Holland Village

a town of Singapore — sights & hawker food, sourced

Holland Village 33 places · area 1 of 1

  1. 1 Must see within Holland Village

    Ghim Moh Market & Food Centre

    The Holland-Ghim Moh district's great hawker centre: opened in 1978, rebuilt in a 2015 facelift and refreshed again in a March-May 2024 renovation, yet still old-school neighbourhood in feel — around 72 cooked-food stalls over a wet market, famous for chwee kueh, braised duck, hor fun and carrot cake, a short walk from Buona Vista MRT.

    Look for Hawker centre & wet market; most stalls breakfast-to-lunch, some till evening

    20 Ghim Moh Road, Singapore 270020

  2. 2 Must see within Holland Village

    Ghim Moh Chwee Kueh

    A household name since 1959 and a Michelin Guide pick: soft-but-springy steamed rice cakes (minimum four) heaped with chye poh fried over a charcoal stove, which gives the preserved radish a smokier depth than the gas-cooked norm.

    Ghim Moh Market & Food Centre, #01-54, 20 Ghim Moh Road, S270020

  3. 3 Must see within Holland Village

    New Lucky Claypot Rice

    Holland Drive's headline stall and a Michelin Bib Gourmand year after year (incl. 2024 and 2025): every claypot is cooked from scratch over charcoal, so the grains stay separate with a crackling crust — call ahead, because the wait can run to an hour.

    Holland Drive Market & Food Centre, #02-19, 44 Holland Drive, S270044

  4. 4 Must see within Holland Village

    Chuan Kee Boneless Braised Duck

    Ghim Moh's Michelin Bib Gourmand duck stall: boneless Teochew-style braised duck over rice, kway teow or congee, dressed in a dark herbal gravy whose braising stock is reused and replenished daily — a $3-$5 bowl with years of depth in it.

    Ghim Moh Market & Food Centre, #01-04, 20 Ghim Moh Road, S270020

  5. 5 Must see within Holland Village · Hawker & zi char

    Ru Ji Kitchen

    A MICHELIN Bib Gourmand hawker across two adjoining stalls: noodle soup or 'dry' noodles with minced pork, pork balls or fish balls hand-made on the spot — the yellowtail fishballs are the draw.

  6. 6 Worth the detour within Holland Village

    Holland Drive Market & Food Centre

    The Holland Drive estate's two-storey market and food centre, home to a Michelin Bib Gourmand claypot rice (New Lucky), a Michelin-recognised kway chap (Cheng Heng), Margaret Drive Sin Kee chicken rice and a well-loved Malay breakfast stall — the residents' hawker centre just south of the Holland V bar strip.

  7. 7 Worth the detour within Holland Village · Hawker & zi char

    Hin Fried Hor Fun

    Fried to order over a superheated wok so the flat rice noodles take on real wok hei before the gravy goes in — the brown-sauce beef hor fun is the bestseller; written up by Dr Leslie Tay and Miss Tam Chiak and tested by Seth Lui as one of Singapore's best-rated hor fun.

  8. 8 Worth the detour within Holland Village · Malay & nasi Padang

    Shima's Kitchen

    The Malay stall at Holland Drive that tastes like someone's mum cooked it — creamy coconut lontong and mee soto in the morning, then a changing nasi padang spread (rendang, petai, curry chicken) that sells out early.

    Ghim Moh Carrot Cake

    The most popular carrot cake at Ghim Moh — a family stall that makes both the radish cake and the chye poh from scratch daily; the queue starts at 6:30am and limited portions sell out, rewarding early birds with strong wok hei.

    Cheng Heng Kway Chap and Braised Duck Rice

    A Michelin-recognised kway chap (Michelin Plate, 2018) where the broad rice sheets swim in a herbal soy broth beside braised pork and innards, plus the stall's famous finely sliced braised duck — expect a 30-minute morning queue.
