Review: WIP on the Park
April 28th, 2025
Sean Yoong visits Copper, tucked on the fifth floor of Menara Shell on Tun Sambanthan, a pretty spacious and beautifully outfitted restaurant - not a bad bet for business lunches.
At Shaftsbury Square Complex: Chubbies, a cafe with quirky decorative flourishes not normally associated with squeaky-clean Cyberjaya.
Sean Yoong checks into Cyberjaya for burgers and pizzas at Oliver's Kitchen, which is reputedly named for the toddler son of the couple who own this restaurant. Nice touch, that bit.
Azzurro at Pavilion KL's massive menu is meant to pay tribute to southern Italian traditions, with many seductive-sounding temptations.
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.
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.
One of Bangsar's most notable restaurants recently turned two - Bait is becoming better with age, growing into a confident & mature destination.
