is comfortable, cosy and curious with a friendly, casual service style.

High ceiling…

with lots of sunlight during the day, thanks to their floor to ceiling glass walls.

Fatty enjoying the sunlight but the sunlight wasn’t that enjoyable after all because it was too hot!
It would be wonderful if we’re at Melbourne with such interior and food. I could sit there all day long.

Ordered Latte, as usual.

I got myself a set lunch and for each day AcmeBar have a specific set lunch to offer which includes soup, salad, two choices of main dish, and a dessert. All for Rm49++.

Waldorf salad & duck prosciutto : air dried duck prosciutto, walnuts, and green apple.
My first reaction when this bowl of salad touched the surface of the table, “Oh crap. Doesn’t look like something I’ll eat” but I was so wrong. You see that pink meat right there at the corner of the bowl?
That duck prosciutto is effing delicious, I wished they gave me more of that.
When put together with the greens and green apple, it’s a bowl of freshness and tastiness all together.

Fish soup with green pea aioli and garlic crouton.
I don’t really fancy fish sometimes, unless it’s raw fish but this fish soup surprised me well.
I don’t know how to describe this really but this bowl of thick fish soup is so flavorsome, I just want more!

Roast beef and mushrooms : lyonnaise potatoes & balsamic shallot glaze.
The beef is tender and well roasted. When match it with the balsamic shallot glaze and mushrooms, which I really love, it made my lunch complete.

Churros and chocolate sauce.
Churros, oh how I miss. But I still find churros from San Churros in Melbourne more addictive.

Fatty went for ala carte instead of set lunch.
Why would we want to order 2 same sets right?

Black and white onion soup with cheese stick, Rm19.
Something really special as I’ve not heard of white onion soup before. Black onion soup are the ones we can easily get in western restaurant or cafes but white onion soup, I just found out they do exist.
They contrast each other, in terms of colors and the thickness of the soup. Even the taste are very different. Black onion soup is made from beef stock while the white onion soup is cream based.

Grilled “bacon” wrapped snails with coco beans and parsley garlic sauce, Rm19.
This unfortunately, taste as normal as you can imagine. Looks darn good, and the name of the dish itself sounds so interesting but nahhh, not so much.

And one last thing that I love, is their black and white floor tiles.
Red flats : Rm30+ from Melbourne

Till then AcmeBar, I’ll be back.
