Review: WIP on the Park
April 28th, 2025
The Forum is a breath of fresh air amid the bustle of Desa Sri Hartamas, supplying a beautiful hidden space for taking a break. Spearheaded by the folks behind The Signature’s Proof Cafe, this is bound to become a big Instagram hit in the weeks ahead.
The Forum focuses on contemporary feel-good fare – the pan-fried Norwegian salmon with couscous, green lentils, charred corn, cauliflower, dill & lemon aioli (RM36.50) makes satisfying use of fresh produce, offering well-balanced flavours & textures. Other highlights include lobster bisque (RM23), mushroom risotto (RM24.50) & herb-crusted chicken (RM23.50); a crowd-pleasing weekend brunch selection showcases pancakes (RM14.90), waffles (RM16.90) & cheese souffles (RM22.90).
Desserts flaunt an imaginative flair – the zucchini lime cake is a moist treat with mildly tangy nuances, topped with cream cheese frosting (RM13.90). Other temptations include cookies baked to order, served hot from the oven with cold milk (RM11.90), passion fruit & rambutan granita (RM14.90) & vanilla apple compote with lemon yoghurt & fresh-made caramel popcorn (RM18.90), plus coffee creme brulee (RM12.90) & coffee caramel cake (RM14.90) – the coffee in those desserts as well as in the lattes comes from Melbourne’s Axil Coffee Roasters. Wine, whisky, vodka, gin & rum are available.
