If you’ve been wondering how to whip up clean, yet exceptionally delectable food, let celebrity chef, Willin Low show you the ropes.
Let’s face it, we all have an annoying love-hate relationship with eating healthy. We understand the benefits that stem from it but if we were to go with our tastebuds, then clean eating doesn’t quite make us happy. Well, that all changed when we sat down for a brilliant spread of delectable and nutritional bites courtesy of Chef Willin Low at Wild Rocket.
Known for crafting the #WeLeanDiet, where every meal is chockfull of essential vitamins and minerals, Willin has always been an advocate of a healthier lifestyle. All of which was evident in the dishes he served up at our recent tasting at Wild Rocket. The lawyer-turned-chef definitely knew his way around the table as he introduced each dish with a little anecdote while we excitedly took bite after bite.
From the Chicken Salad to the Donburi, Snapper in Tom Yum Broth and Mushroom Soup, let’s just say every dish was an explosion of flavours. The chicken breast in the salad for instance was perfectly tender without being dry and topped off with shallot oil, fried shallots on a bed of tomatoes, nuts and oranges, we honestly would take this salad over a caeser salad anytime.
Then came the Donburi, which was served with red rice, tuna, salmon roe and a soft boiled egg. We were told to crack the egg and mix everything together before digging in – an appetizing dig it was. We quite simply couldn’t get more of it and coming from someone who doesn’t quite fancy any other type of rice besides white, we were definitely switching over our rice choices by the time we finished our bowl.
Now for vegetarians, we would highly recommend giving the Mushroom Soup a go – which was also affectionately dubbed the vegetarian bak ku teh. Served with a mushroom ravioli, the fragrant broth was quite simply a bowl of sheer comfort, we woudln’t mind having over and over again.
If you’re wondering these dishes must be difficult to whip up, think again. They’re in fact fairly easy and modified just so you can cook them at home with minimal hassle. Otherwise, if you’d like to skip on the cooking altogether, head down to Wild Rocket for a scrumptious treat!
There’s no space for disappointment here.
Wild Rocket is located at 10A Upper Wilkie Road.
