Review: WIP on the Park
April 28th, 2025
Cute name for a cafe with a certain charm; no worries though, chairs and couches are available, so customers with less-than-flexible limbs need not remain cross-legged here.
Cross-Legged’s selection is cheap and cheerful. Start with soup, preferably this one made creamy with broccoli and satisfying with shrimp. A reasonable RM10 per serving.
French Toast (RM10) with titillating twists, thanks to a beaten-egg-white fluffiness that makes this taste more like souffle than bread, served with chicken sausage, tomatoes, maple syrup and fresh lemon drops.
Salmon and veggie quiches are also offered on the not-too-wide savories menu.
House-made desserts like chocolate cookie stacks are probably the bigger attraction at this family-run cafe.
This steamed pumpkin-and-cranberry cake (RM5) is really enjoyable, served warm and fresh with a thick pumpkin puree.
Quirky but cool: An ice-blended mix of bananas and Nutella.
Our favorite icy treat for the current weather: Earl Grey orange mint jelly. Fabulous.
Aussie beans are used for Cross-Legged’s coffee. Not bad, but not the highlight.
Hot chocolate with chili, fine-tuned to the perfect level of tongue-tingling spiciness to complement the beverage’s creamy cocoa flavor.
We were here on a Sunday evening. It’s a real oasis of calm at that time.
