Restaurant Review - Hill Top Restaurant

Dinner at Hill  Top Restaurant

April 19, 2013 was a marvelous night, my girlfriend Tamika and I had dinner at the T.T.H.T.I, Hill Top Restaurant. The restaurant was featuring International cuisine and we were about to visit Dominican Republic, Haiti and Curacao. The décor was stunning and the ambiance was tranquil as the music played fits their theme perfectly. The table placement, made it easy to go to and from, as the host had no problem fining or names and we were seated in a timely manner. Attention to detail is evident in the talent of the service staff as well.

 Appetizer

KESHI YANA

A famous Curacao dish of Gouda cheese stuffed with vegetables that will sure be a delight to your taste buds.

A delight it was this surprising presentation set the tone for what was going to be a memorable dinner.

Soup

 JOUMOU

A Haitian delicacy consisting of oven roasted pumpkins and plantain filled dumplings. A delight with every mouthful.

 The smooth textured  soup and  the beef stuffed dumpling, provided just the right moments of ‘bite’ that were needed to prevent the overall experience from becoming too heavy.

Salad

ENSALADA VERDE

Enjoy the freshness of the islands with an array of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, eggs, red onions, olives, carrots and nuts with Honey Grapefruit Vinaigrette

 

It was light, refreshing and the simple and effective presentation made me admire the chef’s style.  

Entrees

 KABRIT STOBA

Succulent stewed goat meat tenderized with papaya served with a black mushroom sauce.

Accompaniments

CHAYOTE AND  SWEET POTATOES

 A delicate blend of seasoned christophene and sautéed sweet potatoes and

 FUNCHI

Grilled seasoned cornmeal cakes and Riz et Pois, a twist on the popular dish of Rice and Peas

 

 

This dish was an instant showstopper more on visually than taste-wise. The wonderful blend of flavors   was the perfect for the grand finale.

 Dessert

 RUM FLAN WITH ORANGE SAUCE

Entice your taste buds with this decadent rum flan in orange sauce from the island of Curacao infused with Djente Kacho (candied coconut)

 

 Well after a feast like the one above it seemed only fitting to leave our taste buds on a rich and decadent high.

 This was a dessert I would like to have again and even try to make it for myself  this was really delicious. 

My experience at Dominican Republic, Haiti and Curacao was an amazing one, the high attention to detail, from the décor, to the service and of course the different cuisine, mean that you are the center of the experience from when you arrive, to when you leave. These students really out did themselves, it was amazing and I will visit again.
