Over the years, I’ve developed a firm affection for the culinary delights at Hillion Mall, where I’ve devoured everything from Auntie Anne’s pretzels that are more addictive than chocolate to Krispy Kreme doughnuts that practically have me dancing with delight. I still chuckle at the time I thought I’d impress everyone by trying the spicy chicken from Ayam Penyet President, only to end up sweating like I had run a marathon! The fish and chips from Long John Silver’s and the delightful Llao Llao froyo have certainly taken my taste buds on a journey, and I would not alter a single bite!
My Love for Auntie Anne’s
Before I discovered Auntie Anne’s at Hillion Mall, my life was akin to a pretzel without salt—lacking in flavour and excitement! The moment I took my first bite of one of those warm, golden-brown, soft pretzels, I felt as if I’d experienced a culinary epiphany. The smell wafting through the air is intoxicating, and let me tell you, the only thing better than the aroma is the taste itself. Who needs a fancy restaurant when you’ve got Auntie Anne’s? With a variety of flavours, from original salted to the sweet cinnamon sugar, it’s nearly impossible to resist. I’ve even tried pretending to be health-conscious by opting for the whole grain option, but let’s be honest—that was more for show than anything else!
Pretzel Perfection
Above all, the pretzels at Auntie Anne’s are the epitome of snack perfection. Each one is lovingly twisted and baked to create that magical combination of crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. They’ve got this knack for making pretzels that make you feel like you’re indulging in a treat that should be illegal. I often find myself standing in line, doing the ‘pretzel dance’—you know, that little shimmy to the rhythm of the tantalising scents wafting from the stall. Every time I finally get my hands on an order, there’s a slight, triumphant fist pump that occurs—I can’t help it! It’s the little victories, isn’t it?
The Ultimate Snack Attack
Annes, let’s talk about the glorious snack attack that hits me whenever I walk past Auntie Anne’s. It’s as if my brain sends out a siren call that overrides all rational thought, demanding that I dive headfirst into a pretzel feast. I often tell myself I’ll just grab one for the road, but before I know it, I’m ordering three pretzels and a side of their famous cheese dip, which—let’s be honest—should probably come with a health warning. The guilt doesn’t set in until I’m back at my table, taking my first bite, and suddenly, it’s a world of cheesy goodness and fluffy pastry bliss. I do wonder if I need an intervention, but honestly, who would want to stop this delicious adventure?

An attack of the tummy grumbles often ensues after a visit. That delightful cheese dip is fluffing my expectations to the sky, and as I munch through the warm pretzel, I feel as if I’m indulging in a snack crafted by culinary angels. What is it that makes food taste better when you’re slightly naughty about it? Maybe it’s the blissful contradiction of self-control versus the sheer joy of yielding to your cravings. Either way, Auntie Anne’s will always hold a special spot in my heart—and stomach—for providing me with the ultimate comfort food in Hillion Mall.
Fast Food Frenzy
Even if I fancied myself a gourmet chef in some alternate universe, nothing beats the allurement of comfort food quickly served on a tray. Hillion Mall is a true haven for fast food lovers like me, where the aroma of fried delights wafts through the air and tempts me at every corner. Whether it’s the promise of crispy fries or those cheeky chicken nuggets, I can assure you that my heart races a bit faster each time I step inside. And let’s be honest, when hunger strikes, you’re not always reaching for your cooking apron; instead, you’re galloping like a hungry gazelle towards the nearest food outlet. The dilemma of whether to indulge in Auntie Anne’s pretzels or Ayam Penyet President’s fragrant Indonesian fare is the hardest decision I often make—first world problems, right?
Golden Arches to the Rescue
The crisp sound of the Golden Arches is like music to my ears; I dare say it’s the anthem of my late-night cravings! There’s something magical about ordering those golden nuggets, paired with a side of crispy fries and a bubbly soda. I can’t help but feel like I’ve discovered a hidden treasure with each bite. One time, after a long day, I resolved to treat myself to a cheeky Big Mac. As I sat munching my meal, I couldn’t help but think, “This is why they’ve built these arches; they’re my beacon in times of hunger!” It was as if the burger had the power to transport me to a realm where calorie counts were moot, and life’s problems simply melted away with each chew.
