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.

Buono: Italian Restaurant where I had the Best Salad Ever

Buono has a real Italian owner. I assume he was the owner because he entered the restaurant and greeted everyone warmly. I figured he must be Salvatore Buono. The restaurant’s decor is unique with playing cards stuck to the ceiling. … Continue reading

Old Hong Kong Taste at My Village (Serangoon Gardens)
