innocently we landed ourselves in dempsey.. on a thursday night...
we thought might as well explore a new place for dinner rather than forever being at the same old places...
i was told reservations were required for this place...but guess what! we were the first customer... we didnt know what a fondue dinner means and decided to try it out...the waitress was nice and she took time to explain to us the differences between the different type of cheese and the menu..to me and dear, it all seems the same...cheese is cheese...and choco is choco...
though there was nobody in the restaurant apart from us and hello kitty, we waited a while for our meal...and while waiting, hello kitty decided to get in the limelight...cos hello kitty was also bored...

and finally the food arrives...i never know salad could taste this nice! i am NEVER a veggie person but trust me every single leaf was left unspared!
next come the cheese fondue...we were advised to take mexican cheese cos apparently the most popular one was too cheesy for locals (as advised by the waitress)...mexican cheese was a bit spicy but in both our opinion,
it was just not cheesy enough....
it was just not cheesy enough....
the meat platter...with the special sauces..and the grilling begins...
we were given 3 options as to how we would want the meat to be done..1st - broth, 2nd - fried, and 3rd - grilled..we chose grilled and this is how it turns out...really different from my expectations...looking at the portion, it was not a surprise that we finished our main course even before our stomach says i m full!
did i mention that one blogger mentioned that he was full by the 2nd course - cheese fondue and advised all diners to skip lunch just to eat there??? *gosh...is it me or him**
and finally to wrap up the dinner...our desserts...
cookies & cream choco fondue!
this was the disappointing one...in the menu description, it reads dark and white choco with cookies...when the chocolate fondue came, the only traces of white chocolate was the white choco chip which melted away with the heat...
we didnt finished the choco fondue...cos none of us were a chocolate lover..and guess what we did with the leftover choco and a unused plate???
my personal verdict...the food was ok but the price was really not...the dinner cost us a whopping $170...which we did not think was value for money...the experience was ok since none of us have tried fondue dinner before...i seriously doubt the reviews given by those folks at hungrygowhere on this place...was there some conspiracy at work??
