Relish By Wild Rocket (501 Bukit Timah Road, Cluny Court, #02-01, SIngapore 259760) Reservation: 6763 1547

Visited on 11 July 2015 (Sat). Relish by Wild Rocket is a casual dining restaurant specialising in good quality burgers by Chef Willin Low. They know not everyone is into burgers so they also offer all day brunch and pasta menu. I'm not a fan of burgers but a crazy Pandan and Gula Melaka lover, so I decided to try out all their items with Pandan and Gula Melaka! 

This is their bar counter

As the restaurant is facing the Botanic Garden, so I find the deco here complemented very well with the surrounding. You will find some potted plants hanging around + the restaurant is in white, so it gives me a very clean, cosy and laid-back ambience! 

I personally like this cosy corner!

Pandan French Toast ($17.80++)

Classic Chiffon Cake dipped in egg batter, grilled and topped with gula melaka syrup served with bacon.  This is my first time having pandan french toast in chiffon cake style which I think it's really creative! But I couldn't really taste the gula melaka syrup, perhaps it's better to put the syrup separately. As the french toast is sweet stuff, it's nice to pair with a savoury crisp bacon that was rolled like a rose so pretty! 

The Melaka Waffle ($14.50++)

Light and crispy waffle served with coconut ice-cream topped with gula melaka syrup. The waffle was super crispy! But again, couldn't really taste much gula melaka. 2 suggestions: Maybe can put the syrup in a cup for customers to pour themselves to prevent the syrup from being dry up fast when served. Or Pour more syrup onto the waffle - Too little syrup. The gula Melaka taste was quite mild too. 

Pandan Panna Cotta ($9++)

Pandan infused panna cotta with gula melaka. The panna cotta was very smooth but the pandan taste was too mild, can't really taste the pandan otherwise it's perfect..

Latte ($5.50++)



Homemade Pink Lemonade ($7++)

A beautiful refreshing soda to quench your thirst! Must Try!

Overall Impression: Service was quite good as we were there early. Love the jazz music from Olivia that they played in the morning, made the whole ambience very relaxing. The food that I've tried above were all quite nice and light. Would prefer slightly stronger pandan and gula melaka taste as I find them too mild. Prices here are on the high side so might not be back again soon. Burger lovers, go try their burgers!

9 Selections of Dessert on 6 July 2015

Creme Brulee

Raspberry Panna Cotta

Lemon tart

This is the most beautiful lemon tart that I've seen so far! The lemon was not too sour with crunchy chocolate tart base. Yummy!

Brownie

Usually I don't like brownie as they're usually hard and dry, but the texture of the brownie here was just right, not too chocolatey that I can finish the whole brownie by myself!

Choux Puff

Earl Grey Mousse 

This cake was so pretty, isn't it? Not only the appearance won my heart, the taste won my heart triple!!! It was soft, infused with light aromatic earl grey and chocolate. As this was so light, you won't get sick of it easily. Something like the Antoinette earl grey cake, but I think this was even much better! Must-Try if you get to see this cake there!

Passionfruit Banana

I'm neither a passionfruit nor banana lover. But this cake surprisingly did not turn me off. The banana taste was very mild with quite sour passionfruit and a layer of biscuit crust at the bottom. The overall combination was unique and refreshing!

Chocolate Gateaux

This is their signature cake! The chocolate cake was very rich but very satisfying for chocolate lovers! Love this cake to the max!

So far this is the only hotel that offer creme brulee ice-cream! Good for me as I'm a creme brulee lover!

Mini Chocolate Fondue that looks like a lamp!

9 Selections of Dessert on 25 Sep 2015

Choux Puff

Brownie

Coffee Plantation

Cheese Tart

Earl Grey Mousse

Orange Cake

Chocolate Cream

Creme Brulee

Melon Panna Cotta

Appetizers

Foie Gras Terrine

Cream of Cauliflower

Surprisingly this cauliflower was very nice - Smooth, light and creamy.. A non-vege person like me love this soup too!

Take more clams! They were so fresh with natural sweetness!!

Pan-Seared Snapper with Oriental Vegetables, Double Boil Herbal Soup

The snapper was very tender with very crisp exterior. Especially those meat at the bottom that infused with the aromatic broth, will make you crave for more!!

Baked Farmed Salmon with Leek & Onion Confit, Spicy Miso Glaze

As the snapper was too good, hence this salmon seemed to be a little lacklustre. They were generous with the portion as the salmon given was quite big and thick..Probably it's thick, hence certain portion of the salmon was a little tough, but the rest was really tender.   The spicy miso sauce was a little strong, doesn't complement that well with the baked salmon. 

Complimentary 1 Coffee Or Tea (Non-Refillable)

We chose 1 Regular Tea and 1 Regular Coffee on 6 July 2015.

 Latte (Non-Refillable)

Cappucino (Non-Refillable)

Overall Impression: Service was very good. There will be a staff to standby at each section to serve you. If you prefer to have main course first, do let the server know that you want to be serve main course first. Otherwise they will only prepare after you finish the appetizers from the buffet spread.

The dessert buffet used to be nice to look at but cannot make it. But now, all desserts tasted great! Main Course were decent. We were very satisfied with everything here and the air-conditioned has improved too, not warm anymore when we were seated by the window. 

Note: No extra charge for window seats during lunch time but there will be an additional charge of $20 during dinner time if you want window seat.
