Review: WIP on the Park
April 28th, 2025
With its sweeping selection & satisfactory servings, Izakaya Ieyasu seems like a solid bet for Japanese fare in Avenue K.
A slice of Sydney surfaces in KL: Four Australians with wide experience in the restaurant business have combined forces to spearhead Drift, where modern Aussie cooking shines in a relaxed & inviting setting. It's poised to be a place to watch in 2015.
Our recent search for a venue for a family meal led us to Din Tai Fung in Subang - a choice that proved satisfying from start to finish.
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.
It might look like someone's residence, but this site along Jalan Ceylon is actually home to a recently launched deli under the Bottega Mediterranea banner, run by the same folks behind KL's fine Mediteca tapas restaurant.
Zab Zab strives to live up to its Thai-language name, which means 'delicious'; for fans of boat noodles, it's worth taking a trip to Kuchai Entrepreneurs Park to try this Thai treat at this family-owned restaurant.
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.
Boat noodles make their triumphant entry into Petaling Jaya's SS2, with a tempting twist this time - this new outlet reputedly relies on the recipe handed to its founders by the owner of Victory Monument's most popular boat noodle eatery in Bangkok.
One of Kuala Lumpur's most breathlessly anticipated new restaurants this month is ready to launch: Hong Kong's Tim Ho Wan brings its famed 'Michelin-star dim sum' to its first Malaysian branch in Mid Valley's Boulevard beginning Friday, November 28.
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.
If you're interested in encouraging gastronomic diversity in KL, then Vladimir's Place is worth a stop. Much of its food is reassuringly rustic, with a true-to-its-roots ring of soulful honesty.
Mizuiro is a name to remember - this Japanese-inspired cafe specialises not only in wholesome ramen & Maruyama coffee but also one of KL's most delicious desserts.
