My Village: Little Wimbly Lu
Not much space to sit here and wish they took up 2 units instead (but yes it wouldn’t be called little then). The iced earl grey tea was refreshing but B found the green tea latte too sweet. Lovely decor … Continue reading
My Village: Duke Bakery
Duke Bakery has opened a branch at My Village. The breads here are tasty but expensive. Not as good as Maison Kayser in terms of moist chewiness but better than most other similar type bread shops.

My Village: The Japanese Food was Pretty Good at Shin Kushiya

Macarons at NTUC Finest & The Icing Room
I was surprised to find Macarons at NTUC Finest at My Village. But the meat section? Ok gourmet meat section. But isn’t that quite inappropriate? Makes the macaron totally loose it’s sophistication, or should I say, snob appeal. On the … Continue reading

Old Hong Kong Taste at My Village (Serangoon Gardens)
At first I thought the service was lacking, but they might have been busy due to the Chinese New Year Corporate lunches. There was a plump older Singaporean aunty who was bringing the Dim Sum around and she tried so … Continue reading

Since we were in the area, we decided to check out My Village again. I really like this sleepy tiny mall, in this old estate. Subway is now open, but not Bakerzin or the beer garden proposed at the rooftop. … Continue reading
