Wilder - Halal Cafe Serves Delicious Food

Mariem and I stumbled upon this tiny halal restaurant after two hours of walking around Bugis and Bendemeer area looking for J's (closed for dinner preparation) and Le Bistro Parisien (it has closed down). 

 
 
Wilder has taken over the space previously occupied by De'Pop Culture Cafe, serving up cafe foods with their unique interpretation.
 
 
 
The cafe is decked out in industrial design, giving the place a spacious yet homely feel.

 

 

 
Wilder has a small menu of 6 starters, 4 salads and 7 mains plus one surprise main. I would definitely have chosen the "Surprise!" item if I had seen it because I loved being surprised by something the chef creates with what he/she has on hand. I am definitely going to order the "Surprise!" the next time I am here.
 
 
 
Desserts include cakes and scones. Drinks include the usual coffee drinks such as cappuccino and latte, plus a few mojitos.  

 

 
I am sorry to say this but the Iced Chocolate is just about the worst drink I have ever drunk, even the iced milo served at coffee shops taste much better than this. This is a super-super-super run-down drink. It is tasteless. To say that I am disappointed is an understatement; the word I am going for would be "horrified".

 

 
Virgin Mojito is a non-alcoholic drink that is made with ginger ale, lime juice, sugar syrup and mint leaves. Sweet and icy cold with a strong hint of minty freshness, it is the perfect drink for the humid weather of Singapore.

 

 
I have never seen Salted Egg Taters in a halal restaurant and it was surprisingly good. The fries are crispy and nicely wrapped in salted egg batter. However, if it were me, I would drop the Parmesan cheese because it masks the salted egg.

 

 
Wilder's Beef Burger with Homemade Buns is Wilder's version of the classic beef burger. 

 

 
Wilder's Take on Squid Ink with Tagliatelle is Wilder's version of the classic squid ink pasta. Tagliatelle, a traditional long and flat pasta, is used in place of the more commonly used spaghetti. There is a hint of sweetness which sets it apart. The pasta is a little over-cooked.

 

 
We are so lucky to get the last slice of Chocolate Caramel Tart. It is everything I want in a dessert - sticky, gooey, sweet, chocolate and caramel. It was served cold, I wonder how it will taste like if served warm?
 
Muslim friends will be happy to know that Wilder is halal-certified so you can indulge to your heart's content without having to worry.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
