Located up on the 3rd floor of the rather posh Mandarin Gallery on Orchard Road, Wild Honey is open early till late serving all-day breakfast. Got to love a place that knows the value of a good breakfast at any time of day!
They don't take reservations so Father and I showed up a little ahead of our meeting time with Brother #1 and had to wait 15-20 minutes to be shown to a table. At 11am on a Saturday the place was rocking and it stayed consistently busy for the next couple of hours we were there.
Inside, the decor is cosy and homely, dimly lit with plenty of small tables and an assortment of quaint furniture like fabric-covered chairs. There are no individual menus; rather, everything on offer is written up on several blackboards and you place your order at the counter. (This and they still whack on a 10% service charge to your bill, a bit cheeky!)
Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to take photos of the interior so I will let the pictures of the food do the talking.

We each ordered one of their various all-day breakfast options named after places around the world. They're not cheap, ranging from $18-22 SGD before tax, but it is a tempting selection and we had a hard time choosing. Well, perhaps not Father who was always going to choose the English Breakfast!

| English Breakfast |
The English Breakfast comes with scrambled eggs and bacon, pork sausage, sauteed mushrooms, vine-ripened tomato, home style baked beans and toasted brioche. Filling much?

| I Love N.Y. Breakfast |
Brother, tired after a late night, considered the Mexican and Tunisian options before choosing the New York breakfast. Scrambled eggs with smoked sturgeon (fish), caramelised onions, a sesame bagel plus cream cheese. Yum.

| European Breakfast |
And lucky last, I chose the European Breakfast after even more deliberation than my sibling. Eggs Benedict is one of my favourite breakfast treats but it's always a risk at a new place because it can be done so badly. Luckily, the European Breakfast, which is Wild Honey's 'interpretation' of this dish, was beyond good.
Two poached eggs, sauteed mushrooms and prosciutto on toasted brioche with hollandaise sauce. The prosciutto made it a little more special than your average ham, and the brioche tasted like heaven to this closet bread addict.
Wild Honey might not be cheap but it certainly is cheerful and I will happily go back next time I'm in Singapore to sample another dish from their All Day Breakfast menu...or just get the same again!
