Hungry? The 1,2kg prime ribs though $107++ is worth it as it feeds 4pax. Dont miss out on the rump steak and blue cheese hippo burger, get the double steak version as its just $5 top up! Worth it! 

Try the French onion soup for starters. As for desserts, go for the creme brulee. For full review and pictures, check out http://sparklette.net/food/hippopotamus-restaurant-grill/ Read more

For adventurous taste buds, try French classics like escargots and beef tartare. The specialty here is beef so definitely try the prime rib or tenderloin, or a thick, juicy burger.

For under $20, the blue cheese burger is delicious and comes with real blue cheese. Value for money.

Choice of 2 side dishes is not a choice anymore. You can't choose what you want. It all depends what are the 'sides of the day'.

Set meal steak is pretty decent. Sheperd pie and steak is ok. Service is slow. Gave a complimentary a nice lavae cake with ice cream for birthday! What a surprise!

The rib eye platter are simply the best! Can take believe they are closing this branch :(

The sambal sauce is very good. Hardly spicy and quite sweet. Like Nasi Lemak chili

For juicy and tender steak lovers. Get a seat inside otherwise sweltering weather outside

Good service. Good selection of steaks. Especially like the stewed shallots dip.

Not sure why the previous tips listed were so negative - I've been here both during lunch and dinner and the service had been good. Food was reasonably priced for the quality and portions.

the blue cheese sauce was awesome. And they even gave me a free lava choc cake for my bday :D

Executive lunch set is a steal at $15.90! Includes main course, 2 sides and dessert of the day.

Good service. The escargot and carpaccio with goat cheese was really nice, and the steak was juicy (but the sides were very limited!)

Palate Dining Program not valid "because today is Teachers' Day". Wtf lamest excuse ever. I suppose if it were any other day they will substitute it with Monday, Tuesday, weekday.

The burger is quite BLAH. Want better burgers, go next door to Carl's Jr.

Nice place though service can be a little faster. Potato gratin and churros were good.

The lamb chop is nice, try it. Service wise is normal, but the manager is well trained.

Common sense is lacking here. Starters and main courses were served together on our tiny table. Servers seemed to push us to finish our meal rather than offering us good service. bad service!

Service could be a little faster, but the food is good.
Audrey GohOctober 26, 2011
Awesome steak but the creme brulee is lousy.
