The Wild Poppy - Metro Manila

It was my first time to be in this part of the growing hub for food establishments, Poblacion, Makati. The Wild Poppy is along Don Pedro Street corner Kalayaan. On the same spot where this restaurant and bar sits are three others, Smokeyard, Alamat and a dessert place, Bucky's. Wild Poppy has appealing wooden interiors. Its layout equally divides al fresco and indoor facilities. Its menu is out of the box, an unusual fusion of Asian flavors found on both of their food and beverages. I got Chicken Ren Damn Rice Bowl. It's chicken rendang with spicy flavor spot on but missed out on serving. There was less than 20 grams of actual chicken in this 'damn' dish, I was wondering why I did not have it returned. It was like giving them my money without any exchange. For my drink, Hornet's Mojito, it had half of the world's sugar supply in it. It could be the sweetest glass I've ever had in my foodie journey. And that says a lot. I barely touched this as well. There is potential for me to like this place. It had a good vibe, but tonight it died with their offering. Maybe they should invite me and make up for their mess? Hi, The Wild Poppy. Tonight was wild, indeed. alwayshungry.ph

We had dinner at The Wild Poppy. It was a good experience. The place is so homey and cool. You'll feel relaxed and comfortable. The food is good and not too pricey :) This is the kind of place that you'll have a drink and chill with your friends.

Cocktails was great but not cheap, their food were really good, the place is hip and cool. I'll definitely be going back again.. l love the salmon with wild rice.

Good drinks, good ambience. Definitely going back for the food and cocktails. This is a must try when youre in Poblacion. :) there are other establishments in the area as well, so if you feel like walking around to explore and appreciate the neighborhood or to go bar/restaurant-hopping, you may freely do so.
