Crowd favourite PS Cafe opens Katong outpost with exclusive menu items

Surely the name PS Cafe is on almost everyone’s lips when it comes to truffle fries. I certainly am one of those and I was elated to hear that it now has a new store in Katong — one of my favourite neighbourhoods.

PS Cafe Katong joins the army of new tenants that have found themselves a home in the newly renovated i12 Katong mall. This popular cafe occupies a pretty spot that overlooks the cross junction of East Coast Road and Joo Chiat Road. 

The cafe features indoor and outdoor seating — totalling 134 seats — and is the only PS Cafe store where you can bring your furkids along on your next weekend jaunt.

Menu staples such as the truffle shoestring fries (S$17) and PS Burger (S$30) are here to stay, but it’s the Original Laksa Leaf Pesto (S$26) that’s got me particularly excited.

As one of the brand’s longest-serving menu items and signature creations from its early Paragon years, it makes Katong its second home. This dish is a hearty, savoury number comprising spaghettini, king prawns, fishcake, and French bean sambal.

There are also some southeast Asian flavours to spice things up. Get its Thai chicken and basil bowl (S$26) and the outlet-exclusive Bali beef cheek rendang rice bowl (S$29).

The latter features fork-tender beef cheek cloaked in a thick, multi-layered rendang sauce and finished with shallot-scented rice, sambal tempeh, French bean, shredded egg omelette, winged bean salad, cucumber, pineapple pickle, and crispy prawn crackers.

Make sure to save room for its new (also outlet-exclusive!) dessert, the PS Katong Chendol Panna Cotta (S$15) — a delightfully creamy, coconutty play on a well-loved local favourite. I don’t know about you, but I’m already pencilling in a visit this weekend.