Unforgettable Burgers
Among my many fast food adventures in Hillion Mall, the unforgettable burgers stand out like bright beacons of joy. Every time I bite into a thick, juicy patty, I am reminded of why I regard these creations as works of art. The experience feels a bit like a plot twist in a typical romance film—you expect something good, and what comes is an explosion of flavour that leaves you giddy with delight! Beyond the meat, there are toppings galore that transform the humble burger into a composition of culinary genius, including creamy sauces and crisp veggies that elevate it to the next level.
In addition, the sheer variety of burgers means there’s something for every palate. From classic cheeseburgers that remind me of childhood memories to funky creations with unexpected toppings that challenge my taste buds, each visit becomes an extraordinary culinary experience. I often find myself torn between trying something new or reaching for my ultimate favourite, but one thing’s for sure: no matter what I choose, I always leave Hillion Mall with a satisfied belly and a smile on my face. Who needs a Michelin star when you have the burger brilliance found right here?
Sweet Indulgences at Krispy Kreme
For a sweet-toothed enthusiast like myself, stepping into Krispy Kreme at Hillion Mall always feels like entering a sugary wonderland. I can’t help but feel like a child in a candy store, gleefully eyeing the rows of deliciously decorated doughnuts. Whether it’s the classic glazed or one drizzled with chocolate and loaded with sprinkles, each visit turns into an exploration of my taste buds. Just the other day, I found myself engaging in a bit of friendly banter with the staff as I attempted to choose my doughnut for the day. Warning: I left with a box of five doughnuts. Could I have resisted their allure? After all, sharing is caring, right? Well, mostly I was caring for myself!
The Donut Dilemma
The one challenge that plagues my visits to Krispy Kreme is what I like to call the ‘Donut Dilemma.’ With so many tempting options beckoning from behind the glass, I often feel like a kid facing a buffet of sweet delights. Do I go classic with the original glazed or shake things up with the seasonal special? Each doughnut seems to whisper sweet words, escalating my indecisiveness. I often find myself standing there for extended periods, reflecting on my life decisions, as the line behind me continues to lengthen minute by minute. The pressure is real! Ultimately, I usually succumb to a guilty pleasure and grab one of each. Well, you can’t live forever, can you?
Glazed and Confused
Along with the Donut Dilemma comes the state of being ‘glazed and confused.’ For every trip to Krispy Kreme, I inevitably find myself standing there, doughnut in one hand and a hefty amount of regret in the other. After all, how can I rationalize consuming an extensive assortment of doughnuts for myself? It’s an internal conflict that usually ends up with me making silly faces at the mirror, trying to convince myself that tomorrow is a better day for self-control. You’d think after all this time, I’d have learned some restraint. But every visit to Krispy Kreme is a delightful dance with temptation, and I simply can’t resist the siren call of sugary goodness!
Indeed, the struggles of deciding which delicious creation to devour are comical at best. I mean, who knew choosing a doughnut could feel like selecting a life partner? “Do I want sweet, fruity, or that enchanting chocolate one that looks positively decadent?” It’s a tough life, but someone has to enjoy those heavenly treats! In the end, I stroll out with a smile on my face and a box of sugary delights in hand, proving once again that when it comes to doughnuts, who could possibly say no?
Kebabwala Adventures
After an exhilarating day of shopping at Hillion Mall, I inevitably find myself drawn to the enticing aromas wafting from Kebabwala. The bustling atmosphere filled with cheerful chatter perfectly complements the mouthwatering scent of freshly cooked kebabs. Picture this: I’m standing in line, my stomach grumbling like a toddler having a tantrum while I eye the tantalising options on the menu. The staff, all decked out in their colourful uniforms, greet me with smiles that could rival the sun. It’s a joyous affair, and I’m convinced the kebabs are not just food; they’re magic wrapped in a flatbread! The thrill of savoring my favorite lamb kebab and carefully assessing my side of garlic sauce truly delights my palate.
The Great Kebab Escape
Behind the scenes of this kebab haven, I can only imagine the delightful chaos that unfolds as the chefs work their culinary magic. As I take my first bite, it dawns on me that I’ve unwittingly entered a kebab lover’s paradise, and there’s no escaping this deliciously intoxicating realm. Just when I think I’m in control, the meat unveils its spiced goodness, and it becomes a battle of wills between my taste buds and my self-imposed restraint. Purely out of necessity, I make a swift choice—three kebabs to go! Little did I know that that would lead to my own hilarious escapade back home.
