Our take: Hillman 99 Restaurant carries a significant legacy, with roots tracing back to 1963 and even a royal visit from Queen Elizabeth II to its original Cantonment Road location.
This West Coast outpost aims to preserve that 'old school' Cantonese charm.
We see consistent praise for their Paper Wrapped Chicken, often highlighted for its ginger flavour, and the Salt Fish Fried Rice also receives positive mentions.
Other dishes like the pork ribs, Malay Kangkong, and fried big prawns with black sauce are noted as strong contenders.
However, a recurring theme in recent feedback points to issues with seasoning, particularly saltiness in dishes like the fried rice and claypot items.
Some reviewers also found the claypot dishes watery or the roast pork soggy.
While the ambiance is described as traditional and not overly crowded, suggesting a more relaxed dining experience, the food quality appears inconsistent.
The free corkage is a definite plus, though the limited and pricey alcohol selection (only Tiger beer at $7 a can) is a drawback.
Verdict: Best for those seeking a nostalgic Cantonese experience, particularly for the Paper Wrapped Chicken.
Be prepared for potential inconsistencies in seasoning, and consider bringing your own wine to take advantage of the free corkage.
