Review: WIP on the Park
April 28th, 2025
Two friendly Malaysian sisters and their collaborators have created this lovely-looking new cafe that showcases intriguing ideas.
Opening this month at BSC, Ruyi & Lyn is a rather unique and relatively bold restaurant, serving contemporary East Asian concoctions in a cavernous space hidden at the back of the mall's fourth floor, seemingly accessible by only one escalator.
Huckleberry Food & Fare at Plaza Damansara is one of 2015's most encouraging new eateries.
Jibril is a no-liquor zone bar, serving unique mocktails and coffee creations. It is located within a hidden area in Subang's Sangkaya coconut ice cream parlour.
It's nearly 10,000 kilometres from the islands of the Mediterranean to Malaysia, but Brulee Brasserie tries to bring a bit of the spirit of Sicily & Santorini to Selangor, with European-accented offerings by a warm team that makes friends of its customers.
The League of Captains located is a cafe spearheaded by the folks behind local clothing label Pestle & Mortar.
Project B is a new eatery that encapsulates the soul of social enterprise - it marks the first F&B initiative by Malaysia's Dignity For Children foundation, which has worked for the past 12 years to help underprivileged children break the cycle of poverty.
Aether Cafe at Taman Tun Dr Ismail serves nutritious recipes at lower-than-the-norm prices.
A cool menu and a cheerful team make this confident cafe potentially worth checking out for folks working in the city centre.
Fat Olive opens this week, helmed by Kike, who hails from northern Spain, & his partner Stacee, a Malaysian former advertising executive who recently returned home after a long stint in Shanghai.
Bisque, located at Damansara Perdana, is a paradise for cakes and a haven for hearty hot meals. Bisque's team has crafted a thoughtful and tantalising menu that represents the kind of food they love.
Fishee Coffee is a fun cafe, filled with friendly vibes in a cheerfully colourful setting that's a bolt-hole for student-age patrons.
Stubborn Joe at Dataran Prima is no average-Joe cafe; founded by a husband-and-wife team who practise interior design and architecture, it's a visual feast.
