| Toast Cubes |
I'm coming back for these.
Absolutely. Definitely. :)
They make one of the most fun snacks anyone can have on an early afternoon. Especially if you're window shopping. It is a place where you can decide whether you want to sit down and have them, or if you want to take them along with you. They're easy to carry around, and pretty fun to just spear and munch as you go along.
I'd heard of Tuk Tuk Cha.
Past couple of months, they'd made quite a name for themselves in their drinks, snacks and boat noodles, and when I spoke to someone who shared with me a plan to work on his social media marketing efforts to attract as many millennials and foodies to their place the same way this franchise had done, it made me really want to give these thick toast things a shot. :)
We ordered one, trying to choose between the kaya dip and the Thai tea dip. The Thai tea dip won. I like the texture. It's thick and creamy enough without it being too cloying. It's like a sauce of sorts but is thicker than a regular chocolate or strawberry sauce. It gets absorbed into the toast pretty easily and a bite of the crispy, crunchy toast leaves the taste of Thai tea swirling about on your tongue. It looks pretty. Plus, it is served cold.
Actually, it reminds me of the cream in Meiji's Yan Yan chocolate and strawberry snack, and the way we'd dip the biscuit inside just to scoop out the cream, something tossing the biscuit aside. :P
You can't do this with the toast though. You won't want to. It's incredibly crispy. It's just the right shape. It's cute. And you find yourself trying to figure out which corner to bite off first. Do you eat up all the corners first or do you eat it one-direction from one corner all the way to the other side of the cube?
I ate it the latter way, munching through it all the way. Maybe I'll try eating it by the edges the next time. After all, they've made just the eating of a simple thick toast remarkably fun. :)
