Toast Box at City Square Mall always seems to be crowded at every time of the day, particularly so at tea time from 4+ to 6+. They have a good range of local food such as mee rebus/laksa etc but for tea time you may want to try their cakes and toast.We ordered a Lemon Grass Tea w Jelly ($2.60), Teh-C ($1.70) and a slice of their Banana Cake for $2.Out of everything, this probably surprised us the most. It had a distinct taste of teh-O, but yet the hint of lemongrass was really refreshing. It was

Out of everything, this probably surprised us the most. It had a distinct taste of teh-O, but yet the hint of lemongrass was really refreshing. It wasn't overly sweet, possibly not sweet enough for some, comparing to the kinds you get at Thai restaurants. The jelly was a good choice though -a pleasant touch to the otherwise bland tea. It's thirst quenching and has a lemony aftertaste.We do recommend this!
The Teh-C was a bit sappy for my liking, as im quite particular with teas. However, it wasn't too thick nor was it too sweet. Also, at $1.70 it's a reasonable price for a quick break before rushing off for more shopping!
The banana cake was a letdown though! The generous portion and golden-brown color was really enticing, but it fell short in terms of taste + texture. It wasn't fluffy at all, like how a perfect banana cake is supposed to be. It was chewy (much chewier than it looks) and slightly rubbery. Sigh. We didn't even finish the slice! Plus point would be that it wasn't too sweet?Do try the Lemon Grass Iced Tea -it's surprisingly good! Also, you can check out the range of toasts that they offer :-) it is, afterall, 'Toast' Box.
