Wildflowers @ KL

                                                                                     

  

From the same team who brought you, Merchants Lane comes Wildflowers KL – the latest food and beverage opening in the vibrant streets of Chinatown. While the former has reached almost legendary café status, the latter hopes to fill a gap in the restaurant scene. Filled with plants, a polished industrial-feel interior, some craft cocktails and an inventive fusion menu, the concept is promising.

Founding partner, Ken Ho, describes the concept. “We’ve grown up. It’s an evolution of Merchants Lane. Modern Asian dining. There are no rules. If I put it in my mouth, and it tastes good, it goes on the menu. We like to drink and eat, so we have evolved. Just like wildflowers, they grow wherever there are sunlight and rain. Our ideas just form. They are really random. You need to stand out and be a bit different from everyone else.” Co-founder, Matthew Goh, joins in, “we’re not crazy but very real.”

Wildflowers KL Location

Located on a corner lot, the walls of Wildflowers KL open up to the street, making the ground floor a casual, inviting space. Two semi-private dining areas, a bar and tables fill the eclectic space. My favouritism, however, leans towards the upstairs dining area with a massive amount of indoor greenery and a transparent ceiling streaming natural light.

On valentines 2020, my boyfriend and I decided to visit this place to celebrate our 4th valentines day together. It was very jam that night, we were worried that the restaurant will cancel our table so we called 15 minutes in advanced to hold our table. It took us 3 hours to arrive at wildflowers from our place and we were late for almost an hour at last. Despite us being late, the staff greeted us with a polite manner upon our arrival. It was a great start for our dinner.

Valentines menu 2020

One of the staff handed us the valentines menu. We were told that they only provide valentines menu on valentines day and they do not serve the food from the normal menu during that day. Therefore, we had no choice but to try their valentines menu. We also top up a little more for a bottle of wine. 

Below are the food that was included in the valentines menu. It is a 3 course meal which is priced at RM188 per couple. Feel free to look at their existing menu here https://www.instagram.com/wildflowers.kl/

                      

       

                                         

Wildflowers KL Review

The food were all very delicious yet affordable based on my own preference. It is refreshing to find a restaurant team not bound by the norm; one who grows wildly free in the development of a concept. Wildflowers KL is unlike any restaurant I know in the city. Many will come initially for the design, but even more, will return for the exciting menu of food and beverage.

Reasons to visit Wildflowers KL: value for money; decently sized portions; beautiful setting; refreshingly original dishes; casual fun atmosphere; conveniently accessed by the MRT.
