Manhill Restaurant is one of the old-school Chinese restaurants that serves delicious Cantonese fare with lots of "wok hei". Literally translated, "wok hei" means "wok's breath". Cooking food at high heat and temperature seals the flavour of the food whilst lending a very slight smoky effect on the food. The result, yummylicious Chinese food to go with rice.
Everytime, I come here, I will definitely forgo my diet plans. Give me 2 bowls of rice! This time, we have ordered the paper-wrapped chicken. As always, the chicken (as removing the paper of course) is so juicy and succulent, fragrant with hints of ginger, chinese rice wine and scallions.
I have always loved eating the vegetable, chinese mustard stems or in cantonese, they are known as "gai choy". The stems are simply cooked with garlic and the sauce thickened with cornflour.
Manhill is famous for their claypot dishes too. This time, we have ordered the pork liver cooked with spring onions in claypot. The tender liver slices were cooked in a delicious gravy, flavoured with spring onion, garlic, shallots and ginger. The gravy is makes a great accompaniment with white rice. Yums!
For car owners, this is a great place to park your car conveniently near the restaurant. This place is not easily accessible by public transport. This is also a very popular dining place for the Japanese community. Everytime we dine there, we will definitely encounter at least a table of Japanese.
Manhill is located at: 99, Pasir Panjang Rd, Singapore 118517. Tel: +65 6474 6835.
