 The ambience is contemporary and relaxing, added with a friendly services from their staff, suitable for gatherings and even a favourite meeting place for meals.

Complimentary starters like bread and packaged butter were served while we waited for the mains to be ready.

 We started with the French Onion Soup served in the typical white lionhead bowl loaded with yellow onions and smothered with melted cheese and soaked bread. Simply love the taste of the soup though it is not the best I had ever tried.

 I decided to be adventurous for the night and ordered something different to experience the fine gourmet, Hippo Blue Cheese Burger. The burger were topped with crumbled blue cheese with glazed onions underneath. It was also complemented with Roquefort sauce. Two chosen sides added to the main were baked potatoes with bacon bits and sauteed mushrooms.

 Under the classic cuts, we have chosen the Rump Steak from New Zealand, an extremely flavourful cut which has a leaner yet firmer texture. We were very pleased with the medium well doness paired with brown mushroom sauce, added with sides like potato gratin and steamed vegetables.

 A perfect pleasing dessert for sweet tooth. Creme Brule is their signature creation with a thin layer of caramelised brown sugar and underneaths lies a smooth creamy texture with a good consistency of butter rich flavour and hints of vanilla.

 Overall experience was above average with attentive service and constant refills of our plain water. However a little wait is required for the dishes to be served up to the table.

 Tenderloin ($28.90++)
The tenderloin was succulent and flavourful. However, the portion seemed to have shrunk in size and quality slightly dipped. The vegetable stew that we ordered was alright though I would have preferred it to be chunkier.

 The first appetizer, poached egg with red wine, was rather peculiar-looking and would entice the adventurous foodies. Upon the first impact, the poached egg melted into a yolk pool together with the red wine sauce. The strange thing is, I could hardly taste the tartness or fragrance of the red wine even though I could visibly see it. For me, the poached egg was too raw - perhaps another thirty seconds in the boiling water would be great. On top of that, there was no distinct red wine taste as promised. The bacon strips were a little incompatible with the dish too. Perhaps a sprinkle of black pepper would make it better.

 The second appetizer was the tomato tartare with guacamole. My first impression was a positive one because the tiger prawns are so photogenic! The ensemble was a very juicy and refreshing one, with diced tomatoes, coriander, onions and lime. There was a dash of olive oil and to pair it with the guacamole avocado paste was quite lovely. It was a cool combination of flavours... in a good way.

 The third appetizer, the french onion soup did not appeal to me that much in appearance and taste. It was rather nondescript with a soggy bread bowl.

 My choice of the mains at Hippopotamus is the Hippo Cheese Burger, which was accompanied with fries and a side: potato gratin, as well as sauce: BBQ sauce. Other sides that you may select other than potato gratin includes the sauteed mushrooms, baked potato, steamed vegetables and fries. You can also choose other sauces such as bearnaise, shallots, pepper, mushroom and even sambal. The gratin retained potato as its star ingredient and had a thin coat of cheese and butter to flavour it. I liked it this way. The fries were crunchy and lightly salted. The cheeseburger itself was relatively a disappointment - while the ciabatta buns were a premium choice for bread in burgers, the beef was quite tough to bite and did not live up to my expectations. It was too messy to eat as a whole unless your mouth is big enough and there was hardly any cheese to hold the burger together.

 The beef skewer (200g) is a medley of the different cuts: sirloin, rump and hanger steak. Requested to be medium rare but it feels more well-done to the bite.

 The desserts performed better: the french toast nutella would have been pleasantly sinful if you are hungry enough. It was topped with a scoop of ice-cream which does not taste as premium as Haagen-Daaz standards but I love sweet treats so that didn't bother me too much.

 Their strawberry cheesecake was satisfyingly yummy. With a delightful swirl of sweetness from the strawberry fruity toppings, the slight tinge of tartness from a suspected yogurt dose, it was less predictable than I thought it would be. The biscuit base of the cheesecake could have been given more attention rather than a customary appearance though.

