last December, we’ve taken our visiting in-laws to the Pidgin Bar and Restaurant at Dempsey Hill for lunch. the place has a lot of rave reviews all over the internet. so we decided to give it a try.
first impression: the ambience was very relaxing amid the surrounding greenery. and i just love the colonial architecture that gives an old-world charm to the place.
they also have very interesting dishes on the menu. as mentioned in the reviews, the place offers a refreshing fusion of local and western dishes.
some finger food for appetizers
we were not disappointed with the appetizers either. they all tasted as good as they looked.
something mighty meaty for hubby
salmon confit for me
frog legs!
the mains were all superb too.
free dessert for everyone to share… i was already full but i still managed to sample this one too. very delish!
luscious chocolate ice cream
i don’t really remember what this is. some berry-flavored gelatin, i guess.
crème brulée
even the desserts were heavenly.
the service was excellent and the price was reasonable and fitting for the well above average dishes, and excellent service that the restaurant offers. the staff were very friendly and we never had to wait too long for the dishes to arrive. we’re definitely going back for more.
