Everyone’s a Critic

Cafe WIP @ Bangsar Shopping Complex, Bangsar

Cuisine: Fusion, Western, Malaysian
Price: (I don’t know.. cos I didn’t really order, and I didn’t pay… )
Service: 3.5 (refer to glossary)

The first thing I noticed walking into the cafe were the chairs. Made of stainless steel wires, can’t help but think of..

Tee-hee ~~ I was in one of my moods. Had PLENTY of sleep before leaving the house for dinner. But since it was only my second time out with SW, I thought.. maybe I shouldn’t say anything. So it was a good thing that he chose one of those tall tables with higher chairs.

As I skimmed through the menu, racking my brain to decide as fast as i could, I blurted out that if the place was called work-in-progress, they should serve food that is not completely cooked. =_=

Yea.. exactly the expression on his face. I’ve shared this thought with DT before (he didn’t think it was THAT absurd.. coming from me I suppose).

Perhaps food can be served with a hot plate, where you have to complete the cooking process yourself. Or salads can come in little plates, where you get a huge salad bowl to toss it in. WIP, right?

….

We (or rather he) decided we were to share a pizza – the old fashioned Hawaiian pizza. Typical Malaysian boy.

I only have one picture, so as not to freak him out with my picture taking habits. All-in-one:

Chicken wings + Hawaiian pizza + Beer (I think Heineken.. cos I actually rather liked the taste)

The chicken wings were really fried. Nicely fried probably.. but I’m neither a chick wings person nor a fried food person. So it wasn’t something I could appreciate.

The pizza was a rather dainty pizza. Crunchy thin crust (thinner than the usual), daintily sliced onions.. I liked it, but it was dainty.

SW said he had the Tempura Udon (or something like that) the last time he was here. That was good too.

The cafe was rather packed for a work night. But it was a nice crowded. It wasn’t too noisy, but the crowd complemented the atmosphere.

Conclusion:

It’s a nice place to hangout after work with friends. It reminds me of a pub – minus the sleazy uncles and sticky tables.

P/S You need to get the PIN from the waiters to use the washroom (and the temperature’s lower in the washroom).
