Hathaway in Dempsey Hill offers a relaxing and comfortable setting to impress your date or to have a meal with your family and friends. Hathaway in old English means someone who lives by a path across a heath and the word describes the location and name of the restaurant.

It has a gorgeous white and brass interior which focuses on modern Asian cuisine with a local influence. The plating for their dishes are exquisite and visually appealing. For the appetizers, we started with the Langoustine Tartare and Seared Scallops Genmaicha Pea Puree.

The Ah Nya’s Fish Curry is a heirloom recipe that belongs to the grandmother of one of the owners. The Lamb & Bone Marrow is another main that impresses. It consists of Harissa Rack of Lamb , Glazed Bone Marrow with Herbed Crumb and Apple Celeriac Slaw with Zaatar Labneh drenched in Sup Tulang Sauce. The Nasi Ulam will complement both items well.

The Sher Wagyu Tenderloin is similar to a deconstructed “Beef Noodles” that is made up of Chargrilled Sher Wagyu Tenderloin 200g paired with Beansprouts & Pickled Mustard, Kway Teow Chip served in Bone Broth with Tendon & Tripe which you can enhance its flavor with Cincalok Chilli.

The creative concoctions of their mocktails GRAPEFRUIT (Grapefruit Juice & Tonic, Espresso, Seedlip Spice 94) and BASIL & WATERMELON (Basil & Watermelon Shrub, Apple Cider Vinegar, Seedlip Garden 108) stand out for me.

Lastly, the desserts here are a must have. The Queen’s Conserve is a combination of Kouign Amann, Lavendar Ice Cream and Passionfruit Curd and it is the highlight of the sweet treats. We would also recommend the Peranakan-inspired Seri Muka to complete your meal.