I would say that I am not a fan of beef, and Hippopotamus did little to change that impression. While their desserts are passable, most of the dishes require more attention in terms of presentation as well. While it seems like I'm quite critical of their food, there is a need to take into consideration the mettle of their strong competitors in the Dining Edition just upstairs as well.

For the menu:

At only $15.90++, this was a real steal! The steak was meticulously prepared and grilled to perfection. The chewy and succulent texture of the medium-rare steak was a joy to savour. The potato gratin was a mouth-watering side not to be missed. The rich cheesy texture atop the soft and smooth potato slices made all the calorie intake worthwhile.

 To end it on a sweet note, the set also came with a decent portion of carrot cake which was really yummy. Considering the price, I'm really impressed by the quality of food and effort they put in to whip up such a heartwarming meal.

 And did I mention, complementary chips and bread were served as well.

Mr Hippo will definitely give Steakhouses such as Jack's Place, Astons and the likes a run for their money!

 French Onion Soup - $8.90

I heard from a friend that french onion soup is good and it was a pity that I didn't try it when I was in Paris. So I was quite "determined" to try it someday and it was a pleasant surprise to find the dish in the menu here.

I need to stress that I dun fancy onions at all, and yet I find this dish delightful. The "floating" pastry will absorb all the goodness of the soup like a sponge. What's more, there was melted cheese on top which was definitely a plus point. The soup was light and sweet, a good way to warm your stomach before the main dish. Must try for both onion and non onion eater!

 Grilled Chicken with Ratatouille

The chicken was surprisingly tender, even though it was breast meat. Side dishes wise, ratatouille was something uncommon, basically made up of different vegetables and tasted a tad sour.

why the name hippopotamus i wondered? well, maybe it was in reference to the size of their main courses! when my family went there, we only ordered ONE main course for all of us to share. and that gave us the opportunity to try all the other interesting items on the menu as well (:

okay this is pretty odd but i'll start with the main course first! haha. look at those gorgeous slabs of meat! this was the heart of sirloin ($79.90), a hearty 750g of meat!
it is meant to be shared among 2-3 diners, but honestly, that would be just wayyyy to much! we had it cut into five portions instead, which was just nice for us. a fabulously smooth piece of meat, we chose medium so it was slightly pinkish inside without being too raw. i think i got the section with all the fats though! so it was a great exercise for my jaw, doing all the chewing. hahaha.

it came with 6 types of sauces on the side, barbeque, bearnaise (some sort of buttery creamy sauce, sinful but yummy!), stewed shallots (like caramelised onions, sooo tasty!), peppercorn, roquefort cheese (i was really curious about this cos it looked delicious, but guess what? it's BLUE CHEESE) and sea salt (awesome for dipping!).

and 6 side dishes! seriously, this alone was enough to fill 5 tummies. haha. the sides were fries, potato gratin (i really liked this cheesy, potato-y dish!), green beans, baked potato, ratatouille and basmati rice (lightly fragrant, a surprisingly tasty dish on its own).

and now let me rewind all the way to the front again. every meal kicks of with a yummy bowl of chips. or rather, bowlS of chips. i dunno whether there was extra charge for chips, but they just kept refilling our bowl until the appetizers came. and you know how i can't resist these crunchy savoury goodies when they're in front of me, so i kinda stuffed myself quite a bit with these before realising i should actually save my stomach for the proper food. they were really salty though! perhaps it would have felt better if they cut down on the salt. otherwise, the mixture of flavours in the seasoning was yummy. (:

we were also served a basket of bread rolls. they looked pretty interesting! it's not so clear in the picture, but they looked kinda greyish in real life. i was a bit suspicious of it haha. but they tasted wonderfully soft when they were nice and toasted. when they got cold, they weren't nice at all though.

