Wild Honey Part 2 - Scotts Square

Hello everyone!!! Today I went to Wild Honey at Scotts Square to chill! So I'm just going to show you some photos of the place! 

I love the outlet at Scotts Square more than the one at Mandarin Gallery because:

1. We are allowed to make reservations
2. The service staff takes our orders so we don't have to order at the counter
3. There are proper menus
4. The place is much bigger and prettier
5. There is an alfresco dining area

This post is going to be a picture heavy post!


The outside of Wild Honey


Their menu - I don't really like how it's put together. It's not very user friendly. I'd prefer a classic menu.


We chose to sit at the alfresco area, which was lovely!


Pretty tiles on the floor


I love the colour scheme!


But after awhile, we shifted indoors so that I could take photos of the interior of Wild Honey!

We weren't hungry, so we only ordered coffee and a cupcake!


GD's latte looks happy!


And guess what, this time round I didn't order my usual latte, but a Cappuccino instead and it was very good!


This cupcake on the other hand was kind of a disappointment. I'm not being biased here but it was kinda dry  :(


GD enjoying his latte.




I really like how all the couches, chairs, sofas are covered different kinds of fabric!


They really nailed the interior design!


Reading magazines provided by Wild Honey.



Decorative plates hanging on the wall!


Okay that's all! Hope you enjoyed looking at the photos! (:

The Meal:
In short, the coffee was awesome (as usual), but the cupcake was not.

The Ambience:
Lovely lovely lovely place!

The Service:
Very good service. I don't know if its because there were only 4 patrons (including us) in the cafe, haha.

Overall:
I'd definitely go back to the outlet at Scotts Sqaure. Actually, I don't even think I'd go back to the Mandarin Gallery one anymore. LOL!

Wild Honey - Mandarin Gallery

Hi guys! Sorry it's been a while since I've posted anything! I did Lasik on Sat (yay!)  and I didn't want to stare into my laptop screen for too long a time so this post has been delayed!

GD's birthday just passed and we celebrated it quietly (LOL)! On the actual day itself, the both of us just chilled and spent the day together.


We went for brunch/lunch at Wild Honey. Well it was supposed to be brunch/lunch but I was late (because I was baking him a mini cake) and it ended up being a late lunch. In the end, we arrived at Wild Honey at about 3pm! (Opps!!!)

One good thing about going there at 3pm is that there is no need for us to wait in line! On my first visit to Wild Honey, my friends and I had to wait sooooo long to be seated because there were just so many people! I think it was a 30-45min wait if I'm not wrong. After that, there was also another time when I wanted to dine at Wild Honey but we were told to expect a long wait so in the end, we gave up waiting and ate at Jones the Grocer instead! 


So, one of the perks of going there at an odd timing (3pm instead of 12pm) is that there is no waiting involved and we could even pick our seats! (:

We sat right in the middle of the cafe, on a very cute couch! 


Very comfy and perfect for two! 

Here are more photos of the interior of Wild Honey those people who have not been there yet!



Our table!




We were both so hungry because it was late so we placed our orders immediately!


First up, really good lattes!

We ordered 2 dishes to share - We couldn't ordered too much food because it was just the both of us and the portions are pretty big!


English ($22) - Their big breakfast basically - Scrambled eggs, pork sausages, sauteed mushrooms, baked beans, bacon and roasted tomatoes.

I love big breakfasts because there's everything on the plate! Loved the scrambled eggs! They were soft and creamy and oh so delicious! The bacon was great too because it wasn't too crispy or hard. The sausages were delicious as well! And the bread was fantastic!!!! It was so thick yet soft! I don't usually finish up the bread but I did for this because it was so good! The only thing I didn't really like was the beans because I don't really like to eat beans generally and I found them to be too hard.

I really enjoyed this plate!


