Hill Park Cafe @ Bandar Baru Air Itam
Do you realise that the places/shops that you usually pass by is the place that you don’t remember the name? That’s because we are so used to the area that we can instantly project the image in our head, thus leaving out the details such as the name of the shop.
My family usually frequent this ‘chu char’ stall at this coffeeshop for its Char Hor Fun/Yee Fu Mee. But the usual practice was that we will take-away and have the nice Char Hor Fun at home. This cafe is just beside the Chong De Vegetarian Restaurant and also a walking distance from Bandar Baru Air Itam Supermarket.
How I finally got to know the name of the shop - Hill Park Cafe, is while we were seated and waiting for the dishes to be served.
Pai Kut Ong - Pork Ribs
A little wet but it was fragrant and the meat is very tender. But it’s actually pork slices instead of the real ribs.
Hot Plate Japanese To Fu
Very interesting way of presenting this dish. Egg is spreaded on a steak-like hot plate (can you see the bull shape?) and serves as a base for the deep fried japanese tofu with mushroom, chopped pork meat and spring onions.
Chinese cabbage
A plate of greens to balance thing up from all the meaty dishes. It is stir-fried with salted fish and garlic, a very simple way but aromatic and delicious.
Honey Chicken
It took quite some time for this dish to be served but it was the best dish among all. Reasonable-sized chicken meat is deep fried and then glazed with honey. The meat remains soft and tender although it was deep fried. Sweet flavour of honey is prevalent with every bite!!
Overall, this place serves reasonable and tasty ‘chu char’ dishes at a very affordable price. The bills adds up to just about RM 30++.

Yup, that was my first time seeing such presentation too. I never expect a simple coffeeshop to have such a unique presentation!
