Here we are at Rail Mall on the 9-mile junction of Upper Bukit Timah Road. Here the old Singapore-Johor Bahru railway crosses the Bukit Timah axis for the second time, and there has always been rows of shophouses fronting a housing estate on the west side of Bukit Timah Hill. For years, a Domino's Pizza outlet which we regularly brought our son to has been replaced by an actual Italian Restaurant, Acqua e Farina (translating to Water and Flour) in more recent years.
This is an authentic Italian restaurant, owned by Italians, and that's how it should be. Acqua e Farina has a special lunch promotion of pastas, pizzas and desserts, which is what we came for. And we were not disappointed taste-wise but the portions are on the smaller side. Which is why we had to have a pizza as well.

| Salmon Genovese pasta (with basil) |
 |
| Aglio olio pasta with mushrooms and bacon strips. |
 |
| A delicious prosciutto pizza that finally filled the stomach. |
The non-promo and dinner menu goes into the realm and prize-range of fine dining, and we can only guess what it is like on another occasion.
