PS Cafe




Cut to the chase.


Objectives: My Parents especially my mother had wanted to come to this place for the longest time, she has heard that it has fast becoming a celebrity seen and see place so since it's her birthday, wj and i brought her there.


Pricey. Yes.


Service. So-so. 2 out of 5. Most probably was becos it was a sunday's brunch. Loads of people and no reservations for weekend brunches, it comes on a first come first basis system. Although my family and i didnt wait long for our table.They did offer us outdoor seats first but seeing the scorching sun, my mother was willing to wait for an indoor cool area. I think we didn't regret waiting for that extra 10mins or so. The waiter and waitresses were very busy, i think. The waiter that waited on our table brought us 3 cups of ice water when there was 5 of us. Minus points here. We even have to remind him to bring us 2 more cups of water. Before our main were served, he was kind enough to bring us side plates for us to share. However, 2 out of the 5 dishes had chocolate stains on them!!!! and there were crumbs too!!! REAL BIG BOOBOO over here. Next, when our order was brought to us, there wasn't enough serviettes or cutlery for all of us. Minus points again. This time we told another waitress to get some cutlery for us.


Food: Mother and dad shared the MEAT LOAF AND SALAD (meat loaf with prune dressing on a bundle of salad greens). I have come to an understanding that it is a salad but the meatloaf was really little and it cost $22.


Wj and I shared the CHEF STEAK SANDWICH (wagyu ribeye steak, caramelised onions grilled to perfection if i might say so, danish bacon which i couldn't find any, romaine lettuce... a generous amount of probably 2 leaves, sliced tomatoes, served with baked beans and voluptous steak fries)
we love the big steak fries and onions!
Cost $28








Sis had the POACHED EGG PORTOBELLO STACK (stack of pached eggs, portobello mushroom, grilledbacon, wilted spinach on top of mashed potatoes with smoked cheese).
The chef comments here was that the portion was too small for her size. So chef is not impressed here.
Cost $22







Verdict: Nice ambience, makes me miss melbourne's big breakfast and it's other variations found along the tucked-in corner lanes of Flinders and appreciate melbourne's easy finds of cheap and good breakfast. I MISS MELBOURNE!!!! Food and pricing can NEVER beat melbourne's. But since it's not Melbourne ( i have to remind myself again and again), we just have to settle here at PS cafe. If you can live without ambience then i think PS cafe is good enough for just a one time visit and nothing more.
