Review: WIP on the Park
April 28th, 2025
Making the Mesui neighborhood a likely mecca for coffee lovers, Feeka finally opened this week, brought to us by the people behind PJ’s Butter + Beans.
Inspired by the Swedish social philosophy of “fika” (taking a coffee break with family and friends) Feeka is that rare city-center cafe that feels effortlessly casual and charming, well-lit and welcoming, spacious and striking. It’s poised to become a big, irrepressible hit.
Egg-bountiful brunches, sandwiches and hot meals should be served starting Saturday, but for now, customers can pounce on plenty of pleasant-looking, pleasure-providing pastries and cakes.
December update: Feeka’s full menu is now available, with all-day-breakfast dishes (10am-6pm) that try to raise the bar in terms of inventiveness while keeping prices reasonable. No complaints whatsoever about the fried eggs with sweet potato hash and shredded duck confit (RM19).
Worthwhile side dishes include rosemary potato hash and lamb sausages (RM5 each).
Even the French toast is devised with fun twists, a brioche made fruity with spiced pineapples and orange sauce, accompanied by chantilly cream (RM16).
Best bets include cinnamon rolls with almonds and raisins, fulfilling in freshness and fragrance …
… olive oil carrot cakes, nicely nuanced and beautifully balanced in flavor …
… and mousse-light chocolate tarts, mostly within the single-digit price range per slice.
And of course, coffee. No lack of choices …
… though not everything’s available at this soft-launch stage.
December update: A nice affogato is available now, featuring New Zealand’s Kapiti ice cream.
Many vacant tables on Feeka’s first morning, but expect seats to become scarce soon.
