Food made with love alw tastes heavenly. It doesnt hav to be expensive or valuable in nature, jus food made from the heart. U work hard for ur food. U decide if it is worthy to be placed in your mouth... I call this philosophy: Igersm :)

Oldtown White Coffee
First thot when we entered was... empty. Cos it was 8 plus in the morning. We debated if it was abt the time or sure if it's tasty not, as wat the papers said it was.
"THEN, IT WAS JUST THEN WHEN WE SAW THE MENU. IMPRESSIVE... IMPRESSIVELY EX." as the mum proclaimed.
u see, she was the one who treated so her eyeballs totally POPPED OUT when she saw the prices despite the whole array of dishes. LIKE MORE EX THAN YA KUN?! how much can 1 kopi, 2 eggs & 1 slice of bread with kaya n butter cost? Kopitiam only cost $2 PLUSS now they are scheming. THEY DUN OFFER THEIR BREAKFAST(BF)SETS ($4.20 for 1 slice of Kaya Toast, 2 Eggs, 1 Kopi) ON WKENDS & PH. LIKE HUH!? If u wan Nanyang Coffee, hav to top up $1. So I convinced her that the Kopi here is really gd, as wat the papers claimed.
We wanted to back out but we alr sat there for a gd 10 mins gasping at the menu.
So the sis decided ala carte 1 Nanyang White Kopi($2.20), 2 Eggs ($2.10)& 1 slice of Bread with Kaya n Butter ($1.20) whereas I had a PB Thick Toast($2.50) + 1 Nanyang White Kopi and the mum had her Polo Bun with Chicken Ham & Cheese($3.80) with 1 Kopi-0($1.80)
Ok the signature Nanyang White coffee was FABULOUS as waat the papers said. Really it has a bittersweet after taste and My My the milky taste is Wonderful. Am I in Vietnam rite now? AHHHH This so reminda me of Vietnam coffee! Even the froth is yummy and carries a strong coffee taste.
The mum liked her Kopi-O too!
The Polo Bun with Chicken Ham & Cheese was normal, however luckily, unlike Crystal Jade's polo buns, these aren't too sweet, yet it was normal in other words.
The Kaya Toast looked like charcoal but dun belittle this 'piece of coal'. The velvety kaya gives off the aura of coconut but dun worry it isnt too overpowering and the crispiness of the bread combined with a little butter (luckily only a little if not WAH so fattening) does command it being deserved the title of "Best Toast"
The PB Thick Toast was ordinary, I think I still like Toast Box's best.
2 Eggs on Toast
The sis ordered 2 eggs but they heard wrongly and gave 2 eggs on toast and they were quite unprofessional in it. "Sry, once the order is out, u cant change it." the waitress quipped.
But it was no fault of ours, the waitress who took our orders heard wrongly and thus ticked wrongly. Plus, if it's the mistake of ur fellow colleague, I'm sure it doesnt take much to help rectify rite?
Sooo... only come when u really feel there's money in ur pocket if not Toast Box wld suffice :)
Cos u hav to queue up and take ur own order via an order chit, yet also pay the 10% svc charge. Soooo.... if ya in Malaysia and miss Old Town, Grab it there, dun patronise it in SG. It's the same as Secret Recipe, they sell for the same price but in Malaysia it's in RM, whereas in SG it's SING DOLLARS!
