Finally got round to trying this place and we were not disappointed. Food was excellent! Will definitely be back.

British Hainan is a one-of-a-kind restaurant serving up delicious “Hainanese western” cuisine with a dash of nostalgia. The owner Mr Frederick Puah is a real character, and the “red dining room” at the back of the restaurant filled with Chinese Mao Zedong-era to present day...collectibles is an oddity that is a wonder to behold. The food hits the spot - the traditional oxtail stew was very tasty (as advertised, no MSG!) and the surprising favourite was the delectable baby back ribs which I would recommend without reservation.More

Restaurant serves good and authentic hainanese pork chop, ox-tail soup and a good choice of spaghetti . Service staff are friendly and the ambient is cosy for family and friends gathering.

British Hainan - British food with a dash of Hainanese chef ingenuity. Restaurant serve excellent ox tail stew, lamb shank, pork chop, ribs and more. Not only do they have western menu, the restaurant also serve very tasty Hainanese cuisine such as mutton soup, beef...noodles, chap chay (mixed vegetables), Hainanese version of pork chop. The restaurant is located in a residential area and you probably need to be familiar with Joo Chiat to find the place. Recently they have also added a new restaurant at Kallang area. The owner is very friendly and would recommend you their speciality as well as a good portion for you so that you don’t over order. Would definitely recommend the place to anyone who love good food.More

Went with a group of friends and ordered a variety of main courses. The oxtail stew, pork cop and ngoh hiang were delicious. Even their cakes were of quality, unlike those i'd eaten at cafes. Would recommend and return again. Prices to my surprise are...reasonable.More

The name of the food joint says it all! This is in an industrial estate far from the maddening crowd & spacious. There are only a handful authentic Hainan dishes but more angmo food. We had the Hainanese Chap Chye which was no different from...any chap chye! The ngoh hiang & beef stew were so so except for the pork ribs which were v tender. Mushroom soup was pretty good though. So was the tiramisu cake. Outlet is pretty cluttered with lots of old things.More

Tried the oxtail Stew, it tastes great, sauce is good and meat is tender! Served with toast bread, which goes well with it. Service is casual and ambience is unique with retro theme.
