Dining at Dempsey Hill

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. :)
