PS Cafe has a spiffy location at Raffles City (#03-37, 252 North Bridge Road, tel : +65 6708 9288). We were here for a quick dinner. That dish on top was their Szechuan chilli pepper chicken fried rice. Didn't taste like fried rice to me. The gong bao sauce didn't pack much heat. While I don't know much about cooking, I'm pretty qualified to comment that those chicken that they used would have turned out much better if they had been stir fried rather than boiled. Nothing was caramelized and the cashews weren't toasted; the result was that much of flavour that made gong bao chicken simply didn't exist. While it didn't taste bad, it did feel like an imitation of a Chinese dish that felt stereotypically American Chinese.
But maybe that was their point.

Their hae mee was still outstanding like we remembered it. Probably the only food from this region that they did right by.
