Today, I visited the Holland Village of Singapore. It's an area the Dutch community made in early 1900s. You can find many lively bars, Western food and lots of landed houses in this area.
But my goal today was to look for the Holland windmills and the remains of the villages. Was it successful?

今日はシンガポールのオランダ村（Hollan Village オランダビレッジ）に潜入しました！
中心地からそう遠くない位置にあるこのエリアは、シンガポールのイギリス植民地時代、多くのイギリス軍の家族が住んでいたそう。その名残で今も欧米人が多数住んでおり、洋食やバーも多いです。
ものすごい速度で近代化されたシンガポールですが、果たして村の名残はあるのでしょうか？一緒にオランダビレッジを探索しましょう。

Ghib san. You are really becoming more local than a Singaporean.😅 I notice you enjoying walking the heartland and eating at hawker centres. This is also probably why you are getting more and more popular in Singapore. 👍

Holland Village was named after Holland Road, which in turn was named after Hugh Holland in 1907; Holland, an architect and amateur actor, was an early resident of the area. It does not have anything to do with the country Holland. There used to have a shopping center which was demolished called the windmill.

Ghib Ojisan, i have an assignment for you. There is a old uncle who used to be cobbler in Yishun Interchange. He is a Japanese but brought up by SIngapore Chinese because his mother married a local chinese. When he knows more about his heritage, he self learnt Japanese. I remember that his daughter took up his trade. There is also a tution centre ran by Japanese descendant which i read in newspaper. Both stories, i read it in newspaper. Maybe, you can link up with them and broaden your knowledge about them and maybe, share it here :))

about 2 years ago, they did have a building by the name of windmill and a 2D windmill as the front of the building but they tore it down and built the area where Sazeriya was located at. And where you saw the low buildings with cute boutiques and cafe is known as Chip Bee Gardens.

The spoon is for stirring the coffee as the barista most of the time does not mix the milk and coffee if eating in. And also to cool it down if it's too hot.

You were so close to this Holland Close Graveyard /Hakka Cemetery! You can make a trip there in the future. You will get a surprise how this graveyard area is right smack in the housing estates I once accidentally walked into it as I was too engrossed in my phone. I was thinking at the point 8:21 you would stumbled upon that area too. haha 😳

@kaijiale 4 года назад

I was searching if anyone has commented on this. My family's yearly affair there to pray to my grandparents and my dad. @Ghib Ojisan should really go take a look during the tomb-sweeping week. Really quite a sight to see, for a foreigner I believe.

When you were at yakun, i was literally shouting that you are right under the windmill... Just tt you are a couple if years late. Holland v was a big part of my student life. You could have went to the holland drive area where there is the xo fish head.

The windmill used to be on top of the shopping mall with Saizereiya. Holland village has one of the nicest bars with good music, you should head down to WALAWALA after 10pm. They have pretty good bands.

@TheJoeHayashi 4 года назад

The windmill use to be on top of the building (Holland V shopping mall) where the Saizeriya is located but the building went through a renovation(torn down actually and renamed "Holland Piazza building)") and i think they removed the windmill when they rebuilt the building :/

Next time come to Tiong Bahru. Lots of good food to explore. Tiong Bahru market with many cafes around it, you can visit Beo Crescent market for the famous Beo Crescent curry rice, and after that take a stroll along Singapore River via Alexandra Park Connector (Delta Avenue). At Tiong Bahru Market, you could do your food channel video cos there are really many nice food.

@davidtaiwaileong8692 4 года назад

Ghib, the "Huat Ah!" at the start had me punching the thumbs up 😂😂 The food in that hawker? The next time you're there, check out the fishball noodles, which is beside the grass jelly drink stall. Otherwise, go for the Western behind you at 3:14 or the handmade noodles beside the western food. There're other stalls besides this hawker of course. But many of the fare hear are pretty good 😊👍🏻

The windmill used to be at the spot where you had yakun. Then they changed the building and it became this Holland Piazza. If you liked Yakun be sure to check out the branch at China Street. They don't allow filming though but I think if you film yourself at the outdoor seats it should be fine. :)

The place where you had the Ya Kun coffee was where the wheel used to be. It was a decorative wheel. The other "Holland" aspect of Holland village are the low rise HDB flats that are along the intersection of Commonthwealth Avenue and Holland Avenue. These low rise HDB are bulit using Dutch bricks. These are red bricks that were first developed by the Dutch.

There was a small replica of a minature windmill just a few years ago but they took it down. long long time ago HV used to be an attap kampung village around Jln Kelabu asap that your video shown briefly most of the land was owned by 1 chinese family who is the Holland Village shopping building owner but the government i think took back most of the land owned by them but even then it had never lost it's charm I dunno about the dutch but the area used to be popular with RAF pilots and their families back when Singapore was a british colony after they shipped out for a long time different groups came and lived there the odd expat family or embassy staff for different embassies even foreign nurses lived there, sometimes some big businessman will install their girlfriends and mistresses there - I lived around the place off and on once in 1975 and another time around year 2000. The food used to be really good but gov interference or food vendors grown old nobody to take over so now all the new food taste like crap imo.

Actually, above the cold storage is a very old mall with some interesting stuff Caucasians like, like batik clothes and teak furniture, but you can also find some very old shops selling interesting things, like stamps or books.Nowadays you have many nail art places and massage places there. It's now become a place to relax and chill. Also, the place with the cafes and boutiques are near where the British government staff used to stay, and now belongs to the Singapore government. They're rented out these days.
