13.03.2019 ..炒粿條 Char Koay Teow rm$7
06.03.2019 ..马来干榜炒饭 Kampong Fried Rice rm$9.80
Highly recommend the "马来干榜炒饭 Kampong Fried Rice" which is the Cafe's signature dish. For lunch, the owner recommended an Indonesian cuisine of "印尼干牛肉炒飯 Nasi Goreng Dendeng"! "Dendeng or 干牛肉" refers to thinly sliced dried meat in Indonesian cuisine, said to be originated from West Sumatra. The dry beef meat is preserved through a mixture of sugar and spices and dried via a frying process. The creation of dendeng is commonly credited to the Minangkabau people, and their earliest dendeng was made from beef (mutton and chicken dendeng are also available); in the old days, the dendeng are dried so it would be preserved for days and could be taken along with them when they traveled. It is still a popular dish in West Sumatra where it is originated and in Malaysia is especially in Negeri Sembilan where the decendants of Minangkabau people still resides.
The dish offered at Essence Cafe comes with the Dendeng in a steamy hot claypot, with rice and on the side are salted egg, some vegetables and keropok; very satisfying! The set comes with hot or cold tea, at rm$15.60 or discount of 8% if paid through the QR code. The menu ordering can be self-service via QR code on each table which goes with 8% discount for all their Main dishes, and payment can be maid via T&G card.
Essence Cafe takes up half a shop lot (in front), from the entrance it is one narrow row of tables while further inside at the back are maybe more comfortable seating area. Prices of food are from rm$7 - rm$33++ with 31 items ranging from Western to Local/Asian cuisines, with all-day breakfast as well.
