19th May - Ps. Cafe

My 1st birthday celebration was held at PS. Cafe at Harding Road. Reservation had to be made 2 weeks before that and even then, we were told that it was a busy friday that nite and our table was booked at 830pm so we got to leave before that ...

Anyway, my bday dinner companions;- Sharon, Emerlyn and Ian made it there by 7pm sharp. Ian got taken for a ride by the Taxi driver and had to walk quite abit before arriving at PS. Cafe. 'Yes, he was grumpy when he met us.'

Well, we got a terrace table outside. As always, PS. Cafe is a really lovely place to hang out at as it tranforms one from a busy city scenary to one of a lovely English countryside. With the relaxing Jazz music playing in the background, it never fails to relax me. As usual, i am skeptical about their dinner menu, they usually don't live up to the expectation of the ambience and the aura of the place.

Sharon, Emerlyn and I ordered the Beef Ragu with Mushroom from the regular dinner menu, Ian had the Steak Sandwich with Fries (Probably the best of the lot), Linda did finally made it to PS. Cafe and ordered the chicken special from the daily menu (also better than the regular dinner menu).

Both Sharon and my take on the Beef Ragu is that it just too chunky and too rich to finish. You get there half-way and it starts to bother you. Maybe they should serve it in a flat and slightly curvy plate instead of the soup noodle bowl they served it in. The presentation's not so elegant with the salad on top(as one of my dinner companion highlight, 'Grass on the top of the Beef Ragu').

In short, these are my tips for all of you looking for a grand time at PS. Cafe:-

1) Stay with the daily menu instead of the regular menu.
2) Stay indoors in the evenings if you don't like mosquitos. Though, the terrace is alot lovely, wear jeans or spray 'Off' to keep them away
3) Dress stylishly as most of the customers do
4) Heels are stylish but be mindful of the wooden steps outside. My heels got caught three times.
5) PS. Cafe serve a brunch menu on weekends, starting at at 9ish. The 'Big Breakfast Sandwich' is the best from the regular menu.

Finally, PS. Cafe is a lovely place to be at if you will like to get away from the hustle and bustle of restaurants in the city and it's one of the best place in Singapore to people watch as well.

I dedicate this blog to my lovely dinner companions, Emerlyn, Ian, Linda and Sharon for a lovely start of my birthday week despite having a long and tiring work-day.

Loved you all!
