HIPPOPOTAMUS RESTAURANT GRILL
6 Raffles Boulevard #01-204/205 Marina Square
6338 5352 | hippopotamus.com.sg
THE OCCASION:
A quick bite before the cinema or a fuss-free
shopping break with the kids. This conveniently located
and fun eatery is a no-frills dining experience that is ideal
if you just want good quality food, quickly and affordably.
THE ONE TO ORDER:
The highly flavoured wagyu flank (200
grams, $32.90) from Australia is a delicious cut from the
abdominal muscles of the cow. It tends to be bright red in
colour as it comes from a well-exercised part of the animal,
and is best sliced against the grain for tenderness. Being a
huge meat-lover, I ordered this steak rare and it was melt-
in-the-mouth, accompanied perfectly by the pepper sauce.
THE OTHERS:
The Hippo 5th Avenue burger ($17.90)
combines a thick juicy beef patty with onions, salad and
crispy strips of bacon. If you still have room for dessert,
the French toast Nutella ($7.50) is something special, a
perfect sweet treat for the kids!
THE OUTLAY:
For the quality of the steaks, this is a well-priced
restaurant. Expect to pay anywhere from $30 to $40 for
your steak, which includes two sides and a sauce.
