tanglin village, dempsey hill

wandered over to tanglin village after my morning walk at the botanic gardens. the place is now quite hip, being home to stylish f & b outlets like oosh, hacienda, ps cafe, cchang korean charcoal bbq restaurant, the wine company and wine network.

still around are the antique, furniture shops and carpet dealers. most of the furniture stores located here deal in teakwood furniture. unique antiques and quaint artefacts are offered by the antique dealers. the carpets sold here are the plush, high quality types.

heard that ps cafe is a popular haunt for celebrities. oosh is reputed to be the largest alfresco bar and restaurant in singapore. it houses several bars and restaurants, including a specialty japanese restaurant.

on dempsey hill, i came across familar names like ben & jerry, dome and margarita's, a mexican restaurant. there are at least two shops which will are due to open soon, one of which is a grocery shop.

someone raved about the ice cream at ben & jerry. must visit the place to try the ice-cream.
