Hathaway is a modern Asian restaurant on the grounds of Dempsey Hill, drawing on European, Middle Eastern and Japanese influences. It doesn't serve pork or alcohol, a choice the kitchen makes to keep the room open to the local communities it draws from, including the Malay community.
The cooking sits across cuisines rather than in one lane: dishes run from Indian-style curry puffs to a Middle Eastern spicy lamb tartine. It's a set-menu format at dinner, priced at $108 per pax with a minimum of two.
Worth it for: a sit-down meal at Dempsey when you want modern Asian cooking that a mixed group can share without pork or alcohol on the table, rather than a casual drop-in.