i have to say that i had a really hard time ordering food when i was at this restaurant because there were just so many yummy things on the menu, and many were recommended by a food blog i had visited. for appetizers, i knew the the french onion soup ($8.90) was a must-try, and it really lived up to expectations! warm slurpy food for the soul, with the aroma of onions wafting out of it, a beautiful layer of melted cheese on top, and bread in the bowl. two thumbs up! xD

the shrimps potato twists ($12.90 for 6pcs) didn't seem very spectacular though. they looked interesting enough, pretty cute don't you think? but basically they're just prawns wrapped in strings of crispy potato. i suppose the effort put into making this dish (if it's handmade?) is the thing that counts.

the squid sticks ($8.90) sounded really interesting! and they totally reminded me of cheese sticks (if only they had the oozy cheesy taste to it). squid covered in a fine layer of crispy crumbly breadcrumbs, nice and chewy and served with sweet chili. goodie!

okay yes i realised this post is getting awfully long. now on to desserts!
this was again a very difficult choice to make! too many yummy looking things xD the two desserts i tried were WONDERFUL. really. truly.
the warm chocolate cake ($10.90) looked tiny. it was, considering how yummy it was, we couldnt have enough of it! we just attacked it and in 2 minutes it was gone. haha! warm, slightly crusty on the outside. poke your fork into the soft spongy interior of the cake. dig in slightly deeper, and out oozes the warm chocolate lava. omgosh!!! this is totally chocolate heaven xD the warm chocolate paired with cold vanilla ice cream was the perfect combination for an immensely satisfying dessert!

my other dessert was the chocolate hazelnut cake ($8.90) which i loved for the mixture of two of my favourite flavours and the LOVELY CRACKLY BASE of the cake!
the top of the cake was sprinkled with a hazelnuts, followed by a few alternating layers of spongy cake and delightful hazelnut cream (? paste? sauce? i dunno what do you call that! haha), atop a firm cookie-like base. omgosh. heavenly!!


last thing before i'm done! i have to recommend their sangria hippo ($9.90)! i think it's a really interesting drink with all the fruits and everything inside it! looks so pretty doesn't it? i think the fruits really made a lot of difference in adding a unique flavour to this drink (:

yupps, a wonderful meal at this restaurant!
and i have to say that the service staff are really attentive and friendly as well, so A++!

 Had been meaning to try out Hippopotamus for the longest time, after reading about and seeing an outlet in Paris a couple of years back. And so we dropped by for an early dinner on a Saturday evening. Apparently the eatery's selling point is its wide range of beef cuts at affordable prices. Honestly, I am not too hung up on the variety of cuts because I am not picky but I do like the sound of affordable.

Because the restaurant is located along a rather quiet stretch on the ground floor of Marina Square Shopping Mall, it offers an "al fresco" dining area alongside the pedestrian walkway as well as seating in the inner chambers which offer more privacy. Exposed brick walls with red, square lights complete the cafe like setup.

Complimentary Chips - This was served alongside a basket of dry, hard and mildly sourish bread (skip it!). No surprise the chips were the first to go - crisp and a great way to start off.

US Pork Chops - A very flavourful and well grilled piece of pork that threatened to put alot of "western" restaurants to shame.A pity the meat was a little too dry and tough for my liking. Also, some of the accompanying fries came a little too charred as well.

 Tenderloin "Chateaubriand" - The crème de la crème of the cuts and the tenderest of them all, the Chateaubriand tenderloin (Chateaubriand is actually a recipe involving a particular thick cut of beef) was a little overcooked to medium well, contrary to my request for medium rare. Nonetheless, it was still tender with nuances of bovine flavour seeping through with every bite. I would have liked the flavours to be more pronounced though. Served alongside 2 sides of your choice.

Chocolate Hazelnut Cake - Coming across as a little dense and dry and tasting overwhelmingly of chocolate with a nuance of hazelnut, the cake had tiny crumbs of hazelnut etched atop and sat in a shallow pool of vanilla cream. Brownies, anyone?

