It might’ve taken them awhile (we first told you about the rumor that PS. Cafe would be setting up shop in Tiong bahru back in June), but PS. Cafe has finally moved into the hood.
Their latest venture is PS. Cafe PETIT, housed in the space formerly occupied by White Canvas Gallery and just a few doors down from another newbie Flock Café. While the décor’s pretty much identical to the rest of their other restaurants (you know what we’re talking about), the concept’s a little different. It’s a takeaway pizza bar (yes, you heard us right), with a compact menu of just nine pizza offerings (from $21) and one lonesome but yummy The Super Food Salad ($9.80), with blueberries, whole roasted almonds, wolfberries, broc, oven-baked pumpkin, spinach, crisp slivers of garlic and quinoa served alongside an orange-rosemary dressing. While they don’t go out of their way to encourage people to eat in, there are some counter seats and a few tables if you insist on having your pie there (12 seats in total), but bear in mind you’ll have to rough it (be prepared to eat out of the box).
Back to the pizzas, you’ve got meat-heavy goods including winter salami Margherita with mozz, cheddar and scamoza cheese ($28) and Kurobuta pork-fennel sausage with roasted red peppers ($26) to choose from, as well as vegetarian-friendly options like bianca funghi, a white pizza topped with grilled king oyster, portobello and button mushrooms drizzled with white truffle oil ($26) and one for the die-hards, Green Goddess ($24), with green peppers, sugar snaps, spinach, broccoli, peas, mozzarella, chèvre and pesto.
They also offer bakes such as blueberry sour cream and apple crumble muffins (both $6.50), plus close to 80 bottles of vino (from $30) that you can grab and go. There’s a healthy selection of Aussie labels including Stella Bella (from $45) and John Duval Plexus Shiraz Grenache Mourvedre ($76), and even bubbly like vintage Dom ($250) and Krug ($290)—because everyone absolutely needs a $300 bottle of champers to wash down their pizza.
Also new in the area are coffee spot Flock Café and bakeries like Nicher and dough&grains.
