PS Cafe - - -> Perplexedly Substandard Cafe

After the much unhappy encounter with PS Cafe @ Demspey last year, it sort of given me pretty bad impression.
For those who don't know what happened, let me recount again:
Me & frenz had wanted to go PS cafe on a Sunday.
My gf called dayz in adv to reserve a table. But was told they do not accept reservation. Gotta go there & queue.
>.<''' Ok fine.

We reached at noon time & realized the whole place is packed with Ang Mohs.
Before us, there is another couple in the queue only.

Told the girl we have 3 people, she noted down & told us they are full so have to wait. >.<''''
While waiting, another Ang Moh group arrived & was shown in IMMEDIATELY.
When we question the girl why was that group given special treatment, she say they had already reserved table! >.<''''''
The next group of MTV VJs arrived, & again they were shown in IMMEDIATELY! >.<''''''''''

By then, we decided we had enough. This place is racist.
So we changed our luncheon venue.

Fasttrack to Thur night, it was Ms Reporter bday & she wanted to go PS cafe.
So i just went along.
& i think, this should be the last time this place earn my hard-earn money.
Reason being that:
- to reserve table for weekdayz dinner, there are only 2 time slots u can choose: 6.30pm or 8.30pm (it's almost impossible for general working adults to reach that damn place at 6.30pm coz normal working time is till 6pm. so u can only starve till 8.30pm)
- On the menu, there are like less than 10 main courses for u to select (my Coq Au Vin Pie is just a pie with chicken dice & mushroom stuffing).
- the starting price of dessert is from $12. Now i really don't mind paying that kind of $ for a decent dessert. But not for a slice of cake! So there was no dessert for the night.
- Half way through our meal, the waiter requested to replace the 2 chairs (sat by our bags) for our table with 2 stools. Coz another Ang Mohs group just arrived & there is not enough chairs.
- Outdoor seatings will get to enjoy crickets "singing", not in normal volume. It's in damn loud volume that seems like there are millions of crickets surrounding u. (i hate creepy crawlies fyi)
- We were told by the waiter that we are NOT allow to take photo of the architecture & food. (in case u're wonderin so how on earth i managed to take those pics above. Cos i don't give a damn to their silly ruling). If museum can take photo w/o flash, why can't this damn place with just zinc roof top, dim lightings, brand-less furnitures & greenery.
- There are only 2 damn small cubicles for ladies restroom (so there is always a queue, don't wait till it's urgent then visit. Your poor bladder will suffer)
- While settling the bill, they added 3 never-ordered items to our bill! (imagine if i did not check through the bill but just sign blindly)
>.<'''''''''''''''''''''''''''' by now, the no. of sweat on my forehead has grown to as many as the crickets "singing" there.

In general, PS Cafe is just a Perplexedly Substandard Cafe.
Don't waste your time, money & stomach for this place.
There are much better similar cafe out there. Trust me.