Spice Levels: A Comedy Show
Around the time I decide to test the limits of my spice tolerance, I realise ordering my kebabs “extra spicy” might not have been the wisest choice. As I bravely take my first bite, a sensation of fireworks ignites in my mouth. With sweat beading on my forehead, I can almost hear my taste buds giggling at my naivety. The heat kicks in, and suddenly, the burger joints I’ve frequented over the years seem like a distant memory. My friends had warned me about the Kebabwala spice levels, but I was a foolhardy warrior seeking glory on this gastronomic battlefield. You’d think I was auditioning for a stand-up comedy show, trying to suppress both laughter and tears as the flames of spice danced across my tongue.
Escape from the flaming inferno of spice comes not from a glass of water but rather an outrageous dash towards the nearest juice stall. In hindsight, I can laugh at my fiery escapade as I down the sweet juice to douse the spice flames, pondering the sheer foolishness of my bravery. But, much like a true kebab connoisseur, I vow not to let this fiery debacle deter me from returning to Kebabwala for more adventures—spicing up my life, one kebab at a time!
Kicking it at Long John Silver’s
Unlike my usual adventures in the quest for culinary brilliance, I often find myself inexplicably gravitating towards Long John Silver’s at Hillion Mall. Perhaps it’s the siren song of golden-battered fish and chips that beckons me, or maybe it’s the inexplicable charm of dining amidst a maritime-themed counter that makes me feel like a sea captain in a past life. Whatever the case, there’s something about this eatery that simply warms the cockles of my heart, even if it leaves my waistline in a bit of a predicament!
You see, every time I step into Long John Silver’s, it feels like I’m commencing on a treasure hunt where the prize is always tantalisingly crispy fish fillets and a mountain of crunchy fries. I can almost feel the salty sea breeze in my hair—perhaps it’s just my imagination, or perhaps the fryer is going a bit too far! Whatever it is, I find solace in the fact that this place has me hooked each and every time.
Fishy Tales from the Deep
John, you’d be amazed by the tales I could share about my adventures at Long John Silver’s. It all began one fateful Friday evening when I, lured by the aroma of perfectly fried fish, decided to treat myself after a particularly long week. As I bit into my first fillet, I found myself in a blissful trance, fully embracing my inner pirate as I devoured the crispy delights while eyeing the sea-themed decorations around me. My friends, who witnessed this transformation, couldn’t help but marvel at how a simple meal transformed me into Captain Crunch! Yes, it was like a sitcom episode starring yours truly—complete with outrageous glee and a side of tartar sauce that could only be described as heavenly.
It’s hard to resist sharing these fishy tales, not just for the joy of reliving those moments but also to entice you into becoming a fan of Long John Silver’s. Every snack has its own unique story, such as the time I mistaken the coleslaw for an exotic new dip, or the time I overindulged in fries and declared myself the ‘Fries Emperor’ of Hillion Mall! Long John Silver’s may not be Tony’s seafood restaurant, but it’s my local treasure trove of delight.
The Search for the Perfect Tartar Sauce
Deep down, I feel that the real treasure at Long John Silver’s lies in their tartar sauce. It’s a quest I take on every time I find myself about to devour those crispy delights. I’ve sampled all manner of seafood sauces in my day, yet there’s something about the smooth creaminess of their tartar sauce that draws me in like a moth to a flame. One dip, and I’m lost in flavour town; two dips, and I’m a full-blown sauce aficionado! Who knew that my taste buds would turn into such discerning critics for a humble seafood condiment?
Sauce aficionados will agree that not all tartar sauces are created equal, but Long John Silver’s version is like that perfect plot twist in a novel that takes you completely by surprise! It’s tangy yet creamy, and it pairs splendidly with both fish and fries. Every little dollop feels like an invitation to examine a culinary adventure that’s sure to leave a grin plastered across my face and perhaps a few stray sauce smudges on my shirt—but hey, that’s just a badge of honour, isn’t it?
