No Place Like Home

Many restaurants and cafes try to establish a homy vibe so that patrons can let their hair down.

And this all-day-breakfast restaurant is no different.

Wild Honey's two locations are situated in the heart of downtown Singapore. And being right smack in one of the busiest streets of this country has its perks.

One definitely being its convenience. Pick either Scotts Square or Mandarin Gallery, and its still as convenient as the other.

Being the lazy foodies we are, the team dropped by the branch at Mandarin Gallery, and the decor is a nice sight to behold.

The dim interior adds to the homy feel, but the layout and furniture used are a little off. It seems more of a posh restaurant than a homy one.

But who won't wanna live in a posh home! It's a nicely furbished place anyway, and the decor really entices passers-by to patronise Wild Honey.

It has a nice personalised touch with the chalkboard menu, but what I feel adds to that homy, personal vibe is the service.

The service here is definitely much better than several local cafes and restaurants we've been to. Servers in Singapore don't receive tips from patrons, so that's perhaps one of the main reasons why the service is not as good as what we receive elsewhere. But it's nice to be able to meet friendly servers. We also got to meet the owner of Wild Honey, an amicable lady who definitely puts in a ton of effort into this restaurant.

Wild Honey specialises in breakfast from different cities. To quote from the website, patrons can "wake up and travel to a different destination everyday. From Tunisa to Mexico to New York to California & beyond".

English, $25, T:9, P:7

Whenever in doubt, get English. This English breakfast set is pretty splendid, and the portion and the taste are worth the price. Just a warning, it's pretty filling -scrambled eggs, back bacon, Cumberland porn sausage, sautéed mushrooms, baked beans, breakfast potatoes, grilled vine ripened tomato and signature brioche. But, in my opinion, this dish is Wild Honey's specialty.

Spanish Hash, $24, T: 7, P:7

The Spanish Hash is a little on the salty side, with two poached eggs topped with hollandaise sauce, on a bed of diced Chorizo, house corned beef and potato, and paired with grilled ciabatta.  

Flat White, $6, T: 7, P: 7

Carol tried a cup of flat white -and what a beauty! 

Caramel Latte, $7, T: 6, P:5

Having a sweet tooth, I got myself a cup of caramel latte. It's nicely served, but unfortunately was burnt and left a bitter taste. 

If you're downtown and crave some international breakfast, Wild Honey's always a great option.
