We celebrated Father's Day at Long Beach Seafood @ Dempsey Hill. This is the latest Long Beach outlet that is near est to Orchard Road. Opened less than a year ago, it is already seeing brisk business. This place is undoubtedly more upmarket compared to other Long Beach outlets and seafood restaurants in Singapore, due to its unique setting, perched on elevated ground at Dempsey Hill, overlooking the greenery and Holland Road, and housed in a fully renovated army barrack. But this also means a meal here would not be light on your pocket. Dishes are priced at a premium, and despite this, it is virtually impossible to get a table unless reservation is made at least one day in advance. Beside local seafood lovers, bus loads of tourists are also often seen here. The great advantage here is that there is a ample parking space.
This Long Beach outlet serves the same old Singapore signature dishes. Today, we chose the Father's Day menu for 4 persons, consisting of chilly crab, steamed bamboo clam, grilled fresh scallop with cheese & butter, and glutinous rice. We topped it up with an ala carte order of braised Ee Fu noodle with Japanese mushrooms. The bill totalled S$300. Food quality here was just average, but the unique setting of the restaurant more than made up for that. An overall pleasant dining experience with my father, Yan and Oon Hoh.
