For nearly a decade, Pickle & Fig was one of Taman Tun Dr Ismail's favourite neighbourhood cafes - launched in 2012, it earned a loyal following for its hot-pressed panini, such as the acclaimed Rotkraut Pastrami, plus a comforting collection of cakes, salads and smoothies.
Pickle & Fig left TTDI in August 2021, a casualty of changing customer habits caused by the pandemic. Its founders spent months seeking a new home before launching their current space in Setia Alam's Eco Ardence.
Now, as Pickle & Fig embarks on its second decade, its latest era includes a reimagined menu, an evolution of its enduring favourites reinterpreted with pork, establishing itself as one of the few kitchens in Setia Alam that serve Western pork-based fare.
If you're a longtime fan who has missed Pickle & Fig, or if you're looking for lovingly prepared food in Eco Ardence, bookmark this place for pork chops, pork burgers, pork pastas, pork pizzas, pork protein bowls, and of course, pork panini.
Fun fact: Pickle & Fig relies on carefully sourced fresh pork, antibiotic-free and wholesome. The kitchen does justice to its dishes by patiently marinating its meat, making its sauces and cooking everything to order.

Pickle & Fig has also introduced a gorgeous range of grilled pork and chicken platters - perfect for carnivorous cravings.

The similarly prepared Pork Belly Ribs (RM42) are even more luscious, fabulously fleshy and fatty, primally pleasurable with a convincing char.

Prefer poultry instead? No problem: Pickle & Fig's Chicken Chop (RM28) is as delicious as pork - beer-dripped quarter chicken that's boldly robust in taste, marvellously moist in texture.

For sharing, Pickle & Fig's best bets are pizzas, crisp-crust temptations blanketed with toppings like the Smoky Bacon (RM30; a dynamic duo of back bacon and smoked streaky bacon over traditional tomato sauce with stretchy cheese) and Seafood Lemon Garlic Cream (RM30), a bright treat with prawns, squid rings and scallops on each slice, tangy with cherry tomatoes, garlic sauce and cheese.

Pickle & Fig also puts its own flourish on familiar pastas - the Porky Aglio Olio (RM23) is lip-smacking to the final strand of linguine, tossed with streaky bacon, roasted peppers, cherry tomatoes, black olives and chilli flakes, while the carbonara-style pastas are creamy but not cloying, courtesy of a house recipe sauce that harnesses fresh cream and milk, available in the Porky Carbonara with streaky bacon (RM24) or Smoked Salmon Carbonara (RM28).

Whether you need a hearty meal or a playful snack, Pickle & Fig has you covered.
The Mediterranean Pork (RM29) is both protein bowl and rice bowl, blanketed with beer-dripped pork loin steak, avocado, corn, salsa, mushrooms, chia seeds and a runny 63° egg with yoghurt over Sekinchan-sourced brown rice, soulful and soothing.
