Toast Box Experience

          December 17, 2012. I had an appointment to my employer regarding our visa papers and other documents, so I went to the office in Malate, Manila in the afternoon. After all the things have settled, I contact my parekoy Elaine to have some snack and join her in her field work. While waiting to her bosses we decided to have our snack at “TOAST BOX” located at ground floor Padre Paura Wing, Robinsons Malate, Manila. It was a cozy restaurant; we enjoy the ambience that’s so inviting and pleasing to the eyes. The decors and the whole place is so simple and homie, the walls are painted in plain white, the decors are window frames that attached to the walls are also painted in white. The lightning are in lamp post type hanging in the ceiling, the table setting is simply white pair with white finished chairs. Their menu is trouble-free yet you may have that little curiosity towards the foods that they serve. The restaurant was originated at Singapore so expect the Asian invasion in their delicacies, the restaurant serves more on the breakfast type of menu, and well known in serving a cup of “Nanyang Coffee” (the traditional coffee in Singapore) go along with toasted bread. As we move on, we had their specialties or signature dishes, mine is “Kaya Toast” it’s a toast bread fill with coconut jam and butter, and I paired it with tall ice tea in with brown sugar. While elaine’s have her “Pork Floss Thick Toast” a toasted bread with shredded pork meat on the top- a taste of saltiness and sweetness of the bread, she paired it with a cup of black coffee. Every breakfast meals comes with two pieces boiled eggs, it was so odd but I think they have it as part of the meal to complete the daily dose of energy (carbohydrates and protein) into to your breakfast meal to boost of your body. I think I will go back there to try some of their “Laksa”, “Chicken Curry” and “Ice Cream Thick Toast”. You should try it to to enjoy a different twist in Asian cuisine.
