Joining the legion of cafes and restaurants arriving in from Singapore is Wild Honey, breakfast advocates who aren't afraid to serve daytime fare as late as 10pm. When in Pavilion, strut up to Level Six with your partner, or your business partner — whoever you need to please — for long lunches in this classy restaurant with oak furnishings. Perfectly poached eggs take the focus here, either coddled by a circle of tasty smoked salmon in the Norwegian (RM40) or sitting precariously atop toothsome beef pastrami and house-baked bagel in the Delancey (RM44). The Barbary (RM36), on the other hand, sees a golden fried egg next to a sweet-savoury combo of duck hash, duck confit and pink grapefruit hollandaise. For something daintier, the Trio of Scones (RM14) is teatime nirvana — plain, date and cranberry scones beckoning to meet the embrace of a dollop of clotted cream, French butter or raspberry jam.

Wild Honey's first KL outlet is located, aptly, in Pavilion and the sixth floor restaurant is a sight to behold. The furnishings exude elegance with a muted playfulness that will please diners from all walks. The menu is breakfast and brunch, with every section boasting a handful of specials to satisfy at any time of the day. Breakfast for dinner has never not worked for me, so the Norwegian (RM40) it is! The eggs were perfect — revealing a sea of golden yolk to the touch of my knife — and the hollandaise nicely done without being too overpowering. The same can be said of the smoked salmon and asparagus. It's safe to say that Wild Honey is a winner if you're looking for classics, done by the book. But it fell short for me, maybe because I expected something just a little more impressive when I fork out RM40 for a plate of eggs Norwegian.
