Its signature pizza, La Nonna, boasts tomato sauce, mozzarella, parmesan, asparagus, egg, and black truffle paste. We tasted just a hint of truffle that complemented the flavours of parmesan, asparagus, and egg without smothering them.

Cha Cha Cha Mexican Restaurant, established in 1990, is one of the oldest dining spots in Holland Village. We figure its longevity is an indication of its enduring popularity.
While it offers classic dishes like tacos and chimichangas, we opted for something different. We tried the grilled sea bass, served with flavourful Veracruz (rich tomato) sauce and fragrant cilantro rice—a healthy and satisfying choice!
Pro-tip: Do give the lime margarita a try for a refreshing way to wash down your meal.

Tai Cheong Bakery, renowned for its delicious egg tarts, also offers a must-try French toast. This version is made with slightly sweet white bread coated in an egg wash and pan-fried until golden brown.
The result is a fluffy yet crisp texture. We like to add salted butter and maple syrup or homemade dulce de leche for an extra sumptuous breakfast treat.
Pro-tip: Pair the toast with unsweetened milk tea, which is robust and not bitter.

VietSmith offers contemporary Vietnamese cuisine, featuring a variety of heartwarming pho options like poached shredded chicken, homemade chicken meatballs, grilled chicken dry vermicelli, sliced beef, beef meatballs, and oxtail.

The marinated prawns are springy and infused with lemongrass flavour, served with pickled vegetables and chilli fish sauce.

Sometimes, a cone of soft-serve ice cream is enough to pick you up after a long day. Even better if it’s in a refreshing, unique flavour.
Sunday Folks’ Earl Grey lavender soft serve does this to us. Topped with lavender-infused konjac plant jelly cubes, blueberries, almond brittle, and soft cubes of cheesecake, it offers a subtle, unique flavour that pairs perfectly with waffles.
