Spices at Wild Coco

It was a hot afternoon, but lunch was made comfortable by the lovely staff of Wild Coco at Boat Quay. There is an overhead fan that's struggling against the mid-day heat, so the staff brought out another floor fan, and that was really helpful in circulating air around. 

The restaurant has a few locations now. There're two outlets at Hamilton Road and McCallum Street at Amoy that are convenient to us too, but this Circular Road outlet is the most conducive outdoors for us and the floofs. The sun does hit at noon, so a table of four seated outdoors is not feasible. Two pax is fine. 

This hot weather has no bearing on whether our cravings for hot soup and spices. It's weird not to have spices in our bowls. Hehehhe. A premium laksa for me, and ayam goreng berempah (breast meat) for the husband. The laksa is really pretty good, so much better than the weaksauce bowl that degenerated at PS Cafe before they took it off the menu. The husband really liked the breast meat option here. We also shared a burnt green chilli eggplant, and a house-made thick mackerel otah. They were all super satisfying.

It was a sweat-fest. But lunch was soooo satisfying. It stormed this morning, and oddly, it was still cloudy at mid-day. It wasn't as blistering as we expected hot today, so we took an easy stroll around the area for the floofs to make a piddle before retreating back to air-conditioning, chilled water and some lunch for them.
