Laksa at Chopsuey Dempsey Hill

I had a craving for laksa and Chopsuey at Dempsey serves up a good one on weekends and public holidays. Now, this restaurant is perfectly fine, with rather earnest and good servers. Also, they genuinely welcome Choya. 

I don't need any special treatment for Choya. I just want her to be with us. Now that restaurants with outdoor tables have the choice to accept dogs, I leave it to them to be completely unfriendly to decline us. I appreciate fans at our table, an offer of water for her (although I always decline, because of sanitary reasons) and just letting her be, trusting me to keep her in check. I understand house rules, but don't give me that stupid tone when telling me 'dogs aren't allowed on chairs'. Frame it nicely. This is a thing that you can't train your staff — tone, and facial expressions. If they lose it, they lose it. 

Yeah, I said I wouldn't step into any PS Cafe after the last time they shouted at me and Choya to get off of the field at the Dempsey outlet on the Harding Road and they still tried to gaslight me by saying they didn't take dogs then. HALLO, I WAS PASSING BY ON THE PUBLIC PATHS, NOT ASKING TO EAT AT YOUR RESTAURANT, YOU ASSHOLES. I have an issue with the service standards and the attitude of the staff and its managers at PS Cafe Dempsey and PS Cafe East Coast. I'm fine with Jypsy, but their food... I can't appreciate Jypsy's menu. 

I love Chopsuey's menu and kitchen. They work for my tastebuds. The husband couldn't just do laksa alone. He needed variety. He added har gow, chicken and prawn siew mai, and a smoked braised duck and herb omelette. That omelette was really strange — I couldn't deal with the herbs that was all over, and I didn't like the caramelized orange and scallion jam atop. 

I wanted prosecco. The server suggested mimosas since that also held prosecco and there was a weekend 1-for-1 promotion. Alrighty. I had no objections to the sugar in orange juice. I was very pleased with my brunch. Totally satisfied my craving for atas poached crab and prawn laksa. LOVE.
