Acme's flagship dessert has become synonymous with the restaurant. A rich, dense walnut brownie arrives still warm on a cast-iron plate. The server pours hot chocolate sauce tableside, creating a slight sizzle and releasing steam. The warmth of the brownie melts the Oreo ice cream into the chocolate, creating a study in hot-cold contrast. Multiple reviews cite this as the dish that got them to return.
Tips from diners
Order this last — it's meant to be the finale. Saving it for dessert lets the ice cream stay colder and the brownie stays warmest.
This dessert is easily shareable. If eating alone, ask for two spoons and treat it as a half-portion.
Cempedak is a local fruit that rarely appears in fine dining desserts. Acme's cake captures its delicate, custard-like flavor without overwhelming sweetness. The crumb is light and tender, allowing the fruit's subtle notes to shine. It's a departure from the rich sizzling brownie and represents the restaurant's seasonal menu philosophy.
Tips from diners
This is a seasonal special. Ask your server if it's available during your visit — if so, order it alongside the sizzling brownie for contrast.
A creative take on the chip-and-dip concept using fried plantain. The strips are perfectly crispy outside and soft inside. The spicy anchovy guacamole brings umami and heat, while chimichurri adds herbaceous brightness. Sour cream mellows everything out. Reviewers call it a guilt-free party snack that never empties the plate.
Tips from diners
Perfect bar snack with a cocktail. The spice in the guacamole pairs well with cold beer or a citrus-forward drink.
A brunch favorite that balances richness with freshness. The eggs are cooked low and slow until they become silky and barely set. Mixed greens and ripe avocado provide textural contrast. The light vinaigrette keeps the dish from feeling heavy despite the butter-rich eggs. Reviewers often order this alongside coffee for a balanced brunch.
Tips from diners
Ask for extra vinaigrette on the side — the eggs can absorb the dressing quickly once plated.
A generous starter designed for two to three diners. Crackly garlic-rubbed toast is served alongside cold cuts, roasted red pepper, caramelized onion, gherkin, and a cheese board featuring brie. The chimichurri and babaganoush dips add herbaceous and smoky notes. Reviews praise the balance of flavors and textures, and the generous portion for the price.
Tips from diners
Order this if you are dining with 2-3 people. It's enough to share as a starter and doesn't leave you too full for mains.
Acme Bar & Coffee occupies a coveted corner of The Troika's ground floor overlooking KLCC, with expansive glass windows and a garden dining area that catches afternoon light. The restaurant builds its menu seasonally with a focus on fresh local ingredients — pastries, brunch classics, and creative cocktails. The sizzling brownie, where a warm walnut brownie arrives on a hot plate and chocolate sauce is poured tableside, has become their calling card and appears on every review.
Arrive early on weekends — weekend brunch draws crowds. The window tables are first-come. If you want a view, come before 11am.
The garden dining area in back is quieter and more intimate than the main floor. Request that section when booking if you want privacy.
Weekday lunch is quieter and more relaxed than weekends. You can actually enjoy the view without fighting for a table.
