Review: WIP on the Park
April 28th, 2025
The next neighbourhood newbie: Jeq In The House at Section 17 in Petaling Jaya.
Lots of stylish touches, from the reclaimed-wood furnishing to the vintage R&B music flowing out of the vinyl record player. Caffe Crema is situated next to the Number76 hair salon; a newly formed collaboration between both businesses means that Number76's customers can order coffee from Caffe Crema & enjoy it at the salon.
Criss-crossing PJ to check out a new cafe that feature plenty of personal touches, Kelvyna Cafe, a spacious stop, beautifully decorated, at Kelana Jaya's PJ5 Soho suites.
Since we're still waiting for a renaissance of Italian restaurants in the Klang Valley, every new pizza-&-pasta specialist will secure a warm welcome from us. So it's nice to introduce Enorme, opening this week in Petaling Jaya's Centrestage complex.
From patties to pancakes: The team behind Bangsar's beloved KGB burger outlet this week launched an ambitious initiative - a dessert parlour that specialises in a carefully curated selection of plated treats.
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.
Pampas Burger in Wangsa Maju, an offshoot of the Pampas steakhouse family of Changkat Bukit Bintang.
Patty & Pie, an independent eatery run by a friendly couple in Aman Suria, specialising in burgers & wood-fired pizzas.
Meet Bangsar's newest hidden cafe, helmed by Lynette, Christopher and a band of their fellow advertising executives whose 'brewing-and-jamming' concept space seems set to spark substantial word-of-mouth.
WIP, one of BSC's top destinations for both dining and drinking, this month staged a memorable evening that showcased the vintages of acclaimed Australian winemaker Rose Kentish, who shuttles between McLaren Vale and France, producing wines under her Ulithorne label.
He's back! Chef Hideaki Oritsuki mysteriously vanished from Sushi Hinata several months ago, but thankfully, he never left KL - the sushi maestro's legion of fans can now find him at Oribe, which opened this week at the ViPod Residences near Pavilion.
First thing to know about DR.Inc: It's meant to be pronounced 'Drink,' not 'Dr. Inc.' But what's even more certain about this hidden coffee bar is that it's one of our favourite new places in Bangsar this year, a soulful little refuge where people can come for a slice of peace & leave hopefully with their spirits refreshed.
Somewhere in the suburbs, one of the Klang Valley's most ambitiously inventive restaurants of 2014 launched this week - it's a dirty, deliriously delicious secret, its sole entrance tucked away on an SS2 side alley that leads up to the top floor of a shop-lot, without a signboard to call its own.
KL's first cafe that specialises in both savoury & sweet waffles served in the spirit of experimentation has opened this week in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, setting the stage for what's expected to be a welcome explosion of waffle eateries in the weeks to come.
Eight is enough at this new dining destination in Bandar Sunway, which brings together eight eateries in a single space.
