Hilltop Cuisine Kota Warisan

Enjoy al fresco dining on top of the hill with delicious ?western food and a beautiful ?sunset view of Dengkil town at Hilltop Cuisine Kota Warisan. On top of that (pun intended), there are tables inside the tent if you prefer shade. It is also safer to make a reservation if you want to be seated with a hilltop view. Besides western food, Hilltop Cuisine Kota Warisan also offers a “Shell Out” style option. 

This place is huge with many seats, so you don’t have to worry about it being too crowded or a long queue (but there might be a bit of waiting during the weekends). However, parking is kind of limited on the weekends, so you might want to come early to secure a place.

Pro-Tip: If you are coming to dine at night, you might want to bring along a bug repellent.

Thien Oh Kiong is one of the 7 Chinese temples in Dengkil. This temple is dedicated to Baosheng Dadi, a deity of medicine and Nezha, a protection deity whom many of you might know as the kid with the wind ?fire wheel. Originally, this temple was built with wood planks. After numerous efforts in the renovation, it was finally rebuilt in 1998 with materials & statues imported from China.
