It took us a few turnings earlier nosotros could locate Art Sim Cafe, a cafe that serves homey dishes housed inwards a snug annex of a Semi-Detached House at Jalan Gajah. If there's exclusively ane give-and-take to depict the interior... it would hold upward "retro". The identify is dedicated to all things from the 60's or 70's, you lot volition notice many hidden treasures or antiques surrounding you; fifty-fifty the ceiling is packed amongst retro curios in addition to bric-a-brac. The heat-intolerant would hold upward glad to know that at that spot are enough of fans erected in addition to so the ventilation should hold upward fine. Art Sim serves a really small-scale Nyonya-influenced card in addition to roughly of the highlights include Nasi Lemak, Kerabu Bee Hoon, Guang Jiang in addition to Sambal Hae Bee Toast.
Nasi Lemak amongst Chicken Rendang (Rm 9.90)
Kerabu Bee Hoon (Rm 6.90)
Choose betwixt Nasi Lemak Rendang or Nasi Lemak Kapitan, nosotros opted for the one-time one. They excelled inwards price of nutrient presentation- using the Butterfly Pea Flower extraction to laid upward the Rice, the Nasi Lemak appeared to hold upward inwards lite blueish hue, garnished amongst condiments such equally Fried Anchovies, toasted Peanuts, halved Hard Boiled Egg in addition to a while of Chicken Thigh (Rendang). The existent delineate of this dish was the home-made Sambal. If you lot looked downwards on that splash of unappealing Sambal, you lot may regret later. It was lip-burningly hot but for spicy lovers similar us, nosotros enjoyed it thoroughly. The Chicken Rendang was expertly cooked too- tender in addition to robust inwards flavors. The whole laid of Nasi Lemak was good, though the Rice could hold upward to a greater extent than "lemak".
Kerabu Bee Hoon may seem prissy but nix overly exciting. It paled inwards comparing to the Nasi Lemak, the texture was a tad likewise dry out to our liking. The flavors were subdued either, nosotros though the acidic chemical cistron could hold upward stronger. The dish was a footling monotonous inwards dimension; the halved Hard Boiled Egg served no purposes, in all likelihood for presentation but it had non done much inwards its aid.
Guang Jiang/ Teo Chew Bean Curd Rolls (Rm 4.90)
Sambal Hae Bee Toast (Rm 4.90)
Inevitably greasy in addition to calorific but their Guang Jiang worth every unmarried calorie. The peel was crispy but the actual delineate cistron was the alluring odor of Yam in addition to the nutty Peanuts. The combination tin plough over the axe hold upward addictive, our exclusively electrical load was the they accept sliced them likewise sparse in addition to thus, affecting the overall texture.
Potentially a misnomer, their Sambal Hae Bee Toast was somewhat a controversial offering. Instead of the customary Sambal Hae Bee, Art Sim Cafe serves both Sambal in addition to Hae Bee separately. We did non similar the texture, non fifty-fifty the bread. It was a disappointment.
