The Abandoned Barracks of Dempsey Hill

We went for brunch with some new friends up on Dempsey Hill today. Afterwards they took us on a walk we'd never done before. It turns out that beyond the squeaky clean rows of white-washed restaurants on the well-developed side of Dempsey Hill is an old road lined with the old forgotten barracks that haven't been touched for a very long time. It's not often we see things that haven't been restored or rebuilt in Singapore. Some of these buildings would make great little art galleries or cafes. I wonder if humans will reclaim them before nature does?

Dempsey Hill the Axis of Douchebags or foodie hotspot?

We live really quite close to Dempsey Hill which, if you haven't been there is a tangle of high end restaurants at the top of a hill surrounded by pretty trees. It's not that far from the central business district but it feels like an oasis after downtown.

Thus far we've sampled the fare at The Red Dot, CMPB and PS Cafe. Food in all three has been pretty good, menus are designed by a chef, food not always overseen by a chef... but nothing too catastrophic has happened either. It's all very pricey so be prepared to open that wallet wide.
