OOSH at Dempsey

David and I dined at OOSH at Dempsey in the evening. We sat beside the fountain in the garden. It was fabulous! With the candle on the table, the lavender to keep the bugs off and the natural music of water, nothing could be more relaxing. We ordered two signautre drinks which were OOSH Tini and OOSH Me at around 6:30pm and had a nice chat before we started our dinner. When the sky turned dark gradually, we had Satay, Crayfish and Fruit Salad, and Mushroom Soup (the Chef's Selection). Those were fusion appetizers that made us desire for food. Then we tasted the Australian Beef Tenderloin. Medium done. Great taste! Thick and juicy! From that moment, it was all dark and we saw each other because of the candle light! After that, Tiramisu with wine and Chamomile Tea Panna Cotta were our dessert. But that was not the end. We finished our dinner with two other drinks. They were OOSH Special and Pluck Me. I would say the drinks were nice cocktails but not surprising. However, the food were really wonderful! The worst thing was that it was too dark for us to see the presentation of the dishes! Well, of course, we smelt them! They were mouth-watering.
By the way, customers are not allowed to take photos at OOSH!
Anyway, to dine at OOSH is a must when you visit Singapore. You will like it.
