Afternoon snack at Toast Box

Eating at Toast Box always gives me Singapore feels. This is my third time to eat at Toast Box. The line of customers ordering is not that long, be it lunch or dinner. Their customers are a mix of nationalities (Filipinos, of course, and then I noticed some Chinese, American and Spanish people 😉). While I and my boyfriend were ordering our food at the counter, we heard the members of the crew talking to each other about the customers' orders in Singaporean Chinese! This gave me a feeling similar to the one that I felt back when I was in Singapore. 😁 (this made me feel nostalgic). We thought that the crew was really trained well not only because of their ability to speak a bit of Chinese but also because of the way they prepare their customers' orders (especially the preparation of the tea! Sad I wasn't able to take a picture of it 😞). 

We ordered Kaya Toast Set (P145), 

This toast has softened butter and coco jam inside. The combination is great! Coco jam's not too sweet. :)

Floss Thick Toast Set (P160), which has 1 Kaya Toast bread with soft boiled eggs and Teh (Nanyang Milk Tea),

This Floss Thick Toast, as its name says, has really a thick topping of floss on top. And it also has a hint of sweetness because of the sweet syrup, I think.

Nonya Laksa (P225), which is their authentic Singaporean Laksa,

This really is the bomb (the bomb 1 :p),

And Char Kway Teow (P225) (my personal favorite! :D).

This is ALSO the Bomb (the bomb 2!) :D

All of our orders are good for sharing (2 persons only). 

If you like Singaporean cuisine, Toast Box has it. Try here now! I promise that every penny you'll be spending will be worth it. 😊

Mad Mark's Creamery and Good Eats

For our two friends' joint birthday celebration, they have 
decided to treat us at Mad Mark's Creamery and Good Eats
Glorietta 5 branch.

Upon entering Mad Mark's, their cheerful crew greeted us and 
accomodated us immediately. Although the place is quite small,
the interior and the tables and chairs are designed and arranged
neatly. Because of their small area, they usually have a waiting list during their peak hours (lunch and dinner), so you should arrive a bit earlier if you are planning to have your lunch/dinner here.

We ordered Patatas Bravas (P75/bowl). This can be eaten alone without any dip because 
of the spices. 

Ragin Cajun Wings (4 pcs. chicken wings coated in tangy, sweet 
and spicy sauce). These 4 pcs. chicken wings cost P170 which is 
already affordable.

 

and of course, their Signature Steak, which we requested to be
cooked medium rare (medium rare means the center of the 
meat will be slightly reddish-pink in color instead of red) 
for P265 (we ordered the regular one). You can choose your sauce
for the steak and I chose the Bootstrap Sauce, which complemented
the taste of the steak.

You can also choose a side dish for your steak. I chose broccoli with 
carrots, and man, its so good! Maybe because of the melted cheese 
poured over the veggies which made it taste kind of creamy.  

You can also choose between rice and Smashed Potato to go with 
your steak. I chose the Smashed Potato. Their version of the mashed
potato is so good and yummy because it is really made from real
potato chunks. 

To end our scrumptious meal, we ordered their best seller Half Baked
Madagascar ice cream for P85/scoop. 

It is a vanilla flavored ice cream with
bits of cookie dough.

Overall, I really had a very good experience. Will definitely come
back to try the other food in their menu! :D
