Found: Archie De Corner!

I've found Archie De Corner again!

Archie De Corner is one of the pioneer stalls in selling reasonably-priced but huge-portion steaks. A lot of other steak stalls came up after that, but in my opinion, they all can't compare to the original Archie's steaks.

The last we heard where Archie De Corner was located was somewhere on the corner shoplot near the Lido and Lintas Highway here in KK. But when BF and I went there last month, Mr. Archie's stall was no longer there! Boo! BF & I just got mad luv for Archie's steak, by the way..

So we asked a lot of people who are also fans of Archie's steaks as well, but they don't know where the stall has gone to! Boo!!


But luckily BF accidentally found out after having breakfast at the coffeeshop one morning recently, and saw the sign of Archie De Corner (pictured above). So he brought me there for dinner there just now, and you just can't imagine how happy I was to see Mr. Archie (I made this name up, by the way. Don't know the real guy's name) that I almost hugged him!


So here's the food that we ordered; mine was Chicken Chop, BF's was lamb chop. Both were delicious, though I secretly think mine is more delicious than BF's food! More portion, too, and cheaper; costs only RM12! BF's lamb chop costs RM14. The side dishes are different now, though. Not a problem for me, since I only eat the chicken and the fries only, anyway..


Archie De Corner is located somewhere near KK High School; if you know the bookshop Lumen Enterprise (if you don't, then where have you been?? Lumen has existed since like, forever!), then you'd find this place as well. It's closer to the Gaya Cake House than Lumen, though. There aren't that many shops there, so you can't miss this corner coffeeshop.

There aren't that many people there tonight, so we took the opportunity to ask Mr. Archie (the chef lah) where has he been all this time. We also asked him when did he move to this new place, and he said only for a week and a half. No wonder no people coming here yet..!

So if you are fans of Archie De Corner, you know where to find it now!

2 - Hi Jac, the last time i tried it in Lido, it wasn't very good. I used to be a big fan as well but somehow the lamb wasn't as juicy or tender.

If you like all this chop-chop stuff, try Kedai Kopi Yun Soon, next to Arriva's in Lintas - Pretty good, esp the grilled chicken chop. (Comment this)

3 - Melissa, did u know that Yun Soon & Eddie De Corner actually copied Archies? They actually were all under Archies, but something happened between them, so they all broke off and tried opening their own steak stalls.

Both of these places I don't like as each time I was at these places, the lamb was stinky; the chicken was too oily and over-fried. That's why I'm sticking back to Archies.

Anyway, thx for commenting! :) (Comment this)
