cafe 211

One of the gems in Holland Village is the rooftop Cafe 211 . I love love love going for dinner here. Nice ambience, not too crowded, a bit secluded and yum yum food !


Went for lunch here once, not good. It was scorching !

I always get the spaghetti vongole. The zhup is fantastic. All garlic and chillies. I'm fussy with my food. I don't really eat shellfish unless the shells have been removed and I'm definately not a fan of oysters, abalone, clams etc . It's all too slimy for me so for me to rave about this, it has to be bloody good.


Grumpy being a rice man, always gets the risotto . Risotto, if not done properly, can easily end up too wet, too dry or too bland. Cafe 211's seafood risotto is oozy and cheesy. In this instance, I requested extra rice for him since he usually polishes his off real quick then sits around and gives me a puppy-dog-wide-eyed-please-feed-me look. They agreed to add more at no extra charge, very nice of them . After all that, Grumpy struggles to finish it and says very gelat. Better off with a smaller serving after all ..... T_T

The only problem here is the Coke. It always has a chlorinated flavour to it. Coke + Chlorine = NO !
