Due to the change in time for Marieann's lesson from 3pm to 1pm, we decided to go for brunch at Dempsey Hill despite the fact I was just there recently lol. I don't mind, I welcome the greenery. Feels like I am not in Singapore. :)
I chose to have brunch at PS Cafe, Dempsey Hill amidst protests from the girls who wanted to have dim sum. :P But the girls were soon won over with the greenery, the ambiance of the place and the food. :) It was packed when we arrived at 11am so we were No. 1 on the wait list. We chose to sit indoors (in case of mozzies :P) and were shown to our table under 10 minutes.
The girls shared a plate of Blueberry Pancakes. The blueberry pancakes were nice and had whole blueberries in them! For dessert, the girls each had a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
The girls' father had PS Breakfast Club Sandwich which had eggs, bacon, tomato, asparagus and baked beans on the side.
I had the Portobello Stack which came with 2 poached eggs stacked with roasted portobello mushrooms, grilled bacon, wilted spinach and creamy smoked cheddar potato gratin. This is what I call a real hearty breakfast or brunch. :)
For dessert, I had steamed Ginger Pudding with Earl Grey Creme Anglaise and topped with vanilla ice cream. I really love this pudding which is not very sweet. With lots of ginger shreds (real ginger mind you, not artificial flavouring!), it is one of the more exotic puddings I have ever tasted with its pairing of the earl grey custard sauce and vanilla ice cream. It is a wonderful pudding/ dessert that warms one up on any cool day. :)
I think we will definitely be back for more - the food and the greenery.
My group of SC friends and I met for lunch at Au Petit Salut, Dempsey Hill. It is the first time I managed to join them for lunch as I couldn't make it for the past 2 lunches. It is also the first time I have been to Au Petit Salut even though it is so near my home. :P
We had a table outdoors, next to the water feature. It was rather serene. It started to pour as my friends made their way to the restaurant. We decided to have the 3-course set lunch ($30++) and we ordered different dishes so that we could share. Four of us had the Baked Burgundy Snails with tomato and garlic butter (half dozen) while one of us decided on Pork rillette for entrees. No photos as we attacked the food when they arrived. Too hungry lol. Both entrees were delicious and went very well with bread. :)
For mains, two friends had Crispy Filo filled with ragout of braised duck, resting on a bed of mushroom puree and salad. The duck-filled filo with the mushroom puree was exquisite in taste. 
Another friend and I had Pork neck braised in Madeira served with polenta. The pork neck was huge in portion, full of flavour, moist and very tender. It went well with the polenta which was tasty on its own. Our dish was most filling. Both of us couldn't finish our dish despite sharing with the other 3 girls lol.
The last friend had Pan seared beef with french fries (I think). The others who tasted it said it was good.
For desserts, we shared Passion fruit Blanc-Manger, Profiteroles (choux buns filled with vanilla ice cream in warm chocolate sauce) and Creme bulee. Sweet heaven! Lol. :)
Over lunch, we chatted, laughed and caught up with what's happening in each other's lives. We also started planning for a girls only trip in 2011 haha. :) Better start blocking out potential dates in our 2011 calendar. :)