Tunisian - Red pepper, onion, tomato stew, sliced chorizo sausage and 2 fried eggs in a sizzling pan! 
It definitely looks appetizing!
It's something new I must say, because I've never tried anything like it before and it was very nice! GD really enjoyed it, he finished it all up!!! 

That's all we ordered, but I'm just going to post some picture Tiff took when she went to Wild Honey on a separate occasion!


This is _______________. I don't know what this is, Tiff maybe you can fill it in for me! (:


European - Poached eggs, sauteed mushrooms and prosciutto on homemade brioche with hollandaise sauce!


I don't know what this is either! But it sure looks good! 

Price: 
$16-$24 for the breakfasts

The Meal:
Delicious meal! GD said that it reminded him of Perth, which is a good thing!!! (:

The Ambience: 
Lovely place, decor and ambience. It was very homely and cosy!

The Service:
Pretty friendly and helpful staff! 

Overall:
Definitely a good place to go to if you are craving for a hearty breakfast.

Address:
1) #03-02 Mandarin Gallery, Orchard Road, Singapore

Monsi's Cafe


One afternoon, Yujia and I went for an impromptu lunch after my class in school! (I LOVE unplanned outings..even though I also LOVE planning! haha)  I picked her up from her house and she suggested Monsi's Cafe at Claremont, so off we went! 

Monsi's cafe is a Latin-American themed cafe that is situated beside Bunnings at Claremont and even though I have been to Claremont countless times, I have never ever walked past this cafe AT ALL!!! It's kind of secluded from the rest of the Claremont eateries at Claremont quarter and is closer to the Bayview Terrace side. Anyway, I read up a little on the cafe and found that it is renowned for being one of the best 'coffee shops' in Perth! 

Really love these photos of Yujia! Think she looks so so nice in her top, especially against the red wall! :)
By the way, she ordered a flat white (a type of coffee - AUD$3.90)


My DELICIOUS chai latte!! :) I personally really like chai lattes, and I know others that love them...But I think there are waaaayyy more people who actually can't stand chai lattes! 

That's me! Very excited to try my drink!!! 
Chai Latte (AUD$4.20)


This was one of the dishes we ordered! An absolutely yummy crepe that had strawberries and chocolate sauce inside! It was also perfect for sharing because we had one crepe each!!! yay! 
Crepe (AUD$14.50)



And this was one of the best omelettes ever!!! 
I can't really recall what was inside, but if I'm not wrong...I picked the one with ham and cheese! A good all-time favourite! (AUD$18.50)

Our absolutely yummy and 100% satisfying dishes of the day! :) 



Was definitely very happy after the meal! 


Price:
Drinks are the usual prices of about $3.90-$4.50 for coffees
Mains: $15-$20
Our total bill for 2 dishes and 2 drinks: $41.40 

The Meal:
I LOVED LOVED LOVED the food!!! It was absolutely delicious and sooo much better than what I was expecting! Didn't really know what to expect actually, but I enjoyed every single bit of it!Yums to the maximum!!!:D Well, not exactly maximum since I didn't give it 5 donuts, but well!!! You get my point! haha. 

The Ambience:
The place is small and cosy, but definitely lacks the ambience of some other cafes that I've been to in Perth.

The Service:
The food took really really long to arrive!!! Thank goodness I was having lots of fun talking to Yujia, if not I may have just killed myself whilst waiting. Just kidding. Haha! But seriously, it took sooo long -_-!!! But the food was SO SO worth the wait!! :) yay! 

Overall:
Definitely had a wonderful dining experience there, despite the long wait for the food...'cos when the food came, I was so happy! Would definitely head back here again to have some more of that scrumptious omelette and oh-so-yummayyy crepe!

It's my last 2 weeks in Perth and soon I won't have any places in Perth to blog about. :( It's quite depressing actually! So so so many other nice cafes/restaurants that I have yet to try!

Nevertheless, it's been a wonderful 2 years and I'll try to find more restaurants/cafes in the next 2 weeks!

Love,
Tiff
