Villa Creamery might be a name that Ang Mo Kio residents might be quite familiar with — these folks had been operating at the foot of Blk 123 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 for quite a while; with that being said, they had been in a phase of expansion and they have recently found new digs for their second outlet at Blk 42 Holland Drive; a location within the same neighbourhood as Holland Drive Market & Food Centre where one can find notable stalls such as New Lucky Claypot Rice and Butter Town. Villa Creamery’s space at Holland Drive is a bit on the smaller side; the space is indeed smaller than that of their Ang Mo Kio location where dine-in seating is pretty much restricted to two benches within the shop; there is also one dine-in table catered for a group of four (4) situated outside as well. While its focus would be on their gelato offerings, patrons are able to opt for their gelato to come in cups, cones or with Waffle Bites (more on that later). Beverages available at this outlet will include offerings segmented into categories such as Coolers, Coffee, Matcha and Seasonal.

There are a few renditions of Waffle Bites that Villa Creamery offers — these are essentially the same line-up of the different variants of waffles that are available at their Ang Mo Kio location. Whilst named Waffle Bites which seems to suggest that these might be cut-up pieces of waffles, it seems that Villa Creamery differentiates the waffles that they serve up at Ang Mo Kio as circular waffles, while the Waffle Bites at Holland Drive comes in the form of rectangular waffles instead. We found ourselves going for the Nian Gao Waffle Bites — we liked how the batter here wasn’t too dense; airy, light and wafts of a buttermilk fragrance whilst coming with chewy Nian Gao that comes with a slight hint of earthy sweetness within. We paired it up with the Strawberry Matcha Gelato which is inspired by that of the Matcha Strawberry Latte that has been pretty trendy of the late — coming with a pretty swirl of green and pink hues, there is that hint of a sweet, sour zing that is typical to that of macerated strawberries matched against that bitter undertones that one would expect out of the Japanese tea.
