Wild Coco (Jln Besar)

Huge portion of juicy chicken . Drinks are very nice

Coconut panna cotta is firm & smooth but lack of coconut fragrance, can be softer; topped with housemade black sesame taste which is fragrant & rich but not overpowering the custard taste; topped with sesame florentine which is crunchy & sweet, best to end of with it..

Sotong is fresh, firm, crunchy & tossed with onions in sambal sauce; sauce is savory & not spicy; best for sharing..

Thick noodles tossed in laksa sauce & stir-fried to mild smoky taste; with fish cakes & small pieces of crispy beancurd puff; came with 2 pieces of tiger prawn & 2 pieces of scallop which could be fresher; otherwise a well-executed dish worth a try..

Chicken leg is well-marinated with spices, deep-fried till crispy outside while maintaining its tenderness & succulent; rice is fluffy & infused with coconut fragrant; came with sunny side up, ikan bilis, peanuts, cucumber & sambal; 1 of the better atas nasi lemak worth a try..

Pricey but a really tender and succulent piece of fried chicken leg, Wild Coco’s Ayam Berempah Leg ($10.90) comes coated with shreds of aromatic lemongrass and ginger. With no flour batter, the sizeable spiced-rubbed protein felt lighter than most and not as cloying. The flavour from the seasoned crust was also nicely balanced and the wonderfully browned skin was crispy. However, the insides could use a little more oomph from the marination, in my opinion. The Chao Ta Chee Cheong Fun ($13.90) was decent. Full of wok hei, it can get a bit bitter with the over-charred edges. The two large tiger prawns were nicely done though.
