Famished...

was the state I was exactly in at 1PM on Saturday afternoon. Busy with work on weekdays, makes me reluctant too wake up earlier than 11am.. sleep in is all I was for. But realizing that brunch places fill up pretty fast on weekends helps me to get on my feet and made my way to Orchard.

As I said in my previous post, I have been craving for good brunch place and hardly found any. Last saturday, I decided to try Wild Honey to see what's all the fuss is about.

Went with 4 of my buddies, we were asked to wait for our table. Wild honey has 2 outlets, one at Mandarin gallery and the other at Scott Square. We decided to go for the scott square one because word has it, Mandarin gallery's wild honey is impossibly crowded on weekends. At scott square outlet, we were asked to wait for our table (they took reservation but I think they disconnected the line in the morning cause I couldn't get to them that morning). There were 6 table ahead of us but we got the table within half an hour, not too bad a wait for that kind of crowd. While we were waiting, we were offered a complimentary cake for tasting, its cranberry tea bread. In my honest opinion, I would say it's dry and slightly tasteless. If it would to be one of their signature breads, it needs slight changes in their recipe proportion.

When we were seated, we were pretty quickly served, the manager even went with us through their menu. Basically, they have 3 popular dishes: Big Brekkie (named English), Egg Benedict (French), and Baked eggs (Tunisian). We ordered 2 French and 2 Tunisian with accompanying tea/coffee. I had peppermint. The food came pretty quickly, filling up our little table in effect but it was still somewhat comfortable.

The egg benedict was served on their signature brioche (rather than a typical english muffin), mushroom and egg-wrapped in prosciutto and showered with generous serving of hollandaise sauce. The tunisian brekkie (a.k.a baked eggs), was pretty good too, the only thing that turned me off was their choice of chorizo. It is sweet and taste more like lapchiong (Chinese pork sausage). It doesnt go really well with that particular dish.

Overall, the place was a pretty enjoyable experience. I would definitely come back to chill while striving to find a brekkie that's close to Sydney :D