With a 50% discount courtesy of my palate card, dinner was relatively inexpensive at about $34 for 2 pax. I know it's not a fair comparison but at this price point (50% off) and quality, it beats the likes of Astons or any other budget steak house hands down in my humble opinion. However, take the discount away and the value ratio decreases quite a bit. Service was decent but could be a little more attentive (my glass of water was never refilled). All in all, a place I would only return with the 50% off.

    Ordered the rack of lamb was impressive of the looks and taste. cooked to the right tenderness. It's juicy and goes well with the sides (French Fries, Potato Gratin, Green Beans, Baked Potato, Ratatouille and Steamed Vegtables) and sauces given. the potato gratin is very nice, creamy and addictive no wonder it's a chef recommendation. Steamed vegetables is cooked nicely and not hard.

    Overall nice to try out this restaurant.

    the ice cream if you find it too chocolate for you !

    I will give Chocolate Cake 5/5 !
    MUST TRY !

    Overall , i can say that i love everything that i have eaten today ! The environment
    was awesome, the price of the food was reasonable and affordable !

    You guys should go try especially those Beef lover !

    The steak here is not tasty at all!
    2013-04-29 38 views
    The only thing I can recommend here is the home-made potato chips which they provide as an appetizer. They are lightly salted and are well fried. Unfortunately, I can’t say otherwise for their steaks. The ribeye that I had was simply not flavourful and the accompanying béarnaise sauce was unpalatable. This was the same for my friend’s sirloin as well. As for their desserts, the sticky date pudding was far too sweet.

     Your trip to Hippopotamus won’t really be complete if you don’t try the steaks! One specialty is the Skirt Steak ($18.90), which is a cut from the plate of the mule. Though it’s not known for its tenderness, it’s still a popular choice for the meat just bursts with flavour. For true steak lovers, another dish to try is the Tartare Grilled ($20.90), which is a 180g of minced meat barely seared on each side.

     This is the Beef Carpaccio with Goat Cheese. Okay I admit I was being geh kiang (act smart) here when I ordered Goat Cheese but have never tried any before. It STINKS! I like to eat mutton and all, but the cheese was infused with this wild goat smell that I couldn't stand it. Kept drinking loads of water to try and rid the smell. The beef carpaccio was okay, so next time will order one without the cheese.

     This is their beef sirloin with potato gratin and green beans for sides. My sauce is the bearnaise sauce. The beef is cooked slightly overdone. I think in SG not many places can get the done-ness of steak right. But the gratin is quite good - very cheesy and the green beans had an al dante bite to them.

    Steak Craving

    Hippo is one of the places when I have craving for steak. Reason being, it is one of the places that has affordable and nice steak. Hippopotamus have many wide selection of steaks from Sirloin to Tenderloin and even Rib-eye Steak. They even have rump and hanger selection. Decided to try something different and ordered the Top Sirloin over a stewed shallot sauce with sides such as long beans and potato gratin. The long beans was overcooked though and the vegetable just felt soggy to taste. Potato

Decided to try something different and ordered the Top Sirloin over a stewed shallot sauce with sides such as long beans and potato gratin. The long beans was overcooked though and the vegetable just felt soggy to taste. Potato gratin was nice as usual, one of my favourite side that I will always order. The sirloin was cooked with how I like it, medium-well yet juicy and tender. Will recommend this place for its steak cause of the selection and pricing.

    I ordered the Sirloin steak - medium rare. The main course comes with 2 side dish and one sauce. I chose Ratatouille and Potato Gratin as my side and the Bernaise sauce for dipping. The steak was cooked well - nice and juicy. It's really nice to dip into the buttery tasting sauce. It's quite rich so go easy on it. The Ratatouille felt a little mushy but I quite enjoyed the flavour. The potato gratin, not so much. It was bland and tasteless. Tip: Ask for some rock sea salt. Sprinkle some on the s

    Tip: Ask for some rock sea salt. Sprinkle some on the steak and eat it without sauce.
