I say old chap, time for a spot of afternoon tea, what. Well, high tea in Singapore has its followers but isn't as popular as the cup of coffee. Coffee chains (eg Starbucks, ugh) are commonplace but the local brew remains the staple beverage. Local coffee is made from beans which have been roasted in margarine and is either served black or with milk, either evaporated or condensed (none of that fresh nonsense). Mother's milk to the local drinker.
One such place to get a fix is a chain called Toast Box. Here one can get buttered toast with peanut butter, pork floss or kaya (a sweet custard like coconut milk, egg and pandan based spread), local coffee as well as snacks and light meals, all in a traditional kopi tiam (coffee shop) setting. That unusual cone shaped item on the left is a mound of butter.
