Amelie Cafe

Found a new food place along Armenian Street called Amelie Cafe. It is a few shops just before Eidelweiss. The place is adorable. From outside you would see a cute shop with lots of green plants nicely arranged with cute wooded signboards saying the time the shop is open and what they sell. Everything here has been recycled. When I first came here with my friend, we were like some girly girls going all gaga with the place. Everything about the place was so cute. See the pictures below to know what I mean.






This is the upstairs where there's more tables


Menu here is kept simple with simple breakfast meals and drinks. Then for a more heavier meal, they have their Today's Specials written on the wall. Another cute thing, they used the part of the wall repainted it into a blackboard. How cool is that.



Food here has its own signature way cooked and served. In my visit here last Saturday, we were the first customers to reach at 10 am. Below is what we had.


First of, as any basic breakfast there is always bread with butter and jam. This is called The Simple Toast. It comes with 2 slices of toasted Mix Grain Rye Bread served with the choice of spread (Butter, Kaya or Fruits Jam).


Or if you would like eggs with your bread, there is the Single Egg and Toast. It comes with 1 slice of toasted Mix Grain Rye Bread served with the choice of spread. (Butter, Kaya or Fruits Jam) and 1 egg of your choice. (soft boil, scramble or sunny side up. )



If you are more adventorous to try something out of the traditional butter and jam, they have their special toast called, Amelie Toast. It comes with 2 slices of toasted Mix Grain Rye Bread served with their special homemade Cinnamon Banana Yogurt. It is something unique. You have that banana taste and a slight yougurt taste to it. It is not sweet nor sour. And the cinnamon taste comes from the Cinnamon powder springkled on top.


Myself, I ordered the Focacia Tuna Sandwich which was on their today's special. I liked it alot. It was served with the focacia bread and tuna bits in it. But what gave a nice taste was that they had spread mayonaise and mustard on the tuna bits. So it had a salty, sour and herby taste in every bite you take.



Items that are on the Today's Special list is served throughout the day till 7pm. So on that day they had Roasted Honey Lemon Chicken, Aglia Olio pasta, Mexican Corn, Chocolate Almond Cake with ice cream and Portabello Mushroom Soup.

We tried out their Portabello Mushroom Soup and Chocolate Almond Cake. The Mushroom soup, well it was extremly thick with pureed mushrooms. It looked good, but taste wise, it was not up to what I expected it to taste. What I can say is that it was abit tasteless and all I could taste was the olive oil. Needs room for improvement here.



The Chocolate Almond cake was nice and chocolatey. It went nicely with the vanilla ice cream.


As for drinks, they have a page filled with drinks you can order. They have various coffee choices, tea, chocolate milk, fruit juice, soft drink beer and mineral water. We had ourselves caffe latte, hazelnut latte and hot mocha.

Ice Water in a jam bottle


Hot Mocha

I think this place would do well. The owner said that so far business has been picking up. They get alot of backpackers coming in. However recently slowly locals are starting to come. But one thing he said, if you plan to eat here, come here with no other appointments to rush too. Reason is that he is a one man show to cooking everybody's orders. So it may take sometime for your meal to arrive. I would suggest, only come to this place when you are free and with good chit chatting company. You would just get lost with time in this cute lil place.

Prices here, well for me it's slightly pricy for example the Tuna sandwich cost RM 14.90 and the pasta's too. But I like the place so much that I don't mind paying extra.
