Review: WIP on the Park
April 28th, 2025
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.
Good Food & Co at Jaya Shopping Centre is pretty passionate about its offerings. The restaurant relies on locally sourced ingredients for most of its fare.
Many thanks to reader Brendan Chan for tipping us off to Porcupine Place, a cheerful venue with a young, graciously welcoming service team that keeps the mood bright & light. Expect to hear more about Porcupine Place in the months ahead; for us, it was well worth travelling to Puchong for.
From the city to the suburbs, take a peek into Frisson Coffee Bar at Damansara Uptown.
Cosy & colourful, calm & casual, cheerful & charming, Kota Damansara's Bmon Cafe - spearheaded by Malaysian brothers Travis & Roy - supplies an excellent escape for the young-at-heart.
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.
Baa humbug? Launching in time for Christmas, this new venue owned by Malaysian chef Beljian Neo & two of his friends showcases some interesting ideas that make it worth visiting.
On our nasi lemak hunt: Gastronomy Inc at Bukit Jalil's Wisma Scope International.
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.
Mikey's Original New York Pizza has launched its second outpost in Solaris Dutamas, less than eight months after becoming one of Bangsar's biggest smashes of 2014, serving pizzas by the slice perfected through consummate passion & experience.
Barnstorming the Klang Valley's food truck rodeo, Cowboys seems set to ride high with a lip-smacking selection of southern American cooking that'll easily lasso a stampede of customers from across Subang, Petaling Jaya and beyond.
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.
