Set literally next door to wild rocket at Mount Emily, Wild Oats is housed in a charming colonial mansion amidst a sprawling garden.

For those who prefer cool air-conditioned comfort, the indoor area has classic black leather armchairs and designer bar stools. Outdoors, the chenai wooden deck with nostalgic rattan chairs is the perfect place to sip champagne and indulge in star gazing amidst the lush tropical greenery.

Being in the Bras Basah-Bugis district which is set to be the arts, culture, and entertainment hub in the city center, Wild Oats shares the premises with Emily Hill – a multi-talented and multi disciplinary group of creative people including an art gallery (MonsoonAsia Gallery), a glass artist (Ms. Tan Sock Fong), a theatre school (Theatre Training & Research Program) and renowned sculptor Mr. Sun Yu-li.

Although wild oats has a wide selection of drinks – easy drinking wine from both old and new world, local and international beers (including Hoegarden and Stella Artois) and classic/original cocktails, the most popular drinks are the Lambrini (a slightly sparkling perry from the UK), Emily Royale (wild oats' original champagne cocktail made with strawberry puree & crème de casis) and G.H. Mumm Champagne.

A small but delectable selection of finger food is also available. A Greek favorite, the feta and spinach pie is given a local twist and made into Feta Tofu & Spinach Wantons at wild oats. There are also the very popular Parmesan Wings, only the mid-section is used (because that's the best part!), deep fried to a golden crust and drizzled with your choice of homemade chicken-rice style super spicy chili sauce or a creamy gorgonzola sauce. If you want something more substantial, try one of the Hot Bitches (more politely known as Hot Dogs elsewhere), each one with different toppings including chili con carne & sautéed onions.

Relish noticed that everyone else serving burgers decided to adopt their white-washed décor with blackboards so they decided to move away from the pack and have chosen a darker and more sophisticated look with over-sized lampshades. Although much smaller than the original and widely acclaimed eatery in Cluny Court, the new Relish outlet at myVillage serves most of the old favourites and it's taken on all of the new design themes.

They have added many of their own favourite comfort foods (think pastas, soups, fish fillets, curries and braises!) to the existing burgers which continue to be on the list of Singapore’s best burgers and they continue to ensure that their patties are not made from dodgy parts (tails, ears, nose…) but rather from parts of the animal that were meant for burgers (chuck, shin, rib-eye).

Chef Willin’s wide range of burgers are both good & fun to eat – there are burgers which they don’t mess with (think greasy smoky bacon, melted emmental cheese, medium-rare juicy beef patty, guacamole all forced between lightly toasted sesame buns) to burgers that are – well not so traditional (for example – the Blue Cheese Beef Burger with Rucola, Poached Pear & Walnut Butter, the paper-thin omelet-wrapped Ram-Lee Burger, the Soft-Boned Char-Siew Pork Open Foccacia Burger & the Curry Chicken Burger).

Don’t forget their popular all-day brunch on Saturdays and Sundays, where they serve burger-inspired brunch items like their home-made pork & apple sausage patty breakfast burger and the smoked salmon, scrambled egg & cream cheese bagel. Oh yes, I almost forgot to mention their fresh fruit sangrias which are the best things you can drink on a lazy weekend.

What is a great burger without an ice-cold beer? They decided to pair all their burgers with beers they love – and from beer makers all over the world. They had a lot of fun (and many unproductive days) whilst tasting the various beers and pairing them with their burgers.

For those who, for reasons beyond them, do not like beer, they have milkshakes that are udder-ly delicious. They dislike artificial fruit flavoured syrups hence their fruit based milkshakes use only the juiciest fresh fruits that they can lay our hands on.
