Barracks @ House (Closed)

Every Thursday and Friday afternoons, a special kind of magic unfolds at an old military barrack. Up a hill and down the steps. House Dempsey is the place. Vintage is the theme, tea party is the game. Everywhere you see girls in poker dots dress and guys in stylish hair. From families and friends to tai tai wannabes, everyone is part of the activity. It’s so vintage just like my girlfriend’s fashion taste. So fill your cup to the brim and let the magic of tea begins!The sandwiches were great but

Tucked in the far end corner of demsey hill, House is one of the perfect dinning choice to kept away from the bustle of the city.FoodSteamy Tau Sar Pao was served as the first dish out of so many dish we ordered.

Given a small jug of honey to adjust the sweetness right t

FoodI was introduced to this place during my pal's solemnization day. Food was already ordered before hand and the management of barracks cafe had did a good job in the ceremony set-ups in the Green House.Mushroom Risotto is served with wild exotic mushrooms with shavings of pecorino cheese.Cost: S$24.00Whet your appetite for more to come! Tangy Red pepper and tomato soup is a good starter! Cost: S$9.00"Hey, what's this BAO doing here?" I asked my friend. Initially I thought she took from home.

Soup is watery but flavourful with bits of mushroomBurger was a bit dry but the fries are wonderful chunky type, crisp on the outside, soft inside.Lamb was tender and the mint sauce is not overwhelming in fact it brings out the flavor.Wagyu beef is so tender and done just right. Its melt in the mouth type. The accompanying sweet potatoe fries are the same as those potato fries. Must try!The tuna salad was great as well. Although the tuna was a tad dry and abit too cooked. The english breakfast p

I'm a sucker for alcoholic ice creams, so I just had to try the made-in-house Chocolate Whisky and Pineapple Malibu ice cream at Barracks. Unfortunately, the ice cream was icy in texture and were mediocre flavor-wise. The chocolate whiskey ice cream tasted rather unrefined reminded me of cheap chocolate-flavored ice cream. Pineapple malibu (a mix of malibu rum, coconut and pineapple) fared slightly better and was somewhat refreshing.Thankfully, the red latte (rooibos tea latte) ($6++) was light

I ordered Their Summer StackIt was described as layers of mozzarella, proscuitto, pesto & tomatoes, so we expected some kind of carb-less lasagne. To our surprise , it was a full on sandwich, all that, & sandwiches between 2 slices of bread to boot. I must say though, that it was a really really good sandwich.but Pretty greasy from the pesto & olive oil, but incredibly tasty.Overall i rate 7/10

There are many reviews about how great the place looked and the ambience is lovely. And when I was there with my besties, I found them all to be true!! We were celebrating my hubs' BDay with a nice brunch and we had: 1) Cod Fish & Chips - high class fish and chips! The fries were nice and the kiddos ate them by the plates!! They didn't eat much of the fish so the mothers had to finish them. It's quite nice really. 2) American Slider with Blue Cheese Bacon - birthday boy loved it. I had a bite an

My girlfriend and I are on a dessert hunt again. This time we head to demsey for some delicious desserts. we went to barracks café and order the chocolate hazelnut gateaux. It was absolutely delicious. the chocolate was so rich, it was slightly bitter but it was not too sweet. the hazelnut taste was really strong, gives it an additional oomph! factor. My girlfriend and I agreed that this café serves the best gateaux around!

I came to barracks with my girlfriends on a Saturday afternoon for high tea. We thought they served high tea on weekends but unfortunately, they only serve it on Thursdays and Fridays. Nevertheless, they had a brunch menu (but served till 3.45pm) and desserts. We had a truffle mushroom pizza, strawberry shortcake, pumpkin salad. All tasted really well and their service was rather prompt. I recommend this place if you are looking for a chill and relaxing restaurant for brunch over the weekends.

My friend treated me to a nice tea at barracks café at demsey. I ordered the bitter chocolate tart and hot tea. The tart taste really good, not sweet at all. I love the tart, it is so crispy. The chocolate cream is so rich and chocolaty…

i went to try out barracks cafe with a couple of friends for tea. i ordered their warm strawberry shortcake. it was lovely, they even have a vanilla bean cream to pour on top of the cake. taking the first bite, you can taste the fresh strawberry. the cake is really rich in flavour. i highly recommend this dessert!
