Toast Box

Toast? Seriously? The idea of buying prepared toast and peanut butter doesn’t sit well with me. But the location was nice, and I try to have an open mind and palate.
It is what it is, it is good toast and it came with kopi in a set so it worked out well. I guess this place is for those moments you miss breakfast food and dont have time to prepare it.

Toast Box is a hugely popular chain in Singapore and this location tends to feature a line of locals 10+ deep. That being said, the line moves pretty quickly, so don’t let the line deter you if you want to try the local goodies at Toast Box. I’ve had a chance to try a few of the goodies, but plan to try more:
1. Kaya Toast (~$ 1.50): I’ve tried this a few times and I’m not hooked, but I know it is extremely popular. The dish is made by liberally spreading butter and kaya (eggs, sugar, coconut milk and pandan) on 2 thin slices of white toast and making a sandwich
2. Peanut Butter Thick Toast ($ 1.70): A few bites of this and you may feel that you have enough sustenence to run a marathon. The thick cut toast is buttered and toasted slightly crispy and then slathered with chunky, not too sweet peanut butter. Before handing it over, they cut the piece of toast into 9 small squares and provide a toothpick to eat it without getting your hands dirty. It is extremely potent, and you may want to bring a buddy for sharing
3. Kopi (~$ 1.50): Classic kopi is the local coffee and reminds me a bit of Vietnamese coffee. It is made with thick, dark coffee and condensed milk. If you prefer your coffee unsweeted with evaporated milk, make sure you order «kopi ‘c’ kosong». Standard kopi is served sweetened
PARTING THOUGHT: My colleagues told me that you can actually get the already extravagant peanut butter thick toast kicked up a notch with a liberal drizzle of condensed milk, so that is on my list next!
