Welcome to Dempsey.

Not sure what people are expecting but for almost 30 I expect an artisanal burger.

And this definitely wasn't that. Sure the patty is much bigger and thicker than a Mac but honestly, it's some factory made nonsense, not hand formed. The texture is also way too fine, like a single emulsified product as compared to actl ground beef. There is a little bit of funk and it's juicy tho

Again, depends on your expectations. If you're someone who's very happy with Mac's this is going to blow your mind.

Petit four was very normal

Verdict: place for people to throw money around. I'm very perplexed by the high ratings. Was it that the ratings came in when Massimo was still around and food was delicious in the first week? Or is it people are so enamoured by the "genius" of the "art" that they neglect their tastebuds?

No one will know I guess. Mediocre and thus unacceptable for the crazy prices

The website sucks. No mention that the tasting menu is to be shared for the whole table, new menu isn't updated, and no mention of the dress code.

Food:
This was good. The coffee ice cream is abit cold but the mascarpone foam and the crunchy chocolate top worked well.

One of the few highlights food wise. Everything apart from this was meh. Yes the place is artsy but that should never take away from the food. A restaurant boils down to food and if people are going to be paying 3 digits the food better be good before the rest of these artsy fartsy nonsense is in play

It's only been 3 weeks since Massimo left but this place is really not doing well. The reviews do no justice to this place. Kitchen was slow AF on a sat lunch, with only half the tables filled. Everyone was waiting, even tho the kitchen is at full staff. There's a lot of problems, like how they have someone carrying a tray but requiring another service staff to offload and explain the dishes. What a waste of manpower. Too often the food is just left there or continue to be carried by someone while we are waiting for a service staff to serve. What is going on lol dysfunctional af

Food review:
I understand the effort that goes into making this. Pasta has good bite, filling was salty in a punchy way, Parm sauce is avg.

But for comfort food, it's really priced at an unacceptable level. The taste is nothing mindblowing

Part of tasting menu, ala carte is double the portion (2 slices)

This really pisses me off. They seem to have no idea what kind of restaurant they are. They got pizza that's 32++ or sth that's more than reasonably priced, yet they had 2 slices of 50g ribs being double that, like some Uber fine dining nonsense. Please figure out the identity of your restaurant. How is it possible one slice of ribs costs the same as one whole pizza in the same restaurant

The ribs are good. The cherry glaze or wtv doesn't rlly come thru, but the ribs were tender, fatty and flavourful. Probably wagyu beef, but probably not top class. But crazy ex, for 60 bucks you can probably get 6 pieces of atas wagyu at a yakiniku restaurant. The accompanying sauces are good, providing vegetal mild complexity, however it's really more form than substance overall.

The appetisers were a winner . Top prize goes to the hummus which is keto friendly since u have it have garden harvested leaves 🍃.

Not bad serve nice and warm

Chopsuey is a good place to bring your overseas friends to because they have done a v good job in fusion across Asian cuisines. Favourite was the 9pc dim sum basket $26++ and another job well done for the mix of spices in food and sauces. Can give the prawn toasties a miss ($19++ for 4 and +4.50 for extra piece). The fish tofu lasagna $32++ was interesting. And of course don’t forget to order their signature sticky date pudding for dessert since it’s under PS cafe. Good dining experience and ambience. I'm not sure if they regularly change their menu but it was v different from when I first came 2 years back. Nonetheless highly recommend 👍

The squid and prawns is grilled. Can taste the BBQ smell when chewing it

Nothing special about this dish

Beef is nice

Peruvian cuisine 🇵🇪

This restaurant serves authentic dishes from Peru (according to them).

What we had:
+ Ceviche\Zesty raw fish for Appetizer
+ Cochinillo con Arroz\Suckling pork with Rice (Christmas menu) for Main
+ Parihuela\Seafood soup with crab meat for Side

Seafood was very fresh and the service was great too. For the price tag, the portion could be bigger tho. 🥹
