When chef Michael Wilson took his Golden Retriever, Milo, to an animal communicator just for fun, he wasn’t expecting to hear, “The dog said he’s bored and he wants to work”.
Wilson has also just launched a new concept, called Hortus, on the second floor in the Flower Dome, turning the casual cafe space into a Mediterranean restaurant complete with a beautiful new pergola. “On the weekend, it forces you to go out into nature. Would I go to the beach on a Monday if I didn’t have a dog? Honestly, probably not,” he chuckled. “He’s helped me to relax a bit.”
As Wilson was getting settled in Singapore, his wife went back to fetch Milo. But before they could return, India closed its borders. Wilson recalled, “In Shanghai, there was a gelato shop around the corner from my house. You know when you get to a corner and you want to go one way but the dog wants to go the other way? The lady would always come out and give him some gelato. So, he’s very fond of frozen treats.”Beach days notwithstanding, it’s a busy time for Wilson as he launches not one but three new concepts.
