Dempsey Cookhouse 27 April 2024

 

Caramel Ice Cream with Popcorn (11/10)

Our once weekly dinner with the family last week landed us at the famous Dempsey Cookhouse at Block 17D Dempsey Road. We had the following dishes, some of which we pretty good and a couple were just, mediocre.

Starter 

Kale lettuce and broccoli salad

Crispy Calamari with Yuzu Sauce

Mains

Fried Crispy Chicken

Veal Milanese

Mushroom Encrusted Sea Trout

Dessert

Pannacotta (on the House)  (Excellent !) 

Warm Chocolate Cake

Caramel Ice Cream (3) with Popcorn (Star of the Show !)

While we were halfway dining, it poured very heavily. And as we sat outside, the roof started to drip and we made a request to change tables and this was speedily done.Kudos to the service team !

Kale and Broccoli Lettuce with Half Boiled Egg 

(8 /10)

The starter of kale lettuce and fried calamari were quite good and flavouful. The calamari was chewy and tasty while the kale lettuce and broccoli with the semi boiled egg was outstanding.

Crispy Calamari wit Yuzu Dipping Sauce 

(7 /10)

Panacotta was really outstanding with fig, strawberry, kiwi fruits garnishing adding to the flavour

9.5 / 10 

Mushroom Crusted Sea Trout with Lemon Emulsion Herbs

From the looks of it, it looks divine but I did not eat so I cant comment on the dish above. 

Veal Milanese with Tomato and Argula Salad Red Wine 

(4 / 10)

This dish tasted rather bland and there was no veal aroma. In fact it tasted like chicken.

Rather disappointing I must say. The $ 38 price tag while not cheap we may try the steak (at $65) the next time we dine there.

Crispy Fried Chicken with Herbs 

(9.5 / 10)

The Crispy Fried Chicken was outstanding amongst the main courses. The Sea Trout my wife ordered I didn't eat as I was three quarters full and the Veal Milanese tasted more like chicken. 

The skin was really crispy and the meat inside was tender and super flavourful. The price of $36 is not cheap for a white meat dish but it is worth it as a mains.
