Review: WIP on the Park
April 28th, 2025
Bangsar's New Year baby springs into action this week, showing great potential to grow into something special. LA/PA - a catchy play on 'lapar,' the Malay word for 'hungry' - is a spin-off from the vibrant people who brought us Taman Tun's Quar/Tet; we think LA/PA will easily equal the success of its big brother.
This new health cafe & store, hidden on a row of homes in Bangsar, marks a fresh chapter in the personal journey of Malaysian-born, Melbourne-based Shantini Ingkaran, a former practising lawyer who reinvented herself as a wellness trainer.
The spirit of Korean fusion fare burns in Soul in Seoul in Sri Petaling. The restaurant is split into two sections - an alfresco area for cafe fare & a more traditional space for BBQ food.
Desserts, drinks & music come together at Malaysia's first outpost of South Korean cafe chain Dal.Komm Coffee, which opened this month in Damansara Uptown.
Seeking a one-stop outlet for feasts of banh mi, pho & plenty of other delicacies, prepared by chefs from Ho Chi Minh City?
This Vietnamese newbie, Lien Phat, prepares freshly baked baguettes whipped up by an all-Vietnamese team which will likely lure customers from near and far.
Spicing up The Curve's sedate F&B scene, Goodsaltz has the potential to make a great splash; its menu is cooler than most, its service team seems more than friendly & hard-working, while its setting feels as inviting as imaginable for a mall restaurant.
