Their classic pasta menu is customizable and they have the very rare Cacio e Pepe which I want to try!
We left the place with no stomach room for desserts. With their impeccable services and chanting environment, it's hard not to be back again.
iO Osteria Restaurant Review - Italian food at HillV2 Hillview MRT, Upper Bukit Timah with pictures of menu and lunch ...
Wine Connection Bistro HillV2 has a bright contemporary look. We like the spaciousness of the restaurant.
Overall, the set lunch at Wine Connection was quite a substantial meal for $15. The pizza might be thin, but the slices do add up. In the end, there was more pizza than I could single-handedly consume.
A relatively good choice if you are looking for somewhere with less crowds during weekend, but we are unlikely to be back as hubby is really turned off by the chargeable spring water...Otherwise quite a good place to chill and relax and enjoy the food!
Food at Joyden Canton Kitchen is a mash-up of traditional but uncommon Chinese Cantonese dishes, and Modern Singaporean cuisine.
Service at Joyden Canton Kitchen is homely but efficient. Staff quickly clear up when diners leave, thoroughly cleaning and sanitising tables to prepare for the next guests.
Quality European and American Food that shifted from the Bukit Timah Old Fire Station to HillV2
Overall we thought that Jiak Modern Tze Char was a nice friendly restaurant to have a simple meal in the Upper Bukit Timah area. It is good that they open continuously throughout the day and diners can pop in during in-between hours. If only the flavoring of the dishes was less strong.
Happy drinks made for happy us, looking forward to seconds here at Starker Bistro, perhaps coupled with some light bites to go along with the delicious beers.
Not only is the interior of Starker beautiful, its exterior is equally welcoming. Thus, we chose to dine Al fresco to take advantage of the cool breeze.
Starker Fresh Beer may be more known for its alcoholic beverages, but they have also joined the fray into the F&B establishments as well.
It was quite empty on a weekday evening and seems like a good place to chill or even a place to do some work. The service was friendly and frankly, I do not mind making a return trip for its quiet environment and over some simple western food like this.
She Sells Seashells – Handcrafted Madelines at HillV2 Hillview Rise
While the food pricing is slightly steep, the quality at least justifies and the coffee is pleasant.
Opened by the team behind Ninepress who also runs Kyu Coffee Bar at Prudential Tower, Kohi-Ya offers Asian cuisine that comes with a Creative twist.
Overall, the experience of Kohi-Ya is actually pretty decent.
If the Circuit Breaker period has taught us anything, it’s not only that work-from-home arrangements have become the norm, but also bake-from-home arrangements as well.
Overall, it was a passable meal, but we walked away feeling unsatisfied and somewhat disappointed.
Overall, it is interesting to have the first look at the healthy and creative creations. If you are looking for something different this festive period, check out the Purple Rice Maki and Kinsa Mosaic Sushi set during this at Kinsa Sushi.
If you feel like having wagyu kamameshi or wagyu don, and staying around Hillview area then head on to Kinsa to try it as it is conveniently located around your neighbourhood.
The place is pretty cool and industrial, a good meeting place.
The coffee was good as well, but not better than its hip cafe competition, which is getting quite tough these days in Singapore. Service was polite and helpful. It is certainly a nice cafe but in this case, the saying that “the thrill was in the hunt” may possibly apply.
Cool cafe. Smooth latte. Free parking.
Apart from the smoked duck and Hainanese chicken, you can also find char siu, siu yuk, roasted chicken, sesame chicken and lemon chicken here.
Shi Mei Hainanese Chicken Rice Style is indeed standing up from the rest with its bean sprouts and the sauce used. If you are looking for a style away from our conventional chicken rice meal that is ladled with soy and sesame sauce over the chicken meat, you might want to give this a try.
This was a very popular chicken rice stall near Gombak MRT Station – a local favourite. The roast chicken was quite tender and fragrant, while the white chicken was less tender and was devoid of skin (again!). The rice was more grainy and 粒粒分明, and had good chicken and garlicky fragrance, going well with the potent chilli. A very serviceable rendition for residents around the area.
My favorite is the silverfish fritter. The tiny fishes are like little flavor bombs that release bursts of savoriness as you bite upon each one.
Overall, there are quite a few breakfast options in Ga-Hock. Having said that, Roasted Meat Noodles will not be my priority choice as I preferred other food there over this.
Popular Cze Char Place
Hainanese run Kopitiams, alongside their coffee and cuisine have a strong “foodhold” in one of Singapore’s yummiest neighbourhoods.
kaya toast was great, reminiscence of older times, thick soft bread and nice kaya with butter.
Overall, I find that this concept of offering a variety of Hainanese food in the food court is pretty interesting. It gives the diner a fresh experience and a one-stop-shop to enjoy the food.
I was near Bukit Batok today and decided to swing by that new Vietnamese stall (279 Bukit Batok East Ave 3).
The sweet and flavourful beefy soup was the clear Hanoi-style one, boiled from beef bones and spices like cloves, cardamom, star anise and cinnamon sticks. The pho was silky smooth, and came with fatty tender marbled beef slices, shank, tendon, qq beef ball and honeycomb tripe. Nice and comforting, especially on a rainy day such as this.
Chef Minh has put in a good effort to make these bowls of Vietnamese Pho affordable in the heartlands.
Nevertheless, once the no dining-in rules are relaxed, I am going to try it again to see how it compares.
Having enjoyed the modern twist on one of my favourite foods, I’ll be back to get my hands on their Hokkien Mee with Sambal-based toppings soon!
If you are in a mood for Hokkien Mee with a twist, you may want to pay a visit to Mian Wang 1971 and try out their different types of Hokkien Mee.
They are located at Chu Lin road which is around the Hillview Ave area. They are an Italian restaurant serving a variety of Italian dishes such as pasta, risotto, pizza, etc.
iO Italian Osteria is not that far away, but I'm happy to eat here again. Being such a cozy neighborhood place, the service was warm and fast.
The quality was decent, the service was fast, and the prices weren't as outrageous as they could've been.
Beside selling the noodles, if you like their handmade fish cakes, you can also order separately as an additional topping to your meal.
The noodles were tasty and springy with a bit of the sweet ketchupy and lardy traditional flavour, somewhat reminiscent of a childhood flavour. The handmade fishballs were bouncy and had a nice fish flavour. Overall worth queueing for.
If you love fishball noodles, you must give this a go.
The rustic ambience makes it a charming spot to take a breather from the hustle and bustle of life. A big monsoon drain with the sound of flowing water (no foul smell!) and a huge Bodhi tree (with songs from the caged birds) completes the experience.
Very fresh tasting prata, hot off the pan, with a nice floury fragrance, some crispy areas and edges, and soft eggy parts. All this was set in a nice kampong like environment opposite Mindef.
Though busy, the service from the team remain friendly and it left me a comfortable impression. The place is layback and I do not mind revisiting it.
