Acme South, Bangsar Village

Finally after so many waits. The new branch of Acme Bar  & Coffee is in Bangsar. With the name of Acme South, it has a new concept unlike the other branches. Here, you can have the taste of southern american cuisine or we simply call the as 'Soul food'. I am not going to have a two hours lecture on these 'soul' recipes although I know many are not familiar with the terms bla... bla... bla... but this is a good chance to show you that western cuisine isn't just all about chicken chops, lamb chops and fish n chips that obviously are now and ever overrated by us Malaysians.

Cool wall, huh? That guy in blue is way more cooler. The dark blue shirt.

Unlike some food bloggers, they go together with friends so they have more to show in their blogs. I usually go alone or with a friend so we don't order that many which means less picture for you guys.  :( but nevertheless, I will try to mark up by explaining more about the food. :D

From the menus we can see this might be temporary. They might include more in the future. 

Jambalaya

Jambalaya was put under Creole. What is Creole? It gonna be a long explanation but in brief Creole foods is a type of improvised foods from the Europe (Spain and France) but were brought to other parts of the world. Basically Jambalaya is a type of 'nasi goreng' or whatever rice that we Malaysians cook using stock like 'nasi tomato'. Of course with a bit of spices and tomatoes, sausages, meat et cetera. People would usually compare Jambalaya with Gumbo and Etouffee. Both are rice only different way of cooking. Gumbo for example is soupy. What you can expect from one of the famous dish in Creole food is the aroma and flavour of the rice. When you eat it, you will automatically know what is inside, if your palate is good. 

Po'Boy Oyster Sandwich

YAIKS! My first oyster sandwich. I loved what they did to the oyster. The oyster was dip fried coated with batter, so you can taste the crunchiness but never lose the sea freshness and that oyster aroma at the same time. Top notch, the oyster. Other than that were normal. Normal loaf with veggies and potato wedges. It has what a Po'Boy sandwich should have included. By the way, Po'Boy Sandwiches are Lousiana's sandwiches so yeah, it is basically southern. Haha. 

Potato Cheesy Wedges

Funny because I ordered for Grit Sticks, instead of this but nevermind as I forgot to say a word. Too busy eating I guess. Nonetheless it was a good potato wedges. Home made wedges. One of my rebuttable yardstick to decide whether or not that restaurant deserve my second visit is to see whether their potato wedges or french fries are home made. If you know that they use the supermarket's then they are lacked of qualities. 

The bar area

Desserts but they didn't show up in the menu papers. I guess we need to order for them separately.

One important note, I was notified that Acme South get the meat from Halal-certified producer. If this is true then good news for us muslims. No pork here too. For the win to one of the pioneer of southern cuisine in Malaysia!
