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.

Love the restaurant interior

Every table was placed with tea-light candles creating a romantic atmosphere.

Okay, on to the food...

For the main course, My hubby ordered the Moroccan Lamb. He said the lamb was tender and delicious.

 Moroccan Lamb (S$36)
Ginger and Dukkah Crusted Lamb Skewers with Roasted Vegetable Cous Cous, Oven Roasted Tomatoes, Baby Rocket and Harissa Yoghurt.

For me, I ordered Miso Cod. The fish was fresh and light. Love the salad as well!

Broiled Aware Miso Pacific Cod Fillet with Ginger, Lemon & Sesame Dressed Soba Vegetable Salad

With still bit of room, my hubby suggested ordered truffle fries (the famous side dishes) which turned out to be a mountain load of fries! The portions is relatively huge (recommended for sharing), we couldn't finish them all.

Truffle Shoestring Fries (S$15)
With Grated Parmesan and Parsley, Tossed in Truffle Oil

Finally, the dessert!

Chocolate Doorstop Cake (S$15.90)
Come with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream

The total bill came to about S$128.76. Overall, this restaurant has very good ambience. Food was relatively good too! Worth the price even thou it's sightly overpriced. It's a nice place to go for a quiet and intimate dinner, and also a lazy brunch or lunch.

Fosters Steakhouse - The English Rose Cafe @ Holland Village

Met my best girls on Wednesday night for dinner date at Fosters Restaurant! The restaurant is at the very end of Holland Village.

 

 There is an outdoor seating area on the terrace or you can opt for indoor seats.

The interior is cosy with a mock fireplace, teddy bears, English Wing chair and even Christmas lights as decor. They also have a stage for live music!

 

The Menu - The Fosters Times

At night, the tables are decorated with tiny tealight candles giving the cafe a very pretty glow!

They serve breads with a french butter before the start of our main course.

Soup of the day - Mushroom Soup

Salad

This plate of vegetables are great if you are considering eating light.

Both of us ordered the set dinner.

Main Course:

Tenderloin Steak - Grilled to perfection with wild mushroom sauce served with gratin pancetta potatoes and seasonal vegetables. 

Tender and juicy!

 Seafood Combo - A medley of grilled cod, scallop and slipper lobster served with saffron sauce, seasonal vegetables and potatoes.

The seafood combo comes in a small portion. Overall the seafood are perfectly cooked and is fresh hence the dish is really good.

Dessert of the day - Creme brulee

 Taste good not too sweet.

The ambience is dim and  romantic. This a a great place to enjoy a cosy meal with loved ones or gathering with friends.

Alfresco Wine and Dine @ Kuching, Sarawak

Hey everyone! I'm back once again! After taking a long break during my final exams, I decided to take a trip back to my hometown in Sarawak, both to pay my folks a visit & also to celebrate my best friend's birthday!

I booked this place before leaving from SG, in order to ensure that we will have good seats. Going there on a weekday, it is not crowded. Furthermore, the place itself is quite easy to locate. You will be able to see it's main signboard from outside the shopping centre itself. The name of the shopping centre is Hock Lee Centre.

The place itself serves more of a pub and wine place, than a place for dinner. They also provide KTV services, but that is very common in most pubs anyway. The internal design is very much like an open-concept kitchen where you can observe a great view of the chef preparing the food while you enjoy your current dish.

Above is just a quick view of what the pub area looks like.

Moving on to the actual dishes, my friends ordered the same dish, which was the chicken chop & mushroom sauce. The portion is rather huge because it consists of 3 slices of chicken, which they can't finish. But with its price of just RM15 per plate, this dish is definitely a huge bargain for foreigners or anyone with a huge appetite. The meat itself is really tender, and juicy. They also served with the mash potato as a side on the dish, and the portion is really huge for us ladies as well.

And for myself, I decided to go with the Poached Salmon and this one, I also didn't finish. The salmon itself is truly fresh! Like it was alive before they actually kill it for cooking. When it comes to seafood, the most fresh ones are those that are prepared immediately after killing. 

On a whole, we ladies definitely enjoyed a great time chilling out there for almost 3 hours. We arrived around 7.30pm and left around 10.30pm. Guessed the crowd wasn't huge because it's still early for most people looking for a drink past midnight. Generally, the place is definitely worth visiting again!

In all, 5 of us only spent a total of RM131 including drinks. There's no GST or service charge like in Singapore!
