Narrative:
I was performing duty as bunkie. I was notified in my bunk that flight attendants smelled electrical smoke in aft galley. I went to the aft galley to investigate and reported back to captain. The electrical smoke dissipated by the time I arrived in aft galley. The flight attendant reported acrid or electrical smell immediately after galley power was cycled from the cockpit to attempt to regain power to half of aft galley equipment. The power was still out in right side aft galley equipment including 3 ovens and 7 coffee makers. In addition; the circuit breaker / power panel for that side had no lights illuminated. There was no evidence of fire or additional smoke noted. I discussed with the flight attendants any concerns they had but all were ok with continuing the flight and augmenting services for passengers. I requested they immediately inform pilots of any change in the galley power or smoke situation. I reported all to the captain and informed the flight attendants in the mid and forward galleys including purser. Then I returned to my bunk.
