WIP Is Closed (for now)

.200209. Work In Progress @ Bangsar Shopping Complex

If have not already know, Work In Progress Cafe/Bar in BSC is a sister company of Souled Out in Hartamas and 7atenine in Ascott Hotel. Last Friday, I was invited to shoot for their closing down revamp party and many of their loyal regulars were also invited for a free flow of food and drinks. And of course, that night was really about free flow of beer and MACALLAN whiskey. The highlight of that "Rob the House" themed party was the auction of WIP's furniture and also the full of fond memories' JUKEBOX which eventually reached RM 16,000 of the final bid.

The co-owner of WIP Fred and Michelle promised a whole new exciting concept restaurant and bar that is yet to be named. Apparently, there would be a "naming" contest up on line soon. If you are a fan of WIP, SOULED OUT or even 7ATENINE, you wouldn't want to miss a chance to win a dining session in the brand new restaurant coming up after the revamp. Stay tuned for the details though.

WIP is tentatively closed from now and when it's reopened, I'll let you all know again... Till then, here are some photos that I took that night...


*cautions tape all over the place*

Am already looking forward to the new revamp of WIP. Perhaps it's called "Work Completed" when's it's finally ready.. LOL

Happy Birthday Sidney

A continuation from yesterday!! =D I'll just show you a few of their desserts as well as their detox drinks and cocktails. Apart from that, WIP is also a very good place to celebrate a special occasion because of it's cozy ambience and settings.

Hey peeps! Just when everyone is thinking that I'm already in the middle of the sea fishing, I'm NOT!! *sobsss...* Was down with a very severe gastric pain since last night till morning when my dad tried to wake me up for our planned fishing trip... "Sorry dad, but I'm in serious pain!!" And so, my dad has to leave without me this round!!

Thanks everyone for your well wishes and prayers though!! Am feeling better and on a week's medication...

Ok!! Back to business!! Just yesterday, before I got into serious pain, I was in Cafe WIP with a few food freak bloggers for a food sampling session!! Thanks Jolene and Eugene for hosting us and Rahayu for coordinating and Sidney for inviting again!! The rest who were there are May from foodylicious, Ken for foodpoi, Chong from c-onn, Sue from suemeifyoucan, Kelvin the wetwetwater, Joshua from joshuaongs, and Jason from jasonmumbles.

Well, I would say the setting and ambience of WIP is rather cozy and abit dim. The songs played yesterday was rather soothing I would say coz I love oldies. The food they served last night was pretty descent... I personally love the Salmon Steak which was the best dish yesterday!! Highly recommended though. As for the cocktails and detox drinks, it would really be up to different individual on their likings whether it's grassy taste or fruity taste.

Well, if you are looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion with a cool ambience good food with reasonable price, here's the place!!

Here's what we had last night....

*have a memorable dine in WIP @ Bangsar Shopping Complex*

*the spinach sauce goes super well with the fried vege*

*ermm... this one ok ok lerr... not too bad*

*if you are prawn lover!! u'll like this!!! together with the salad*

*this one BEST!!!!! Super delicious*

*wip offers a wide range of food including middle eastern style*

*thai green curry!! normal, not very spicy though*

*like petai?? it goes well with nasi goreng though*

*an additional order from jasonmumbles!! very nice!! good choice!*
