Holland village is a small commercial enclave near the Buona Vista MRT station and is close to Queenstown area in Singapore. A popular venue for younger Singaporeans and expatriates, it is dominated by and often visited solely for its expatries. The faint scent of diffrent types of food will make you hungry when it reaches your nose. In Holland Village there are also some specialist shops selling non-traditional wares. The place is sometimes reffered as "Holland V''.
This small area of Singapore still has the feel of a village with its own wet market and shophouses. A curious mix of old and new can be found at Holland Village. For example, old coffee shops and hawker stalls jostle for space with ritzy new wine bars and restaurants. The Holland Road shopping centre is alive with interesting shops, including some selling Asian Arts and Crafts.
The Holland Village shopping mall is a landmark in Holland Village with its distinctive windmill at the top of building.
During weekend, much of Singapore seem to congregate at Holland Village to shop, chat and have a meal. My family does that too. When my family and I go to Holland Village we eat and shop. Everytime we go to Holland V, we usually eat at the fast food restuarant like Burger King or Subway. And sometimes at the food court which sells Indian cuisines. I could just taste the spicy, aromatic curry from the stall. The food at indian cuisines will be just as delicious. Maybe after that we will go to the ice cream shop to eat our desseret. When we go to shops that sell clothes, cosmetic and accesories, we spend plenty of time there. In my opinion, Holland Village is really a unique place in Singapore and I really like it.
