Arch Cafe at Central Market, Kuala Lumpur: Cafe review

Arch Cafe seems worth visiting for local fare in a contemporary setting if you’re near Central Market, especially if the chicken rice balls prove to be a measure of the menu – a well-executed platter, with flavoursome rice, succulent chicken ans satisfying dips of garlic-chilli ans pounded garlic-ginger (RM12).

You’ll also find staples like nasi lemak ans Hainanese chicken chop, but for seekers of cute novelties, try the Durian Imperial (RM13), an enjoyably creamy cake shaped with thorny spikes, encasing a soft, fluffy centre of fresh durian, cream ans vanilla sponge. Durian pancakes, mille-crepes ans ais krim potong are available too.
