To be IN and be SEEN

Everytime I explore a new place with D, I would hope to bring Water the next time she returns.

We were at Dempsey Hill last weekend, the latest place to be in and be seen in Singapore. It consists of restaurants, cafes, pubs, gourmet stores and a spa. To bring it all closer to Water, we took some pictures to entice her taste buds and as well as to make her come back "home" soon.




D loved the fabulous Jones the Grocer which have a wide selection of gourmet goodies and variety of cook's favorite tools. It ranges from chocolates, ice-creams, baking stuff, herb plants and not forgetting the one and only cheese room in Singapore! I think it is a great place for a girls' hang out in the afternoon enjoying the updates with a cuppa and biscottis.




We dropped by at Ben & Jerry's which co-joint with a mini cafe, CA. Great place for kids as well as ice-cream lovers. I love the aesthetics.... nice, warm and homely.




Our last stop was Barracks at the House . This was only after an unpleasant time at La Forketta, an italian restaurant (insisting an order of SGD28 per pax when all we wanted was to share a pizza) that made us find our way to Barracks. It was nevertheless a pleasant surprise. We came into a quiet place not knowing we were already in the restaurant. The interior was somewhat comfortable and easily made one feel at ease.

The staff were wearing army barracks uniform which reminds me of some summer bootcamp. Where we sat overlooked lots of greenery. I also spotted a nice enclosed glasshouse which seems great for a christmas dinner party with my girlfriends! But the food did not impressed me though D loved his fish and chips. Will give it another try next time!


Look at the menu and the featured artist of the month, Arlene Rienebe!

Nice view... ...

Besides all that were mentioned, some outlets worth mentioning are Culina Gourmet Shop cum Cafe and Margaritas, a Mexican restaurant. I can't wait to try out the spa at the House with the wonderful nature surrounding them.

Now that accessibility is made easier to Dempsey Road, I see myself heading there more often!
