In honour of Miss Shola's birthday, we made our way down to dempsey last night for dinner. Mal, prawn and I met Siva at orchard station then we cabbed it from wisma.. ok slight digression.. taxi fares in cbd area are a bitch! from Wisma to dempsey it was lyk 13bucks.. that's ridiculous la.. We were to have dinner at P.S cafe and none of us knew where exactly it was and how to direct the taxi uncle so basically we went around dempsey lyk thrice and finally we got down from the cab and decided to juz ask directions and find our way there. After alot of "go straight and turn left" and with the help of our human GPS system (Sivalam) we finally found the place. Now ive heard alot of reviews abt P.S cafe and not very nice ones at that (eg. crappy food.. not great quality for the price, service needs improvement etc) so i was expecting the worst.. so i was really pleasantly surprise when i stepped into the cafe. The place is sooo pretty.. i took one look around and decided that i was gonna be coming back here again. The first half of the restaurant is lyk some comfy coffee area with sofa-like seats.. and then there's the dining area and also an alfresco area.

The 4 of us were the first to arrive.. darling birthday girl was lyk "on her way" as she always is haha (but i guess this is the one and only time in the year that we let her get away with her *ahem* punctuality) and a few others were coming a little later for drinks. I was really super hungry and was very tempted to be a rude child and get my main b4 shola came but in the end we just got some fries ($9) and some side bread with dip ($5) to keep us going till the VIP arrived. Ok i have to say the fries are lyk the yummiesttttttt.. fat chips with yummy yummy dip.. they gave us bbq and aioli.. i LOVE aioli.. another aussie fav of mine.. i remember in perth Bhav and I were eating EVERYTHING with aioli and sweet chilli haha. I was in a realli good mood after having the chips.. carbs are my pick me up :) explains alot i know haha.. shola came soon after and we finally ordered our mains.. mal and i got the fish and chips to share ($24), Siva got the duck rendang with rice ($24) Shawn the yindian boy got some lamb kofta curry ($24) and shola got this veal thingy ($22). When we were finally served our mains we immediately whipped out our digi cams n little camera phones cuz the presentation of all the dishes was so prettyyy and i was getting ready to go trigger crazy.. UNTIL they tole us that they don't allow photography of the food. Heh.. i was actually devastated.. i know that devastated is quite a strong dramatic word but realli.. took me a while to get over it.. i mean pretty-looking dishes like that are meant to be captured on camera first b4 we devour them! But i think we managed to take lyk 2-3 pics b4 we were told about their policy so i'll try to post some pics up later. The food was actually not bad.. the fish and chips was battered and im more a fan of crumbed fish n chips but i still thot it was pretty alrite.. and it came with my new favourite chipsss :) The rest seemed to be enjoying their food too and the portions are quite hearty.. so if you're planning to go there and you're a small eater i suggest get dishes to share cuz u absolutely have to leave space for DESSERT. The cakes are displayed near the front of the cafe around the host stand and I was going crazy reading all the lables. Sho went out of the cafe for a bit so we took the opportunity to choose a cake for her from the yummy selection. We told the staff that it was our friend's birthday and asked if they could arrange for a slice of the brownie with a candle on top.. they said sure AND they even offered to sing. Sho came back in and within 5 mins later the whole crew came to our table with the cake singing "happy birthday". Sho was pretending to b all embarrased but i know she was loving every minute of it, rite sho :) Siva and I were eyeing the sticky date cake since like dunno when so we got a slice of that as well. This sticky date slice compared to the one from marmalade was more indulgent.. the one from marmalade was a nice light dessert whereas this one was one of those realli sinful desserts.. definately meant to be shared. I think the cakes are from $10-$14 bucks per slice.. but big slices and with ice cream.. very worth it.. very sinful.. very addictive.. very yum.

After dessert the girls and I took a short walk to check out the alfresco area.. I would have loved to dine alfresco but it was raining earlier in the day and the area was a little damp.. and i din know if the rest would share my passion for the great outdoors so decided to save it for my next visit.. and yes im definately going back. I've already got it all planned out in my head :) We took a nice long walk to the main road and after a challenging trek in my painful heals and our encounter with the most big-ass spider i've seen in spore we finally made it to the bus-stop. Aahh.. being in dempsey is lyk being in some ulu area.. i was actually very happy to see the bus stop.. felt like i was back in civilisation again.. but that's also y i love dempsey.. its quite accessible, lyk 10 mins from town but once ure in there it feels like another island altogether.. like a mini getaway. All in all it was a GREAT night.. fabulous company.. good food..great desserts.. friendly service and alot of camwhoring.. hope the birthday girl had as much fun as i did haha. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHOLAAAA.. WE LAU U LONG TIME! :)
