Singapore’s iconic and widely-loved contemporary Nanyang coffee chain Toast Box 土司工坊 is unveiling its newest concept store; inspired by classic kopitiams of yesteryear, at Takashimaya Shopping Centre.
Step back in time at Toast Box Takashimaya S.C. which exudes the vibrant vibe of coffee shops from the 1950s to 1980s with its seamless blend of traditional elements with a touch of modern flair. Designed to evoke fond memories for locals and share a part of Singapore’s rich cultural heritage to travellers, this store also offers a unique juxtaposition of a time-honoured concept amid a modern landscape. Be greeted by a charming turquoise-coloured store; a departure from the usual all-white interior, decked out with classic memorabilia, vintage photographs, and warm wood furnishings which create a whimsical ambience.
Besides mainstays such as traditional toasts, sandwiches, and beverages, Toast Box Takashimaya S.C. also offers a curated selection of hearty local-inspired delights, toasts and unique experience sets. Reminisce the good old days by tucking into Toast Box Takashimaya S.C. menu items! Indulge in Bak Chor Ramen 肉脞拉面 ($8.80), a dish akin to local Bak Chor Mee, featuring springy ramen noodles in a robust broth with savoury pork slices, succulent prawns and fish cake. A re- imagined take on another Singaporean favourite, Char Siew Ramen 叉烧拉面 ($8.80) boasts tender char siew pork, a perfectly cooked sunny-side up egg, and sprinkle of fried shallots, with fiery chilli padi on the side for those who like it with a bit of heat!
Elevate the breakfast or afternoon tea experience with an all-new Mentaiko Egg Sando 明太子厚蛋三 明治 ($5.50) with creamy mentaiko spread and luscious egg omelette nestled between soft and fluffy toast. Don’t miss the Waterfall Kopi/Teh 瀑布咖啡/奶茶 ($4.00) , a visual and flavourful treat prepared the traditional way – a rich and aromatic freshly-brewed Nanyang Kopi topped with a thick layer of milky froth.
Relish the perfect “la-kopi” ritual at Toast Box Takashimaya S.C with store-exclusive Experience sets such as Kopi Trio 咖啡三宝 ($5.50) which allows customers to savour the distinct flavours of traditional Kopi, Kopi C and Kopi O, as well as Teh Trio 茶三宝 ($5.50) for tea lovers to sip on Teh,
