Eat: Muthu’s Curry
When someone mentions “Indian food” and “Dempsey” in the same breath, you’ll automatically think they’re referring to the famous South Indian fish head curry restaurant, Samy’s. However, tucked inside Dempsey Hill is a lesser-known but no less outstanding North Indian restaurant. Muthu’s masala seafood dishes are absolutely divine – you’ll be licking your fingers to mop up all the saucy goodness. Of course, you can also pair them with their briyanis, which are delightfully fluffy with just a hint of butter. Yum!
Location: Blk 7 Dempsey Road #01-01, Tel: 6474 5128
Opening Hours: Daily, 11.30am-3pm, 6.30pm-10pm

Get tipsy on the freshly-minted winner of the Bacardi Cocktail Search – Kampong Sour. This refreshing cocktail, which aims to bring out the kampong spirit of yesteryear, is a blend of calamansi limes, sugar and of course, Bacardi Superior Rum. Delicious to the last drop!
