Long the watering hole of choice for Bangsarites, expats, and off-duty professionals, WIP holds new appeal as an alfresco dining spot due to its expansive open-air deck. It’s cool and comfortable, so you can sip one of their famous peach mojitos knowing you’re socialising sensibly. But not too sensibly - their lengthy drinks list and Happy Hour treats will see to that. WIP’s food, meanwhile, achieves the rare feat of being able to cater to all tastes (a godsend for those sharing a table with both vegetarians and unrepentant carnivores) while turning out genuinely well-executed dishes including Portuguese espetada skewers and stellar Indian classics. Cross-culinary marriages abound but dishes such as the Black Angus Char Kuay Teow and the Sake San Pizza pack a punch from the first bite, quickly proving they are more than just novelty filler items. WIP may stand for ‘Work in Progress’ but you’re always sure of a well-rounded gourmet experience here.

IN THE KNOW
