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 food. Confuse yet? Though eccentric and a tad disorientating, the decor shows the kaleidoscopic personalities of the owners–and it can safely be said that they are not hipsters. This place has character.The food was cooked using traditional recipes without MSG. 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.Definitely order the beef rendang ($15) and ayam buah keluak ($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.While this eatery tries to be many things at once, it offers a value-for-money meal for families living in the East, who want to eat Peranakan food.For full review and more photos, please visit http://rubbisheatrubbishgrow.wordpress.com/2013/09/11/brooklyn-art-gallery-cafe-singapore/…查看更多
