WIP, Bangsar Shopping Center

- 11.02.2011 -
it was Sien's birthday...
took weeks to plan on this celebration due to too many suggestions...
finally, she chose WIP in Bangsar~
***
WIP stand for Whipped Into Place, formerly Work In Progress...
before we went there, i actually google for the review and surprisingly there were only a few reviews...
although there were less reviews, but all were saying good! =)
it was a Friday night, hence we all reminded Sien to make the reservation...
unfortunately, no reservation was allowed on Friday night~

the big logo sign hanging on the roof~ WIP...

according to Sien, they waited there half an hour for table...
finally, we got our table around 8.30pm...
and it was a table for 6 when we had actually 8 for the night~
but is okay for us...we don't mind sitting close to each other... ^^

their reception counter...i fell in love with the tree branches... 

once we stepped into the restaurant, i fully understood why no reservation allowed...
FULL HOUSE! every table was occupied...even the bar seats were fulled...

the very nice ambiance... i really love the environment...

the waiter leaded us to our table...
and also arranged the chairs to fit 8 of us in~
they provided excellent services...

the lovely candle on our table~ tree branches again... XD

saw their table mat...actually was a paper~
with their logo on it...

Whipped Into Place = WIP

settled down on our seat...is time to check out their menu~

nice menu where drinks and food separated...

while we waiting for our food and drinks to be served...
i found the lovely sugar cube...
rarely see sugar cube in others restaurant~ or maybe i'm the one who never see...

kinda like their sugar cube...looks cute~ ^^

the 1st drinks they served was bei's order...
Cafe Latte @ RM 8
nice smell and taste... =)

bei's all time favourite - Cafe Latte with WIP logo on top... 

complimentary sky juice~
unlimited supply...can always ask for refill...
the waiters or waitresses there will never show you faces...

under the yellowish light, sky juice looks like white wine... XD

my vegetarian friend was busy looking on non-alcohol drinks...
and he chose Strawberry & Apple Slush @ RM 15

the very nice colour Detox Juice - Strawberry & Apple Slush...

the birthday girl was so excited on trying their cocktail...
looking at the menu, they served plenty of cocktail~
she wanted to have Mojito...asked for recommendation...
the waiter pointed a few...after some discussion, she chose~
Granny Smith Mojito @ RM 28

looks nice but tasted so-so...Sien said she actually tried this before and knew it doesn't taste nice~ got cheated by the name again... =D

San wanted to try cocktail too...i suggested her to take Classic Magarita~
Magarita always is the most guaranty cocktail...
and yes~ it tasted nice! =)

Classic Magarita @ RM 25

i allergy to coffee...hence most of the coffee drinks i never really taste it~
Jian ordered Cappuccino @ RM 8...
while i taking this shot, the very nice smell approach my nose...
she said it was nice...really nice~

i like their logo on the drinks~ Cappuccino with WIP logo...

i guess they were really busy that night~
this Morning After supposedly a 4 mixed detox juice...
but the waiter came to us and said that 2 out of 4 were out of stock...
he offered whether we want to change or stick with it~
as you can see... we stick with what we ordered... 

Morning After @ RM 15

food wise~ we decided to order a few for sharing...
Chicken Makanwala, 1 of the Indian recipes was the famous one among the bloggers...
so, i suggested this dish once the menu on our hand~
choose either rice or naan bread... we chose naan bread...i chose naan bread...
boneless chicken breast cooked in butter gravy served with chana masala, aloo methi, papadum and salad~
the sauce was fantastic~ i can mop up the sauce if the waiter didn't took our plate away...

Chicken Makanwala @ RM 28

bei was so excited with the Espetada recipes~
he suggested and everyone agreed, here come our Seafood Espetada...
Espetada, the traditional Portuguese meat skewers marinated with garlic, laurel leaves, rock salt and charbroiled to perfection.
we chose Seafood Espetada, which was a combination of prawns, squids and fish marinated with olive oil, garlic and herbs, Served with potatoes, vegetables of the day and choice of 2 sauces...

combination of giant prawns, giant squids and fish equals to our Seafood Espetada @ RM 75...

was talking about Espetada served with choice of 2 sauces...

choose from mustard, mushroom, black pepper or Chef’s sauce of the day~

Chef's sauce of the day for the night was rosemary sauce...

and we picked mushroom and rosemary sauce...

the mushroom sauce was great, everyone love it; but the rosemary tasted like medicine...

our sauce for Espetada: mushroom and rosemary sauce...

the pizzas were decided by the birthday girl...
she highly recommended the Sake San (RM 36)...
marinated salmon, lollo rosso, cherry tomato, Japanese mayonnaise and wasabi, garnished with ebiko~
it was nice...the wasabi was just nice to cover the fishy taste of the salmon yet not too strong...

Salmon lover would love it: the Sake San~

another pizza was a vegetarian pizza which only had spinach and mushroom as topping~
special order for our vegetarian friend...we always care about each other... =)
the Mushroom and Spinach, topped with mushroom, creamed spinach and mozzarella...
i love this! like the creamy taste and the combination of mushroom and spinach~

Mushroom and Spinach @ RM 31

we added another main course when our food were about to finish and everyone was not satisfied yet...

Jian and Ka Keng reached after we placed our order earlier because of work~

so, we let them to decide what to order...and they chose Chicken & Mushroom Pasta...

chicken cooked with mixed mushrooms, onion, garlic, finished off with cream tossed with spaghetti...

i like the just nice creamy taste and texture...or because each of us were just able to grab a few bites, that's why i find it not too creamy? haha...

Chicken & Mushroom Pasta @ RM 28

i can't remember how we decided to order only 1 dessert...

if i'm not mistaken, must be we were not so into their cakes...

and this sweetie dessert was a favourite of our birthday girl...

Banana & Peach Butterscotch, which is banana and peach chunks cooked in toffee caramel and served with peanut butter cookie...

people who know me will know, i'm not so into sweet stuff...

and this dessert was too sweet for my liking (according to others friend, it was okay...)~

no harm to give a try... ^^

Banana & Peach Butterscotch @ RM 16... served warm and do remember eat warm too... ^^

i really enjoyed the night with them...all of us knowing each other more than 10 years...

is really great to have them in my life...

as my best friends, as my companion in every path i walked...

thank God for giving me a chance to meet them, know them... =)

happy 兔gether~ my 38 gang... ^^

my besties...my babes...my sweeties...my dearies...my darlings...

can't find a most suitable word to describe them...

we busy for our own life, but keep each other warm in our heart...

my best friends forever~

too bad Ah San fell sick and couldn't join us...but we had her in our picture too... =D

my best best friends~ love this picture so much... 

it was a great night~

as for now, all of us busy working, sometimes birthday celebration is really a good chance to gather us...

WIP is a great restaurant...a great place to chill...

will definitely go back for their food and service...1st time for me to feel that 10% service charge was worth to pay...haha! that's how good their service was...♥
