    Introduction:

    A restaurant located in a converted bungalow that sits on a slope. Not only a simple restaurant, but a garden and also a lounge.


    Ambiance:

    The Hill provides a laid back, comfortable airy atmosphere at the open air dining area and not lacking in charm, the dining room upstairs is set with warm lighting and elegance decor.

The scrumptious steak and freshly ground burger patty tempt the patrons.                                                                                                                       

                      

    Watermelon Slush @ RM 40.00

    Wasabi Pan Fried Chicken @ Rm 28.00

    Matsu Sashimi @ RM 88.00

    A Japanese dish consisting of very thin bite-size slices of fresh raw fish, traditionally served with soy sauce and wasabi.The word "sashimi" is commonly misinterpreted as slices of raw fish but the real meaning of the word is actually "pierced body". A word derive from the culinary practice of sticking the fish's tail and fin to the slices in identifying the fish being eaten.

    Senju Tei serves extremely fresh sashimi- tuna, salmon, white tuna, white fish, sweet shrimp, squid and conch. Love the elegant arrangement and the refreshing taste of the sashimi!
