Just an update on Wild
Honey:
1)
They’ve
opened a second outlet at the newly opened Scotts Square
2)
This
outlet actually accepts reservations
3)
They have
a few dishes that are only available at Scotts and not at Mandarin Gallery
Well, the point about
accepting reservations is a bit suspect, because they only let you have your
table when your entire party is physically present and accounted for. When we
tried to tell them that A was just parking the car, and we knew what we wanted to
order, they fobbed us off with a “yes yes, we’re just setting the table now”,
but coincidentally the table was ready just when A arrived. We overheard some
other people, who had also made reservations but were still left standing
around outside, getting quite frustrated as well.
The 2 dishes that are
only available here are the Aussie (a rib-eye steak sandwich) and the
Norwegian. We were here with W and M – M ordered the Aussie and I had the
Norwegian, while A had the European (eggs benedict) and W had the full English
brekkie.
The Norwegian is an
eggs ben with smoked salmon, avocado and grilled asparagus. The brioche on
which it rests is also grilled, adding a nice smokiness that distinguishes it
from the regular European eggs ben. I actually prefer this to the European,
because of the addition of the crisp asparagus.
They opened at Scotts
fairly recently, so I hope the madness with the reservations was only a
temporary hiccup, plus the fact that it was a Boxing Day public holiday. I hope
things calm down somewhat, because while you’re made to feel like they’re doing
you a favour by allowing you to dine there, you can’t deny that they serve some
pretty good brunch offerings.

Great food. Great
coffee. Great service once you get in. Unfortunately, getting in is the big
problem. And honestly, it’s really not worth waiting an hour for.
