\"Brooklyn
\nLike Chye Seng Huat Cafe<\/a>, so uncool it’s cool, Brooklyn Art Gallery Cafe is located at the so-uncool-it’s-cool Kampong Kembangan Community Centre<\/strong> (2 minutes’ walk from Kembangan MRT station). This cafe is as quirky as your third grandaunt’s sister’s cousin’s hoarder apartment.<\/p>\n

It is named after a New York city; sells eclectic art from Africa, Asia and Europe; conducts cooking classes; offers catering services; and serves Peranakan, Western, and cze-char<\/em> food<\/strong>. Confuse yet? Though eccentric and a tad disorientating, the decor<\/strong> shows the kaleidoscopic personalities of the owners–and it can safely be said that they are not hipsters. This place has character.<\/p>\n

\"Brooklyn<\/p>\n

The food was cooked using traditional recipes without MSG<\/strong>. Like any homecooked meal, the portions were huge and there were some hits and misses. The food, not very spicy, is suited for children and families.<\/p>\n

\"Brooklyn
\nDefinitely order the beef rendang<\/strong> ($15, pictured above) and ayam buah keluak<\/strong> ($13). The portions were monstrous and both were extremely tender, meat that fell off the bone and they went very well with rice. I thought the sauce for the ayam buah keluak could be stronger but I was being picky.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Brooklyn
\nThe other two Peranakan dishes didn’t fare as well. The Botak’s otak tak<\/strong> ($5, above) tasted sweet, instead of the usual spiciness–and since we are creatures of habit, we couldn’t quite appreciate it. The sotong goreng assam<\/strong> ($12, below) was appetizing and assam-sourish but indecisive, lacking depth and spice.<\/p>\n

\"Brooklyn<\/p>\n

Strangely, Chiobu’s favorite dish of the day was the cze-char dish, tomato with egg<\/strong> ($8, below). I thought it was strange because the sauce was more ketchup-y than tomato-y, but Chiobu, like a little child, relished its comforting, childish flavor.
\n\"Brooklyn<\/p>\n

While this eatery tries to be many things at once, it offers a value-for-money meal for families<\/strong> living in the east, who want to eat Peranakan food.<\/p>\n
