toast box @ westgate

actually dropped by westgate when it just opened think 2 wks ago but it was still renovating.... today went down to JEM to sign up for the bloody NTUC member card again cause it rejected me... I was like WTH!?!?!??! reject me!?!?!? ok.... lets not talk about random stuff.... so after going to JEM, we decided to go next door to check out westgate.... 1st impression, quite a nice building, quite a variety of stores which are seldom available outside town area, cant remember the names so cant give any examples.... but they have isetan.... not that I am isetan fan but always good to have more departmental stores around.... food wise... I think also quite a large variety... PAUL, skinny pizza, menya musashi, Osaka oosha & 4fingers.... I guess jurong east is like trying to be the next orchard... damn... bloody property price will increase, like that how to buy flat!!!!!

so after walking around, nothing much interest me so decided to go for something more budget = toast box which turn out to be a bad choice... I think I ate at toast box before but should be super long ago so I forgotten about the taste....

laksa set

my bf ordered this.... the laksa has too strong coconut taste & the gravy is way too little... so deh deh... not nice

mee siam set

I seldom eat mee siam so thought want to be adventurous... again... deh deh... not nice... somehow as I ate more, I somewhat had a vomit taste from the noodle but I guess should be just the seasoning.... & to make it worst... the barley is super blend... like omg terrible.... ya kun barley not say SUPER nice but at least quite good so I thought toast box 1 shouldn't be too bad but I am so wrong.... NEVER try the barley here again... is like drinking cloudy water.... kns...

ok... the peanut butter thick toast still ok... again.... if it has more peanut on top, it will be nicer....

in short... can only go toast box for the thick toast but I think I will rather go yakun & get kaya toast & have a nice cup of barley....

FOOD

back to review on some of the food that I ate yesterday.... went down to orchard to buy xmas presents for my friends, as usual everywhere is packed with people but lucky we had our dinner early so we didn't have to fight with a lot of people....

1st stop = Sapporo petit doughnut @ taka basement

 

wanted to try this store quite sometime ago but normally we are quite full so didn't get the chance.... actually is nothing really fancy about it but then as long as something comes from japan... the packaging just makes it look much nicer & tastier... there are total of 8 flavours: custard, cheese, chocolate cream, strawberry milk, red bean, pumpkin cream, cafelatte cream & apple cream... the doughnuts are really petite... bite size.... taste wise I would say is not too bad but is so small that, you hardly get much of the filling... & price wise is on the steep side... 8pieces for $4.80.... 60cent/pc.... for something so small, is definitely too expensive but I think is ok to try it once... just try something new....

2nd stop: MEDZ @ orchard central basement
is marche style but I feel is on the cheaper ends & focus on mediterranean food.... same concept, go around the stores to order anything you like, pay with the card & get the "token", when it light up then go get your food... simple concept.... I would say the price isn't much cheaper from a normal restaurant but you don't need to pay service charge so that is like 10% discount already... so I kind of like this place....

 our all time favourite = rosti.... for rosti with sour cream, it cost $5.90... is for 1 pax, I think the diameter is about 15cm, but I think is ok to share....

 the little stone on the table which indicate the seats were taken... quite a cute thing actually

 the purpose we went back to MEDZ is because of this = calzone... we wanted to try last time but we already ordered pizza so is kind of stupid to order calzone which is somewhat similar... first impression... very big curry puff... which is somewhat like that

we ordered pesto chicken... erm.... the chicken tasted kind of dry & blend but is healthy.... my favourite thing is the cheese... I like the mozzarella cheese... so yes.. that's why I like to eat pizza =) this cost $13.90.... I wont say is very expensive

3rd stop: toast box at robinson basement
we had the rosti & calzone for dinner... honestly that was not enough for 2 adults but yesterday I wasn't feeling well so for my appetite was enough but not so for my bf ma... so we crossed over to buy drink from cold storage cause the drinks are super expensive at MEDZ... after that we saw toast box so had a snack there....

I think I tried the peanut butter toast before... ok.... quite generous with the spread but I think if there are more peanut chunks on top will be nicer.... for $1.70.... I think is ok....