Seafood Shenanigans at Big Fish Small Fish
Once again, I found myself traversing the gastronomic wonderland that is Hillion Mall, and let me tell you, it was a true fishy adventure! I had heard whispers of this delightful establishment called Big Fish Small Fish, where the seafood is as fresh as the banter. The vibrant atmosphere embraced me as I walked in, the tantalising aroma of grilled fish filling the air. I remember looking at the menu, my eyes widening at the variety of seafood options—everything from quirky fish tacos to extravagant seafood platters that could impress Poseidon himself! I felt like a kid in a candy shop, except the candy was all marine-themed, and I was much more likely to get a case of the bubbles from consuming too much calamari.
Indulging in the signature grilled fish, I was greeted by flavours so delightful that they could make even the grumpiest pirate do a happy jig. But the real star of the show was the side of spicy sambal that accompanied my meal—it was literally explosive, as it made my taste buds dance like they were at a disco! With each bite, I felt like I was being serenaded by an orchestra of flavours, and each delicious morsel was accompanied by a cheeky smile as I contemplated my life choices over a plate of perfectly cooked seafood. Honestly, Big Fish Small Fish should consider putting out a warning sign: ‘Caution: Your taste buds are about to begin on the adventure of a lifetime!’
Caution: Explosive Flavours Ahead
Fish and chips may be the classic British combo, but here, the explosion of flavours sent me straight into gastronomic delight! My first bite into the grilled seabass had me questioning if I had ever tasted anything this good before. The heat from the sambal was irresistible, though I must admit, I slightly underestimated its kick. The moment I sighed in bliss, a plume of sambal flew from my fork—it almost became a seafood confetti moment! You can’t say you’ve fully enjoyed a meal until you’ve had a spice-induced sneeze that leaves everyone around you chuckling. As the saying goes, if the food doesn’t make you snort, are you truly enjoying your meal?
Awkward Moments and Shellfish
Before I dive deeper into my dining escapades, let’s chat about the often-overlooked awkwardness of eating shellfish in public. You’ve just placed an order for a generous portion of prawns, crabs, or any other enticing crustacean, and now it’s time to indulge in some messy eating. I could feel the eyes of my fellow diners as I attempted to crack open a particularly stubborn crab leg; it was like I was on a stage, and I could almost hear the applause every time I managed to extract a morsel. This was an intense performance art display, punctuated by the occasional ‘oops, there goes a piece of shell across the table’ moment!
Indeed, my encounter with shellfish at Big Fish Small Fish was nothing short of an awkwardly entertaining spectacle. I might have flailed around a bit, sending bits of crab flying, but that’s all part of the fun, isn’t it? In the end, it felt like a large seafood family get-together full of joy and camaraderie as everyone laughed, including me. I firmly believe that consuming seafood can serve as an excellent conversation starter, especially when accompanied by a plate of splattered seafood and a healthy dose of laughter. And that, dear readers, is why I love Hillion Mall food with all my heart. Who’s ready for another shrimp-tastic adventure? 🦐
Final Words
So, I’ve come to the wonderful realisation that I may very well be Hillion Mall’s biggest fan. Who could resist the irresistible aroma of Auntie Anne’s pretzels, wafting through the air like a delightful beacon of carbohydrate goodness? There’s something inherently magical about standing in front of the #B2- Ayam Penyet President, contemplating whether to have ayam penyet or just order an entire feast to feed my inner glutton—spoiler alert: I usually end up doing the latter. Each visit is a gastronomic adventure, ready to tickle my taste buds and perhaps induce a slight food coma, but honestly, can anyone have too much satay and sambal?
But let’s not even get started on Krispy Kreme at #B1-45A. One moment, I’m innocently walking past, and the next, I’m seduced into a glazed donut frenzy. The sweet aroma entices you in, and before you realize it, you’ve consumed a box of doughnuts by yourself, pondering if they qualify as dinner. The concept of “doughnut gains” is very real! Ultimately, my passion for Hillion Mall food is undeniable, and if I’ve learned anything, it’s that no culinary challenge is too significant (or fried!) for a true food enthusiast. Therefore, if you happen to observe me emerge from Hillion Mall one day, be assured that I have thoroughly enjoyed myself. 🍩🍔
