The restaurant was designed with the traditional lanterns hanging on it ceilings.

The menu is quite limited.

 My hubby ordered the Premium Set Meal (S$17.90) and I got a Deluxe Set Meal (S$15.90). Both set comprised of 1 main, 1 side dish and a drink.

Overall, the food is nice, the ambience was cosy and the service was excellent.

PS Cafe @ Palais Renaissance

Heard so much good review about PS Cafe so I decided to visit it together with my hubby at the Palais Renaissance outlet.

I've made a dinner reservation at 9.30pm on a Friday night. As the place is quite crowded, I would recommend a reservation (as I always will do to any restaurants I am heading). We arrived early and were shown to our table only a few minutes of waiting.

The restaurant is located at a quiet corner on 2nd floor of Palais shopping centre. As you step into the restaurant, you'll definitely surprised with their fantastic ambience, chic and classic interior! The high ceiling. The ceramic tiled flooring. The mouth-watering displayed cakes. The alfresco area. The tropical greenery at the windows.It make me feel like I'm far away from the hustle and bustle city life.
