Down My Memory Lane: Olio Dome Holland Village

Olio Dome Holland Village

I had been craving for Olio Dome's Brownie and hot Passionfruit Tea for quite sometime already. I finally get a chance to satisfy my cravings today! :D

I met my bf at Bedok after work and we went all the way down to the Olio Dome in Holland Village for dinner. Actually I am not very particularly fond of Holland Village because I think it is very out of place and it is not exactly a very convenient place to go home from. However, I don't mind going there if someone is willing to send me home after that. Or else most of the time I usually opt for taxis to bring me home from there. It is just too much of a hassle to get home from Holland Village. :P

Anyway, we had our dinner and of course dessert there. We ordered the usual boring Golden Fish and Chips and Teriyaki Pizza for dinner. The Teriyaki pizza was too big for me to finish on my own so I had to rely on my bf's help to finish it. Their Fish and Chips was nicely fried but a bit too dry. Same thing goes for the Calamari that we ordered too. I think their food have the tendency to be too dry after they fried it even though the taste was still quite alright.

I have been craving for their brownie for the longest time so of course it was in my order for dessert. And yes, of course, my hot Passionfruit Tea... We ordered the Olio Style Brownie and I must admit, I was kind of disappointed... Yes, it is nice to have it on a hot plate sizzling with hot fudge (I used to have to specially request the waiter to give me hot fudge for the brownie) and novelty of the vanilla ice-cream sandwiched in between the brownie, but it is no longer the good old Brownie that I used to have many years ago. The taste of the brownie is no longer as good as what it used to be. :( Luckily the hot Passionfruit Tea taste just as good as what I remembered it to be...
