One of the more unique features of this establishment is that you can shop, eat and cook all at the same time! ToTT consists of a huge store that stocks kitchen appliances and accessories from all over the world, a Bistro that showcases both Asian and Western cuisine, and there is also a fully equipped cooking studio. It's no wonder that people call it a kitchen wonderland!My second visit to ToTT was during a weekday at lunchtime. The crowd at that time consisted mainly of working adults, expats
My second visit to ToTT was during a weekday at lunchtime. The crowd at that time consisted mainly of working adults, expats and also a table of mothers with kids. There was also a cooking class going on in the studio when I was there.
THE FOOD
I decided to go for their special-of-the-day; the Ricotta and Spinach Ravioli in Pesto Sauce. While it was a little on the salty side for me, the ravioli was cooked rather well. The portion was also just nice for me and since it was loaded with ricotta cheese, it was actually rather filling. We also shared some Mushroom Medley Spring Rolls which is made from 3 different types of mushrooms, I am told. Crispy on the outside, moist and soggy on the inside and has a rather interesting taste. The other item we shared was the Chicken Wings which were surprisingly good and probably my favourite dish out of the 3. Sweet, savoury and crispy.
I also ordered a Summer Delight which is a fruity and icy blend of pineapple, lemon and apple - a very refreshing thirst quencher on a hot and humid afternoon. It reminds me a little of the Apple Katsuri at Secret Recipe, but the Summer Delight is more on the sweet side which is great for people who can't take overly sour stuff.THE ENVIRONMENT
The store occupies quite a spacious area and even has a play pen area for children which they call the Lil' ToTTs section. Mothers can gossip over a snack at the Bistro while they leave their kids to jump around at the play pen area. There is also a nursery for the younger toddlers.One of the more interesting things that I didn't get to try out was their Bake & Go section where you can pick a tin of Cookie dough from around $10 (price varies), bake some fresh cookies on the spot and bring them home! The kids will definitely love this and it's also kind of a cheap thrill for adults (like myself). If I get the chance to drop by ToTT again, I will definitely want to try it out! =D
Overall, the ambiance at ToTT was very peaceful and casual, while the staff there were also very friendly. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has kids and also any aspiring chefs!
