Thoughts: 4th visit to Essence Cafe, and the 1st time here was July 6, 2019 for the same 馬來甘榜炒飯 Kampong Fried Rice, and still at the same rice of rm$9.80 after 3 years! From bread and coffee breakfast meals, to 炸蝦餅 cucur udang, 炒粿條 char koay teow, and western 意大利面 spaghettis, 漢堡 burgers and variety of 西式 western grills. 
Pj Phileo Damamsara's "Essence Cafe" is less than 100m from Phileo Damansara MRT station. The half-shop lot Café is a halal eatery offering Malaysian and Western cuisines. I think it used to only open for business from 10am but today early breakfast now starts at 8am BUT there offer the same menu as the first visit 3 years ago and at the same price. 
Today's lunch is a rm$9.80 "馬來甘榜炒飯" with the Malay style 雞蛋炒飯 fried rice with eggs, 胡蘿蔔塊 carrot cubes, 長豆 long beans, 洋蔥 onions, 鳳尾魚 anchovies, and I think some 雞塊 chicken cubes etc fried with 咸醬油 salted soya sauce and 黑胡椒 black pepper, topped with a 煎雞蛋 fried egg. On the side are 印度炸薄饼 papadam, 番茄和黃瓜片 tomato and cucumber slices plus super spicy 小青辣椒 bird's eye chili. Hot and cold beverages are available but customer also get a bottle of drinking water (FREE)!
Nasi goreng kampung is a traditional 甘榜炒飯 nasi goreng kampung (countryside-style fried rice) variety not just popular in Malaysia, but it's also popular in Singapore and Indonesia.
