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 ...
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.
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.
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!

The wait for our dishes were more than 30 minutes on a Weekend. Despite that the coffee shop has no crowd, Erikos.sg has quite a number of food deliveries order in the queue. Was it worth the wait? Well, there is better western fare in the distreet.
It’s a shame that I live way too far away from Bukit Batok because Erikos.SG does serve up pretty good-quality Western nosh at affordable prices. Easties needn’t worry though, as they also have an outlet in Bedok!
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 service crew is bubbly and always bring a smile when serving our ordered item. Jovial and manage to bring a smile on his customer's face. With so many signature dish on the item, I will like to make another trip down and order other items.
Never have I trudged to a family dinner so dutifully only to exit at the other end, quite so starry eyed and evangelical.
I don’t have a doubt that vegetarian food can taste amazing and many restaurants can attest to that.
With the friendly service and variety of food, it is most likely I will be back again for other kinds of vegetarian selection.
The cafe is pretty decent and does not have exaggerating or fanciful decorations. I won't mind making a return any sooner.
This quaint cafe goes to show that cafe food doesn’t need to be pretentious nor pricey. If you’re looking for a simple cafe meal that isn’t gimmicky, Cuppafield is the place for you.
Enjoy a traditional Teochew Cuisine Steamboat Fish from a Cloisonne.
The fish head steamboat was light at first but was flavorful gradually as the red snapper fish slices and vegetables were added.
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.
This is what the accompanying ingredients for lor mee should be like – pork belly and ngoh hiong. The savoury sauce was very very sticky but not so heavy in terms of flavour, such that you can drink it separately. The alkaline flavour of the noodles was very strong though. Normal bowl of lor mee.
Bukit Batokians recommended Lor Mee in the vicinity.
It wasn’t the best Hokkien mee I’ve ever had, but was well-worth the price and quite yummy. I’d definitely be a regular if I lived close by.
Satays are skewed to perfection, accompanied by aromatic chunky peanut sauce.
For some time now, when it came to Greek cuisine in Singapore, my go-to has always been Blu Kouzina, which has been operating out of their beautiful space at Dempsey.
With rather generous portions, Xiang Ji Roast Chicken Rice & Noodles will fill you up without burning a hole in your wallet. If you happen to be in the Bukit Batok area, you might want to drop by to get your Char Siew and Roasted Pork fix!
The stall served competent roasts, a bit better than your everyday neighbourhood roasts, with the duck flavourful and tender enough, and the sio bak balanced and flavourful with fairly crispy rind. The char siew was so so though, a bit tough albeit with some char.
Quality European and American Food that shifted from the Bukit Timah Old Fire Station to HillV2
The noodles were springy and crunchy, and drenched in a nice savoury oyster sauce-like sauce with a hint of dang gui flavour and fragrance. The duck was flavourful with some bite, with good fattiness and flavourful skin with a pronounced dang gui flavour. Very nice.
The noodle was well mixed in its sauce and texture was springy.
Overall, I find that the star is still Dang Gui duck and we can skip the rest of the roasted meat if you have limited stomach space to try on.
Nice rounded and thickly flavoured soup with a balance of sweetness and savouriness, full of pork and sweet prawn flavours. The ingredients were meagre, but I will come back for the soup.
Hidden in WCEGA Plaza is Singapore Prawn Noodle which serves prawn noodles, laksa, Teochew fishball noodles, and more.
