PS. Cafe (Raffles City)
with Christmas just around the corner, we hope that everyone is in a feasting mode of some sort. Especially with this year's festivities spreading over an extended long weekend, it is the perfect moment to wine, dine and be merry. one thought is that you could visit the latest outlet of this fast-growing Singaporean cafe chain that just opened its doors at Raffles City. along with its wide spread menu with almost something for everyone, PS. Cafe is definitely gaining lots of ground in the last couple of years.
with its 7th outlet and counting, the latest PS. Cafe at Raffles City is an iconic spectacle. Taking a double-volume space on the once quiet common area on its third floor, the greenhouse themed designer structure is an ideal place for dates, gatherings and just to people-watch. along with the brand's ethos to make their cafes a "refuge for social gatherings", every one of their outlets come with a wide choice of mains, sandwiches, pastas, sides and drinks to give all visitors something to choose from. 
sometimes, having a big menu has its drawbacks, because it makes people undecided. so anyway, we will introduce the no-brainer signature that everyone tends to order here first - the PS. truffle shoestring fries. in fact, they are so good at it that people now associate truffle fries with PS. Cafe. the few times we tried this set dish, the fries always came warm, well-cut and with loads of truffle and cheese. 
the other dishes are a series of hits and misses, and after some time, regulars would go for their own favourites. more popular pasta choices include this Chicken Rossa Penne and the spicy king prawn Aglio Olio. the penne is served in a garlic-tomato cream sauce, topped with grilled chicken, smoked bacon, spinach, mushrooms and sprinkles of Parmesan cheese. alongside the Aglio Olio, the pastas here come in generous servings, have an aromatic dash of spices and ample ingredients. it is also interesting to note that the menu indicates which dishes are suitable for vegetarians, or can be modified to cater for vegetarians. 
the main dishes are a little more tricky, as we haven't really heard mention of a standout dish. in actual fact, the conventional types such as beer-battered fish & chips or BBQ ribs are probably the better ones. we tried this more inventive interpretation of a chicken Parmigiano that is supposed to be chicken breast, toasted garlic ciabatta bread, topped with greens and a chunky tomato sauce. however, the food seems to be overly hard and somewhat difficult to chew down. someone else ordered buttermilk fried chicken, which turned out somewhat like KFC served with barbecue sauce. so like we said, hits and misses. in all, the PS. Cafe brand is expanding rapidly and have maintained their high standards of design and ambience. the wide menu spread serves up some bizarre dishes of acquired taste, but their signatures always ensures that they remain a local favourite.
