Toast Box has recently taken over what used to be BreadTalk at the space opposite Food Republic food court in Suntec City. Besides offering Toast Box favourites such as Curry Chicken and Laksa, Toast Box has reinvented the traditional egg tart by incorporating 4 different flavours.
This is the Original Egg Tart. The crust is buttery and crumbly, the egg custard filling is delightfully soft and strikes the perfect balance between eggs and butter.
Mochi Egg Tart has a coffee-jelly filling that is more sweet than bitter with just the slightest hint of coffee. It is perfect for non-coffee drinkers like me.
Stuffed with sweet coconut filling and sprinkled with dried coconut flakes, Coconut Egg Tart does not only taste good, it looks good too.
Golden Lava Egg Tart is my favourite of the three flavours. The saltiness and graininess of the custard filling provides an interesting contrast to the buttery and sweetness of the crust. The Golden Lava Egg Tart is best eaten when freshly out of the oven and you will see the custard filling flowing when when you bite into it, but knowing when to buy them is a tricky business and we will just have to depend on luck for now.
I have fallen head over heels over Toast Box’s Egg Tarts. I can have them for breakfast, lunch and dinner and I won’t get sick of the delicious little things. They are surprisingly very filling and the most I can manage in one sitting is 4. I wonder how the Golden Lava Egg Tart will taste when paired with a scoop of premium vanilla ice-cream? I will let you know when I have tried it.
