Review: WIP on the Park
April 28th, 2025
Pandas aren't Publika's sole peculiarity right now - out in The Square, a two-level shipping container cafe called Bxie Blonde might not share the 1,600 papier-mache bears' high profile, but it's also providing a photogenic prescription of cutesy charm.
Project Space, a students' hangout perched on the first floor of a Subang SS15 shop-house. It's more a coffee bar than a juice specialist, but it does showcase the creations of local brand This Juice Co.
Spooky-sexy or crazy-creepy? Maybe a bit of both - Otherwise Cafe in Kelana Jaya sure seems like one otherworldly venue.
Fatto A Mano - Italian for 'made by hand' - revs up KL's recent renaissance of new Italian restaurants, serving a well-crafted selection of pizzas, pastas, bread, cheese, cured meat & more.
You may wonder why you’d ever relax at a hotel bar, and I’d be lying if I said that thought didn’t cross my mind. But an afternoon at the Lobby Bar changed all that. [Sponsored]
Frisky Goat is set to soon mark its first birthday - in less than a year, this has turned into one of Taman Tun Dr Ismail's most reliable stops for weekend brunches, but it's worth noting that Frisky Goat is a solid bet for full-fledged lunches & dinners too.
Perched on a shop-house first floor, Bedrock is located in the Taipan commercial hub, removed from Subang's main cafe enclave of SS15.
Good Food & Co at Jaya Shopping Centre is pretty passionate about its offerings. The restaurant relies on locally sourced ingredients for most of its fare.
Many thanks to reader Brendan Chan for tipping us off to Porcupine Place, a cheerful venue with a young, graciously welcoming service team that keeps the mood bright & light. Expect to hear more about Porcupine Place in the months ahead; for us, it was well worth travelling to Puchong for.
Its name might sound explosive, but Cherry Bomb Coffee - a moniker that serves as a nod to coffee cherries - is a calm hideout that's meant to evoke the feeling of home.
From the city to the suburbs, take a peek into Frisson Coffee Bar at Damansara Uptown.
Making sandwiches might seem like a simple task, but the most satisfying ones are prepared with lots of heart & skilfulness; Simplicite Sandwiches does an admirable job in bringing customers bread they can believe in.
