Wild Oats @ Punggol Park
The Place
In 2011, the dream of growing the Wild Oats concept came, when the National Parks of Singapore invited the Wild Rocket Group to set up Wild Oats at the beautiful & serene 15-Ha Punggol Park. Wild Oats @ Punggol Park is perched at the edge of a 5-Ha pond surrounded by lush tropical plants.
The Owner Chef
Leaving law practice to start Wild Rocket was Willin’s second biggest challenge and dream. To date, Willin’s biggest challenge is to ensure that his core team of staff are not only working alongside him but are co-owners of the businesses they work so hard for. In this regard, Willin also own, together with his core team, Relish @ Cluny Court, Relish @ MyVillage and Wild Oats @ Punggol Park.
Named by the New York Times as one of three chefs in Singapore who were “reinventing the city’s traditional food culture”, Willin was also chosen by the Financial Times as one of Singapore’s best chefs. The Wallpaper* magazine described Willin’s cuisine as “homespun but defiantly modern and imaginative cooking”.
Willin was also featured as one of the hundred world-wide chefs to look out for in the prestigious Phaidon publication; Coco: 10 World-Leading Masters Choose 100 Contemporary Chefs.

Nestled in the quiet enclave of Mt Emily Park, Wild Rocket is one of the few places in bustling Singapore, where you can dine in the tranquillity of a private garden.
Seating 65 guests comfortably, the restaurant with its floor-to-ceiling glass walls is located on the ground floor of the hip Hangout Hotel. Within it, there is a ‘convertible’ private dining area for a party size up to 22.

In 2007, Willin opened Relish, a casual family-style restaurant specialising in good quality burgers and week-end brunch paired with gourmet beers from around the world. He created a menu of classic burger choices like the Bacon Cheeseburger and more adventurous selections that include the Blue Cheese Beef Burger with poached Williams pear and walnut butter, Soft-Boned Char-Siew Pork Open Foccacia Burger and a twist on the Malaysian street favourite ‘Ram-Lee’ Burger.
Also in 2011, a second Relish outlet opened in myVillage at serangoon garden.
