Holy Mountain

Webstie:  http://www.hawkerfare.com/holy-mountain/ Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Feedback:. If you are looking for a bar which is not crowded on a weekend evening, then this is the place for you.  I was relatively surprise how big thr place is and how 'un-crowded' it was on a busy Saturday night.  Places like Beretta and Lolo's are packed but this one is pretty much empty. One reason that it is not that obvious for a bar.  It is actually on the 2nd floor of Hawker Fare.  No separate entrance and you have to go thru the restaurant to go to the Bar. They have a good selection of cocktails.  Lucky for me that I have a go-to place for cocktails when everywhere else is crowded. Demarara Gin Sling Their Version of Singapore Sling!

Black Coffee and Flat White Cappuccino Take Out Flat White

I really like this... Cornflakes French Toast! ! Buffalo wings - it was OK, nothing amazing Really disappointing.  Crepe was crispy, not enough chocolate, and the strawberry felt watery/gooey.

Food was generally good, nothing amazing but good! Also, it was so easy to get a table as there are not a lot of people and it was not so obvious that it was a restaurant. This is the only food that they have Bresaola and Mozzarela Octopus and Potato Salad Seafood Farrotto (Barley and Squid) - I actually liked it. Chicken with Olives Polenta with Ragu
