After our heavy dinner,  we decided to sit down for a cuppa to end our wonderful meal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My first visit to Wild Honey as i have heard a lot of good reviews.  Its was pity that the restaurant was too crowded for that day so we could only drop by for coffee and desserts.     We got to the Wild Honey at about 9.20pm and the staff informed us politely that last order  was 9.30pm cos the restaurant will be closed at 10.30pm (which wasnt a big deal since we were only gonna have drinks).  At 10pm,  the originally dimmly lit restaurant was suddenly as bright as daylight (** Guess it was their subtle way of  telling customers to finish up their food)  so we thought we still had 30mins to finish up our coffee and cakes.  At 10.15pm,   a friendly staff went round each table to inform of the closing time,  another had a taken out his pail and mop, and started mopping the floor while some customers were finishing up their food even when they were still 15 mins prior to closing time.  My last 30 mins in Wild Honey was quite a disappointment.  A restaurant who had created such a nice ambience and food experience was spoilt in just a few mins.  Think incidents like this will only happen in Singapore.  Hope the management will look into this.  No doubt is not a big deal but a meer 15 mins sure bring the restaurant service to a different standard.
