$20 for $40 Worth of Food and Drinks at Wild Oats @ Emily Hill

While typical office workers flock to bars in the evening for the essential post-work tipple, bartenders escape to the nearest office building every morning to satisfy their post-work paperwork cravings. Enjoy the perks of working a 9-to-5 with today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of food and drinks at Wild Oats @ Emily Hill.

The sister bar to Wild Rocket, a restaurant set up by ex-lawyer-turned-restaurateur Willin Low, Wild Oats is a charmingly chic watering hole housed in a colonial mansion amidst a sprawling garden in the Bras Basah-Bugis area. Slake your thirst under the balmy night sky on a comfortably creaky rattan chair in the al fresco area, or opt for air-conditioned comfort indoors amongst sleek leather armchairs and designer bar stools. Drinks on hand include wine from the old and new world, local and international beers, and a slew of classic and original cocktails such as the Lambrini – a slightly sparkling Perry from the UK – as well as the Emily Royale (Wild Oats’ original champagne cocktail made with strawberry puree and crème de cassis).

Prevent the dreaded post-post-work drink hangover with Wild Oats’ sublime selection of finger food. A perennial crowd-pleaser and taste-bud-pleasurer are the Parmesan Wings, known all over the land for their golden crusts, juicy insides and sinfully delectable sauce – pick from a homemade chicken rice-style chilli dressing or gorgonzola cream. The bar’s offering of Hot Bitches (known more politely in hoity-toity society as Hot Dogs) promise to satisfy all carnivorous cravings, such as pork sausages topped with a spicy beef sauce and creamed peas, and beef ‘dogs topped with sun-dried tomato salsa and an Italian cheese sauce.

Reviews:

Wild Oats has been featured in publications such as The Sunday Times, Singapore Tatler and Wine & Dine.

“Wild Oats has both a pretty retro-chic indoor space and a nice al fresco deck. It also sports a small but fun menu offering parmesan-crusted chicken wings served with either chilli sauce or cheese sauce; three different kinds of hot dogs; feta cheese wontons; and wasabi prawns. At present, the chicken wings are the bar’s best-selling item. S and I liked them a lot. They were really nice and crispy, but also moist and juicy. Perfect with a beer or one of the bar’s signature cocktails. Wild Oats is a nice place to head after a tough day of work. Sitting on the deck, sipping an icy-cold pear cider, you could even forget you’re in Singapore. The bar has a great chilled-out vibe which is guaranteed to calm you down and make you forget whatever it was that was annoying you just a couple of hours earlier.” – Chubby Hubby, popular food blogger
