Few neighbourhoods in Singapore do laid-back dining quite like Holland Village. From casual supper spots and buzzy bars to dessert spots and cosy cafés, the area is packed with loads of things to explore. And adding to the list is 东方美食 (Dong Fang Mei Shi), a popular Chinese eatery that has branched out with a new outlet in Holland Village.

If Chinese comfort food is your thing, but this name is new to you, procrastinate no further and pay them a visit. Long popular with Chinatown regulars, Dong Fang Mei Shi has built a loyal following for its mouth-watering flavours and authentic approach to Northeastern Chinese fare: think grilled skewers, fried fat intestine, xiao long bao, Beijing noodles with soy bean paste, and more. 

We highly recommend starting with its famous Pan-Fried Meat ($12.80) – a simple yet satisfying dish of battered meat fried to perfection and served with a tangy sauce. Spice lovers, go head on with the Sautéed Dried Chicken with Chilli & Pepper, Chongqing-style ($12.80). The restaurant is also famous for its classic skewers, so don’t skip them either – juicy grilled mushrooms and meats, all at just $1 per stick.

And if you’re a regular at the original Chinatown outlet, you’ll be glad to know nothing’s changing. The new outlet is expected to stick to what it does best, serving the same crowd-pleasing Chinese favourites that made the Chinatown branch a hit.

Dong Fang Mei Shi is located at 10 Lor Mambong, Singapore 277675, and is open daily from 11am to 2am.
