To name a restaurant WOLF is just a catchy genius. Opened by The
Privé group, WOLF is a pork centric restaurant and focus on the nose
to tail dining experience.
While you might be familiar with Kurobuta and Iberico pork, you will
soon be intimate with Mangalica, Nagano and Duroc-Landrace type of
porks as well. These are the Five Little Piggies that made up the
Pork Chop selections for WOLF. For those non Moo Moo eater, WOLF is a
definitely a new dining destination for you.

The restaurant is decorated to pay homage to the adult version of
Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf. There is an engraved picture
of the Wolf, along with the three little pigs are well-decorated on
the walls the restaurants. For night dining, the restaurant is dimly
lit and the setting is very comfortable. Looking for a place for
romantic dinner, this is it. The music playing on the background is
funky R&B genre. Great environment, but a real challenge for a
blogger like me to take natural shot in this environment.

While waiting for QC to arrive, we decided to place the
order for starters to share. Pan Roasted Duck Liver ($32), Grilled Ox
Tongue ($38) and one of our daring dish to try Grilled Beef Hearts
($22). Duck Liver is supposed to be the cheaper 'cousin' compare to
goose liver. However, cooked it properly and combined it with port
wine poached figs and aged balsamic vinegar, you can't tell the
difference. It tasted velvety and melts in your mouth. Yum Yum.

The grill ox tongue is just tender and lightly seasoned. There is no
fat in the tongue and it works well with the lentils. The most
challenging dish is the Grilled Beef Hearts. The texture is springy
texture and gamey as well. Yes, gamey is a nice word for strong foul
smell, We do not recommend this dish for the weak stomach and
sensitive palates. We definitely won't order it next time as well.
The greens, walnuts, grapes and dressing actually work well as warm
salad without the beef heart.

Our Mains basically Pork Centric, we had Nagano Pork Chop ($40),
Mangalica Pork Chop ($42) and Grilled Duroc Pork Collar ($30). As
recommended by our service staff, we have ordered our pork chop
medium rare because it is direct comparison on how we take our steak.
This is the way to taste the tenderness and juiciness of the pork.
Nagano Pork Chop originated from Japan but breed in Canada. The
texture of the meat are superior marbling, pinker meat, and the taste
comparable to aged wagyu beef.

Mangalica Pork has the highest percentage of fats among the pork,
resulting the meat that just melts in your mouth. It is flavourful,
tender and succulent. For the Duroc Pork Collar, the meat is so
tender comparable to any of the pork chops. Pork collar has a lower
fat content and the combination with chimichurri tomatoes is just
amazing. All the meats are well seasoned, the sauces seems to be well
suited for decoration only. Amazingly delicious.

For desserts, we decided to order Eton Mess ($13) and Chocolate Stout
Cake ($14). The later has a dense texture with a rich chocolate
flavour. The berry reduction helps to balance richness, but it is
just too heavy to end the night. Eton Mess on the other hand is just
perfect. Everything are thrown in together to create different
texture with tantalising taste. The balsamic syrup works well to bind
and balance all the ingredients for perfect ending to erase the
overwhelming sensation from the pork.

Service is impeccable. They know everything about the menu and
patiently explain to us about the different taste of the pork chop.
We were actually quite surprise that with the quality of the food, no
other customer was there. Almost looks like we booked the whole
restaurant.
If you ever dine in Privé group outlets, they always give something
for the diners to bring back with them. For Wolf, you get pork
crackling to bring home. Unfortunately it was just too tempting, it
did not even pass the front door before it goes Poof!!

Overall, I did not know that Pork Chop can be so good. After this
experience, I will have think twice on what to order next time I
choose between Pork Chop and Steak. For a truly wonderful dining
experience, Wolf got two thumbs up by Chubby Botak Koala. Cheers!!
