THE WILD, The Burger, The Catch, The Wings with Sylvia Fernandez

"THE WILD, THE BURGER, THE CATCH, THE WINGS” 

Wondering what I am on about? Well that’s the fare at The Wild! From burgers to fish and chips and…truffle fries, all under one roof. 

This wild-looking, funky, colour-dazed joint, with pink-clad crew speeding up an up-beat burger in a small hole in the wall, so reminiscent of trendy eateries. The artful gallery which hugs both sides of the stairway leading to the dine-in level upstairs, adds another dimension to this restaurant. As I sat down to dinner I was wrapped in a wall art dining room that felt intimate and personal. All of these the brainchild of Chef Jun. 

I started with wings, an all-time favourite of many. There was original, tangy, salted egg, cheesy and sweet n sour. Something for every taste bud. My favourite was the tangy – gooey and sticky, it was finger licking good. 

As with the wings there was a huge variety of burger styles too. I of course wanted a taste of it all. I decided to try four of the eleven available. The garlic chicken patty had a crunchy batter while the chicken was so tender on the inside. The signature Wild Burger was of course a must as it is made from freshly ground Angus beef. 

Moving to a more Asian slant I tried the Nyonya burger for those who like a bit of chilly and pickled achar on their beef patty. Different and delicious! The Hawaiian Burger of course came with pineapple accompaniment and that offered a treat in itself to those who love this sweet and tangy flavour. 

To accompany all this I had the truffle fries. A bit of luxury to top a burger meal, one I was very appreciative of. I wish I could have tried the fish burger as it looked good on someone else’s tray. To this end, The Wild had a constant flow of customer as we chomped into our dinner. Popularity testifies to the quality of the fare I guess. 

Pescatarians be assured there is something there for you too. Fish and chips under the same roof! And sides of corn, onion rings and fries. I had not drunk a fizzy cola for years but decided to have a root beer which took me back to my old days at school, when that was such a treat! 

If you love food and art you’ll get it all at The Wild. From someone who is a foodie with a penchant for the best this will be a total treat!

Great write-up Sylvia. I am with you all the way. You've taken the words out of my mouth. Great discovery - a place I would return just to crunch a darn-tasty burger, and feast my eyes on the art! Definitely funky!

The best burgers I’ve tasted in a long time! They make their own buns which are light and fluffy and the patty is juicy and tasty! I added a pineapple slice to my burger. I love the fries very much. Will be back!

Shalom Gata recommends The Wild Restaurant.

Best meal I've had all year! Their attention to detail is impeccable, from the sauce in the mash potatoes, to the salad dressings. The meat was cooked to perfection, and the tiramisu is a must-try! Special mention to the service staff who went the extra mile to enhance the dining experience!
