Kitchener Rd : Hillman Restaurant

Hillman Restaurant is like a 5-stars Cze char restaurant that serves homely cooked food in air-con environment with valvet service. Hillman restaurant is particularly very well-received and liked by Japanese expatriates and tourists and is packed with them whenever I visited. High on the wall, there is this very big photo showing that Queen Elizabeth's visit to Hillman Restaurant for dinner in 1965. Amazing, right?

Anywhere their dishes are homely in taste and delicious. Here are some recommendations :-


Cabbage wrapped egg omelette and sharks fins

You could use the cabbage to wrap the omelette with sharks fins and use your hands to put it into your mouth to eat it. It's quite delicious but if you do need to keep your eyes wide OPEN to find the shark fins lor.


Paper Wrapped Chicken

This is their signature dish. Please note the paper is NOT edible. But the chicken is really tasty and it's quite fun to unwrap the chicken.


Eight Star Pot

This is a claypot dish containing fried fish, mushrooms, sotong and all sorts of nice things braised in a savoury brown sauce, another of their signature dish. The taste is not too strong and not too blend. And it seems this is the HAPPY fish dish that appears on the front cover of the menu.

A good place for family gatherings. But I do feel a little discrepancy in treatment given to the locals and the Japanese guests. Yup!! Moi is that sensitive. =P
