Treasure Toast (#01-01, 23 Purvis Street, tel : +65 8817 0865) is by the talked about Bao Er Cafe which in turn, stemmed from Prawnography.
Kopi was thick, bitter and slightly sour with little body and aroma. 勉强 can drink 😬. I don't think it's great as local coffees go. I'll take Toast Box over it anytime.
People talk about their kaya toast. Not bad. Nice pandan flavour going on with kaya but the consistency was kinda thin. Also not difficult to find ones of similar standards around.
Hokkien mee has no wok hei like Prawnography but did have decent stock flavour which was pretty robust, a little sweet and did not exactly come across as crustacean-y. See the 3 small scallops? Extra $2.50 for those which I wouldn't recommend. Fried lard (猪油渣) was not the freshest. What carried this through was the sambal belachan which I thought was pretty good.
Bee hoon had a smoky flavour which I like but it was also pretty greasy.
Otah's flat and lacking of any nuances. I don't think it was good. While they look similar, Janggut Laksa's otah is much better tasting.
