Rise & shine! Acme has started serving brunch on Sundays, offering more than three hours of fun feasting at one of KL's best new outlets of 2011.
Earlier entries on Acme @ The Troika: December 2 & December 5.
We'll clam up & let this lengthy line of photos do the talking; it'd take too long to describe everything on the buffet, but suffice to say, it's well worth the RM89++ per person.
Herb-roasted beetroot with maple vinaigrette & buffalo mozzarella.
Smoked duck pizza with mozzarella cheese & tomato.
Radish with fava bean salad & green tahini sauce.
Smoked salmon gravlax.
Green asparagus with parmesan cheese & truffle creme fraiche.
Potato salad with smoked tuna & green peas.
Smoked clam & corn chowder with croutons & cinnamon herb butter on crispy toast, served to the table steaming-hot from the kitchen.
Japanese cucumber with sesame seed dressing.
Potato & smoked salmon fritters with lemon yogurt.
French beans & sweet peas with hazelnut & orange vinaigrette.
A sampling of the starters on our plate. Items are subject to change every week.
Main courses kick off swimmingly with whole-baked fish.
Stuffing our faces with stuffed roasted chicken.
Beef with three sauces: garlic hollandaise, smoky tomato & coriander honey.
Confit roast lamb.
White coco bean cassoulet & roasted pumpkin with garlic butter.
Seafood mash pie.
Macaroni & cheese.
Meat, meet meat. Acme's team carves up the flesh according to your fancy.
Enjoying our just desserts: Gingerbread brioche with maple syrup chibouste.
Apple & rosemary cake.
Pineapple turnovers.
Coconut & macadamia brownies.
Churros with chocolate sauce.
The best of the lot is in the middle: an ultra-creamy peanut butter cheesecake.

P.S. Acme will be closed for lunch today, Dec. 7, for a private function.

Looks yummy! What time does the Sunday brunch start? Btw, i love ur blog. I found so many nice dining places by just browsing and reading every little detail on ur blog :)
ReplyDeleteWow what a splendid spread! I have to say for RM89++ it looks like it'll be worth the money spent.
ReplyDeleteZee: should start by 11:30, but do call them to confirm. last weekend, it was delayed till past noon, but that was 'cos it was a trial-run brunch. and thanks for your kind words. very much appreciated =)
ReplyDeleteBaby sumo: oh yeah, and that's actually only about 80 percent of the spread! There were a few other salads and side dishes that I didn't photograph :D
Holy crap...this is the awesome-mess buffet brunch I have ever seen @.@
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, for now, I would only go for the lamb dish
ReplyDeleteOh it looks yum!
Oh gosh..a little voice is telling me I can't eat that much on a Sunday afternoon. But..but..it all looks so goooooood!! haha!
ReplyDeleteWOW. this is a FEAST not a brunch...
ReplyDeletesince you've blogged about this place a few times, i think this should be on my must go list...
i see beautifullllll meat!
ReplyDeleteI am heading in for the weekend. i must i must i must (and i reckon i can now hear hubby's voice saying " you're nuts, you're nuts, you're nuts)
OMG!!!!!! I would gladly pay that amount just for the desserts especially the Peanut Butter Cheesecake!! I can imagine my stuffed belly filled with those sweet goodies... *drool*
ReplyDeleteUlric: i hope they'll maintain the quality & quantity in the sundays to come! i have faith that they will :D
ReplyDeleteRad: ah, but you're a chicken fan, first & foremost! the stuffed roasted chicken was pretty tasty. aromatic & tender =)
Adam: yeah, the spread is almost too much for most stomachs to take! we were actually full by the time we finished the salads! :D
ReplyDeleteMichelle: yeah, after this brunch, there's barely any need for dinner! =) i hope you'll enjoy your meal at this place :D
Missyblurkit: heheh, let's cross our fingers that hubby will say "you were right, you were right, you were absolutely right" after visiting this place :D
ReplyDeleteVien: yeah, the peanut butter cheesecake is a melt-in-the-mouth sensation! i hope they'll expand their range of the desserts, adding more mousse-y & ice-creamy stuff =)
Oh, was it!
ReplyDeleteDoes the restaurant accept international delivery service? :DD
Your plate looks like a mountain! You sure it's just a "sampling" ah? :P
ReplyDeleteWow wow!! IMPRESSIVE!!! Didn't imagine that there could be so much food (& meat) served ;) Well worth it! :)
ReplyDeleteWhoa!! This is a sick-looking buffet!! All hail the new king of buffets! And RM89++'s a steal! I just did Sassorosso's Sunday semi-buffet at RM118++ and quality of spread doesn't even come close!
ReplyDeleteRad: heh, the chicken will be as dry as a rock by the time it reaches you! :D
ReplyDeleteBangsar-Babe: heheh, it was 3-5 bites of each salad. but you're right, by the time i finished that plate, i was half-full! =)
Iamthewitch: yeah, but the best thing is, it's not just quantity but also quality here, i think! there was not much seafood, but the meat made up for it! :D
ReplyDeleteMin: i haven't tried sassorosso's semi-buffet, but ya, i was well impressed by how acme put extra effort into its spread. even every salad was worth trying _ something that can't be said for most other buffets! :D
I'm liking the look of this! I was gonna go try last Sunday but last min change of plan, damn wud have bump into u! :)
ReplyDeleteAugustdiner: heheh, so far we've only bumped into each other at silverspoon & the hill, rite. but ya, here's hoping our paths cross really soon! :D
ReplyDeleteGingerbread brioche with maple syrup chibouste!! I'm going just for that. Looks like a wonderful way to spend a Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThe Yum List: oh yeah, this is a cheerful way to spend a wholesome Sunday afternoon with family or friends. much recommended! =)
ReplyDeleteHehehe for sure :p
ReplyDeleteRad: yeah, chicken is best eaten fresh =)
ReplyDeleteAnd cooked, too!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's it. This rocks big time. I'm clearing my Sun to be here! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat time does brunch ends?
Rad: heheh, roasted, steamed or fried is fine :P
ReplyDeleteTNG: oh, they'll probably clear the food at around 3pm, but i think they're fine to let customers linger on after that :D
wow i don't mind going to this brunch! But what about the drinks? Are they separately charged?
ReplyDeleteEiling: oh ya, drinks would be separate, except for plain water. i think cappuccinos & lattes & juices would all be charged separately =)
ReplyDeleteIt must be an awesome brunch for you. This place looks exciting!
ReplyDeleteSmitten by food: oh yeah, almost wish I could do this every Sunday, heh =)
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. Just tried the buffet with free flow of drinks at RM199++. I wouldn't say it worth the price as the Four Seasons brunch at Bangkok is much better and worth the price. You may give it a try one day.. Imagine unlimited serving of foir gras, foir gras sausage, scallops, cavier, free flow of drinks (cocktail, champagne etc), peking duck and their waffle is delicious too.. If I remember correctly, it was RM250++ !
ReplyDeleteHueychin: thanks for the info! wow, the four seasons brunch sounds amazing. will store it in my memory banks for future use, hopefully :D
