Was out on last Friday at the newest, hippest place in town – Dempsey Hill @ Tanglin Village. It was my first time at Dempsey hill, which is the newly renovated area with all the new restaurants.
Previously, Dempsey is such a shithole – but in a good way. The area was dark, exclusive, with only 2 winebars and some furniture shops with scary looking statues. It was a perfect place for a rendezvous with a secret lover. (not that I have one lah, but you get the picture right?)
Then people started to check out the place and before you knew it, restaurants started to pop everywhere like mushrooms after a thunder storm. First, there was PS Café, then Oosh Bar, then Dempsey Hill…. And now, I need to find a new place to meet my secret lover. Damn.
Anyway, wanted to check out Margaritas but it was so crowded that we gave up and headed for a Japanese restaurant, just next to Angel’share. The food at that Japanese is rather mediocre and forgettable. However, there is this ONE dish that I liked – 6 pieces of broiled sushi and it was reasonably priced at $15 bucks or so. Other than that… didn’t really like the rest.
After that, we proceeded to Angel’share, which is something like a wine bar. Basically it’s like a smaller version of Oosh Bar but the prices of the wines are just as ridiculous. On average, the mark-up on each bottle of wine is about 300%. OUCH… Guess someone has to pay for the décor and atmosphere.
Nonetheless, I had a good time catching up with my friends. Friends… ahh, what can we do without friends. Other than family and spouse, friends are like the most important social relationship to a human being. In fact, for some people, friends are placed above family and spouse… … or football.
Just wana share some silly pictures of my beloved friends, with my beloved friends…
