He says it will give him time to focus on a second Relish outlet and projects overseas but is not ruling out opening another fine dining destination
Being able to see opportunity in challenges and having the mettle to make the right choices are key to thriving in this restaurant industry, something chef-restaurateur Willin Low knows all too well. On October 31, the mod-Sin pioneer—and last year’s T.Dining Local Champion award recipient—will be closing the restaurant that has epitomised his creative yet unaffected approach to modern gastronomy for 13 years.
Several factors, from lease of the car park space next to Wild Rocket to the impending extensive renovation of Hangout Hotel, shares Low, have led him to the decision to shutter and not relocate. “It will take time to find the perfect location and I didn’t want to rush,” he tells T.Dining. “Besides I would be busy with two overseas projects, so I won’t be able to give my full attention to Wild Rocket, my first born.”
These two overseas openings, slated to welcome guests by year-end, are casual concepts that share the same aim, which is to bring his pioneering brand of mod-Sin cuisine to a global audience.
