Birthday Celebration 3

We were looking out for new places to dine at dempsey hill since so many eateries have sprung up sin the past few months. finally, decided on oosh, and managed to get reservations. the place looks very good every time we drove past and it's a good chance to check out the food and the place. read more about the place and food on my food blog. but as a general comment, ambience is good but food is quite disappointing, esp the mains.

Lawrence, regina, lengleng and joey got me a wonderful birthday gift as well as a nice cheese cake from swissbake.

Swissbake never fail to deliver good looking and good tasting cakes. this one was just nice for 5 of us, and how thoughtful of them to put just 1 candle, when you are a kid, you cannot wait to have more candles on your cake, the more the merrier, but at this age now, you always hope the the number of candles remains the same year after year..

After the disappointing food, we decided to skip dessert and proceed somewhere else for tea and cakes. ps cafe was fully packed, as we walked around dempsey hill, we say this place called house. it's a spa on the 2nd storey and a restaurant, cafe with a bar on the ground floor called barracks. decided to give it a try.
The place is cool, they have private rooms which you can reserve, no extra charge, as long as you can spend more than $300 in a bill. But most of the non-uniformed staffs seemed quite stucked up, maybe you gotta dress well in order to get them to pay more attention to you. the uniformed staffs were all fine.
We ordered a pot of tea each, they have interesting ta mixture. i ordered something with spearmint, and you know how the tea taste like? imagine this, you take a wrigley's spearmint gum and chew it for an hour.. that's when all the sweetness has gone off.. the tea taste exactly like that... and after adding sugar? hhmm.. the chewing gum is back to the fresh unchewed one.. haha. The lavander tea was quite funny too, very nice smell but not taste. Read about the food and dining experience here.
This guy here is one of the staff there, he's called desmond, he wears the uniform like the non bosses there, but he's one of the boss we think. a really friendly person, really good at cracking jokes, he was the one so reccommended us the items to get and telling us more about this place. so if you guys are thinking of going there, remember to look for desmond, cos we tried going a second time, he wasn't around, this lady looked at us, talked to us as if we were didn't fit the culture there and shouldn't be sitting in her cafe...seems like we do not have the class to step into her place. i wonder if anyone else got the same treatment.
