ps café @ paragon

doris called to have dinner together since she’ll be in town. couldn’t get a table at sushi-tei even after waiting for half an hour so we decided to go downstairs to ps café instead.

surprised that the café was not crowded on a saturday night. a table was readily available and we even managed to get a bigger one when janet and jason joined us later. guess this is no longer the “in” branch.

the décor of the café beside the boutique really looks like a kitchen straight out of a hollywood movie or an american sitcom.

i shared a roasted vegetable salad with doris that was pretty good. the red pepper was delightful sweet while the zucchini and sweet potatoes provided contrasting textures to the greens. in my opinion, it’s good enough to be a main course if you’re looking for a vegetarian option.

thomas had the laksa pesto while doris tried the classic beef stew. i didn’t feel like having sandwiches, so i ordered the chicken tau kwa burger. the bun has been replaced by the tau kwa. found the shredded chicken a little dry though.

doris and thomas had no complaints of their mains. cayden likes the mashed potato from the beef stew. he didn’t open his mouth when i fed him, just stared at me. only when janet gave it to him then he ate.

janet ordered the chocolate cake which was served warm. quite good... a huge slice that can’t possibly be just for 1 person. then again, it has to justify its $8.90 price.

cayden still allowed us to carry him and we passed him around without any fuss. he seems to know who’s mummy ’cos he’ll turn to look at janet whenever i asked him, “where’s mummy?”. he also gets “talkative” when’s he happy or excited.

however, there’s one not-so-nice trick that he has learnt and that’s spraying his saliva all over you when he blows air out of his closed mouth with a “boo” sound. jason says he does it when he is bored. apparently, he can’t sit quietly in restaurants.

i think he's just happy to be out and about and don't really care who's carrying him. :)
