Thick toasty goodness

 

Freshly toasted bread is my kryptonite. There’s just something insanely satisfying about sinking your teeth into a thick fluffy square of golden toast. Slathered in maple syrup, paired with a generous slab of butter, or even eaten plain, thick toast has captured the hearts of Singaporeans islandwide.

It delights me to no end to find hidden cafes in the heartlands. Not only because it makes me feel like Dora The Explorer, but because they usually serve food that my malnourished pockets can afford.

Nestled in Tampines, Meet & Melt specialises in lovely creations such as the Ferrero Rocher Toast ($12.90) which features warm buttery thick toast served with a generous scoop of ice cream.

The cafe even offers over-the-top milkshakes piled high with sweet treats! So if you’d like an all-round dessert experience, this cafe is a worthy contender for your money and your heart.

Trust the Japanese not to disappoint in the taste department. The Japanese Matcha & Ogura Honey Toast ($16.80) is a unique creation of Wa Cafe, and an absolute stunner.

Imagine a toast so delightfully crisp on the outside, yet magically pillowy soft on the inside, paired with scoops of matcha and vanilla ice cream, and a generous serve of sticky azuki beans – this dish is a foolproof combination, and a force to be reckoned with.

The only downside is that some say the toast gets a tad dry after a while, so make sure to spread out your ice cream rations to avoid feeling like a parched peanut halfway through the dish.

4. One Man Coffee

Though they specialise in espresso, One Man Coffee also has a hidden star in their Salted Caramel Banana French Toast ($10). While it may pale in terms of looks, don’t discount this salty-sweet concoction immediately because this baby will blow your mind.

Impossibly soft and fluffy brioche bread, sweet caramelized bananas, and beautiful strokes of French cream and salted caramel. Oh, it’s practically a dream come through.

All ingredients from Tuk Tuk Cha are sourced directly from the Land of Smiles, and eating their toast will likewise put a smile on your face. Serving thick toasts that boast an addictive crust which gives way to soft buttery insides when cut into, this place is home to one of the best thick toasts in town.

There are even some who claim their Shibuya Toast is comparable to that of the highly raved Thai dessert cafe, After You – which trust me, is pretty dang good.

If you are a fan of coconuts, opt for their Aloha Coconut ($10.80) Shibuya Toast that has copious amounts of coconut flesh paired with a refreshing scoop of ice cream. Surprisingly, toast and coconuts go well together. Who would have thought!

Ps. Pair your block of doughy goodness with a cup of Tuk Tuk Cha’s authentic Thai Milk Tea for a meal that is simple but soooooo gooooood.

Behold, the Honey Butter Thick Toast ($5.80) from Korean cafe chain Tom N Toms. It may not look completely appetizing, but don’t judge it till you try it.

What sets Dessert Project apart from other toast contenders is the use of handcrafted ice cream to top its 3 inch thick beauties.The insides of the toast are slathered in glorious melted butter that peeks out when you sink your knife into it. When eaten with the cafe’s superior cold creamy goodness, each mouthful gives way to a fantastic taste explosion.

Other than their toast, Dessert Project has other interesting offerings such as ice cream in flavours like Melon with Parma Ham, and even the childhood favorite – White Rabbit Candy.

The Missing Pan’s Beef French Toast Salpicon ($21) is a curious mix of sweet and savoury that goes surprisingly well. Topped with loads of sweet fresh fruit and a chicken skewer, the thick french toast also hides a savoury core made up of a tender beef chuck and mushroom stew.

Drizzle the strawberry-smoked maple syrup generously over the toast to get a wonderful collision of flavours that will leave you wanting more. Consider this if you are looking for somewhere to satisfy your dessert cravings, without busting your budget for a proper main meal!
