Since it is located on the quieter side of Holland Village, it will be an ideal place for gathering and catching up with friends.
Sunday Folks and % Arabica : Waffles and Coffee at Holland Village Singapore
Pretty flavourful moist meat in a savoury package of umami and some sweetness from those onions.
not particularly hot on this place myself, but it is doable to come once in a while. in fact this my first time here!
Da Paolo Pizza Bar is one of the more enduring tenants of the Chip Bee Gardens side of the Holland Village enclave. A casual restaurant specialising in pizza, it's part of the Da Paolo Group of dining concepts.
Really nice pastries, innovative, buttery and done to just the right texture.
Keong Saik Bakery Holland Village review, coffee and cake break at new cafe at Chip Bee Gardens with pictures of menu with prices, coffee and pastries
The robusta black kopi was potent and punchy, yet somewhat light, floral and refined. The sor hei, eaten as a takeaway and without heating up, was quite normal and even a bit stodgy, although you could still taste the softness inside and crispy layers outside.
Really mild and milky latte, almost a bit characterless.
Arabica’s Cafe Latte had a pleasantly bitter aftertaste that was soothed by the mellow creaminess of the milk.
Not to the extent of making a trip to Holland Village for the coffee. Regardless, it is still a decent coffee spot as an alternative to Tiong Bahru Bakery.

We really enjoyed the food and was well fed.
For $120 a head, we ate the best homecooked Peranakan meal.
The cake was moist and perfumed with lemon zest, making for a wonderful afternoon treat.
I bet you’ll struggle to decide on the amount that you should give, like we did.
I remember having Original Sin at least 10 or 15 years ago when I was not very keen on vegetarian food and my friend was trying to convince me that vegetarian food could be as tasty as non-vegetarian options
Overall, the meal at Madrinaa was slightly lacklustre and nothing too outstanding to make an impression. The service was attentive as we were the only ones in the restaurant during lunch. I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt that their pizza might be the better menu since that is the speciality as per their website
Portion on the other hand was small and taste as an overall was mediocre.
Checking out New Lucky Claypot Rice 新鸿运瓦煲饭which was listed in the Michelin guide. The chicken claypot rice was cooked to order, thus there was a long wait.
New Lucky Claypot Rice at Holland Village serves a mean claypot, but avoid the soups.
The dining frenzy passed quickly and everything quietened down around 8pm when the wave of customers finished their dinner.

日式炸猪排是这里的主打之一，黑豚炸猪排（Kurobuta Rosu Katsu, $17.50）厚片里脊肉，外层裹上日本面包屑，完美油炸，外层酥脆爽口，里层鲜美多汁，搭配清爽包菜丝去油解腻。
Their grilled fishes were quite nicely done and there's a kaisen chahan that was unexpectedly peppery. The latter wasn't a bad thing.
Food at Tai Cheong Bakery is classic Hong Kong tea house cuisine, focusing on snack, desserts, and light bites.
Order this to try as we saw most of the table ordering it! Turn out it was good. I can taste the truffle in every bite and the cheese was well spreaded.
Overall, Tai Cheong Bakery definitely served the comfort food that the Hong Kongers have on daily basis. It is good, but don't expect extraordinary stuff. We'll definitely make a return visit, just not very keen on spending too much time lining up. Cheers!!
The homeliness of the cuisine was felt through the dish. Though the price may be considered pricey, their portion made justice to what we were paying for. It is hardly that we come across a good authentic Italian place like this. I don't mind looking into other items in the menu if I'm back here again.
The ribeye steak with red wine sauce turned out as well as the fish. Together with the cod, it was an enjoyable western food takeaway lunch. A change from the bentos and zi char food that we tend to gravitate towards.
The lasagne was good but nothing to rave about. The taste was authentic but we think it could have done better with more meat. We would definitely try the 1-for-1 La Nonna takeaway promotion again. It is a good deal if you are looking for unpretentious Italian fare at reasonable prices. Maybe next time round we would order the La Nonna pizza again but try another pasta.
The miso bowl looked a deeper brown than the regular bowl.
Overall, a decent and interesting bowls. I think there were some aspects that lowered the dining experience.
You can taste that his duck ramen is not merely by putting different components together but each process from the soup, duck and noodle is carefully thought through and probably many months of taste test until the right formula is obtained.
Black Marble, a steak and grill concept by respected culinary veteran Chef Otto Weibel, is set to take you on a gastronomical journey with its brand-new menu mainstays!
Lobster and scallop saffron risotto was very good.
Specialising in grilled items, Black Marble selectively sources meats from Australia, Japan and USA, and they will be all chargrilled to bring out the best of their qualities for you to savour upon.
The fish was quite fresh, tasty and creamy. Not bad.
If there are not further constrains, the restaurants can consider selling some hot side dishes.
Umi Nami proved to be a simple, no-frills Japanese eatery. Their prices are low, but so was their generosity.
House Downstairs Cafe review 下樓家 at Ulu Pandan CC, Ghim Moh market, with pictures of menu, interior ...
The fried rice had a nice subtle flavour, and was pressed together almost like a chicken rice ball. The seafood were all fresh, bouncy and sweet. The broth was very good, full of the sweetness and umami of seafood, and murky with flavour. It was a pity there was so little of the broth.
The coffee here is pretty good as well, with a relatively simple menu on offer, though the coffee did register a little more acidic than at other coffee houses, which I quite liked.
Without recommendation from friends, I doubt I would ever check out Mian Jia Noodle Bar at Holland Village ; reason being there are too man...
The noodles had a very thick robust broth, full of crustacean flavours and resembling a lobster bisque. It reminded me of the prawn broth at Naked Finn – this was fine praise.
I am glad that I have discovered a new noodle place that serves a delicious and a quality bowl of noodle.
TBH, AMANO ITALIAN RISTORANTE is quite inaccessible and is located Namly pl. It is considered a hidden gem in the Bukit Timah area.
Dessert at dinner was Warm Lava Cake ($12 each). The warm molten chocolate cake with vanilla gelato and fresh berries brought our meal at Amano Italian restaurant in Bukit Timah to a sweet end.
Amano apparently means ‘by hand’ in Italian. Situated next to Puppy Colours (a dog training school), Amano Italian restaurant occupies the space of a previous Italian restaurant – the former Namly outlet of La Nonna which currently has an outlet at Holland Village.
