Oosh

Oosh is a Japanese Restaurant located at Dempsey Road. It also serves up some fusion fare and western stuff. After some recommendations from friends, I decided to try it out.

It's been sectioned into different places The Bar - Alfresco Bar overlooking the Garden The Cellar - where you find fine wine and mingle Yen Dining - the conventional Jap Restie with the sushi counter The Roof - for chillin The Trellis - Enclosed little enclaves in the open area The Terrace - A Pavilion for finger food tastin The Lookout - A platform where you can see the entire place The Garden - Alfresco dining area The Deck - for functions

All the places are tastefully decorated and very cosy looking. Ambience is superb whether you're there on a date or for a gathering or even a casual dinner with clients.

The Garden Experience Out in the open, save for some bugs around, it was very nice dining under the stars and warm cosy lighting.

The Food : Garlic Shrimp, Stewed Oxtail, Sausage Pasta and Yuzu Sorbet.

The Garlic Shrimp was a tad bland for my taste. It wasn't even as well presented as it looked in the menu. Definitely not worth ordering.

My Sausage Pasta was average with little bits of garlic which didn't quite help in the taste. It wasn't bad either. But it could've been my cooking on a good day.

My companion commented that the Stewed Oxtail was just average as well. He's definitely had better ones.

The one thing that we loved was the Yuzu Sorbet. Well me more than him. A delightful dessert to end an average meal.

The Service: Pretty slow really. Was it too dark that they couldn't see us waving? The food only came after a couple of reminders and smiles were really few and far between.

The damage : about $70 for the two of us. A little ex for average food but if you consider the great ambience, I guess it's alright.

Conclusion: Not sure if I would go back. Maybe for chilling and drinks but not for food. :) The damage :
