Walking into Botanica + Co is like entering a different realm. The grime, heat and thunderous whirr of machinery in the distance seem to melt away, giving way to a visual fairyland. Sunlight streams in through the full-length glass wrapped around the circumference of the eatery and plants, there are fresh flowers everywhere and ficus trees (yes, actual ficus trees) stand majestically in the middle of the restaurant. It’s all so surreal that you half expect pixies and fairies to emerge from the woodwork too!
“We wanted the restaurant to have a canopy of trees, so you would feel like you’re dining in a greenhouse setting,” said Tay Hui Ying, Botanica + Co’s brand development manager. Tay and her husband Teng Ei Liang are the main partners behind this spanking new restaurant in the heart of Bangsar South. The Singaporean couple also has a restaurant in the Lion City called Fat Lulu’s. With Botanica + Co, and sister restaurant Botanica Deli, just across from the restaurant, they are looking at widening that empire just a tad.
