A Food Court within Reach

When I was a student just a few months ago, Holland Village was a 5-minute cab ride away from my apartment and school. It was the closest commercial neighborhood with a Cold Storage supermarket, a Häagen-Dazs, a Starbucks, a 7-Eleven, pharmacies, tailors, hair/nail salons, bakeries, newstands, banks, and a couple of restaurant strips with several bars (e.g., Irish, Aussie).

A delightful eating option there is the food court located in the back of the main Holland Road Shopping Center.

Before you start scrolling for food pictures, here is a basic table of differences between food courts and hawker centers for future reference.



Now for the pretty pictures.....

An Indian food stall with spicy curries and flavorful dishes.

A fish ball soup stall where you can grab a bowl and tongs, and throw in as many processed fish ball (much like imitation crab meat), vegetables, tofu, etc. as you'd like. Then you select the broth, hand over your custom bowl of precious soup ingredients, pay by the number of ingredients, and wait patiently for the cook to throw it all together and make magic happen.


A stall where you can get fresh fruit as well as juices made on the spot. You can mix and match as you'd like. Today called for sugarcane and watermelon.
