wanted some dessert after a not very filling dinner, so L and i headed over to suntec. even at almost nine, there was a queue, not just for seats, but also for orders (they had separate queues for ordering and seats). granted, the space was pretty small, with just a communal table in the middle taking up most of the space, and a couple of bar seats. 

managed to get seats after probably fifteen minutes. the food came about ten minutes later, so the wait was surprisingly short given the number of customers they had versus the number of staff. 

the golden toast with thai tea kaya ($3.80) came first. i found the thai tea kaya to be on the bland side- could hardly taste the tea flavour. the toast cubes were crispy, but after eating two it got to be a bit much because of its oiliness. probably wouldn't be ordering this again. 

we also got the aloha coconut shibuya toast ($10.80), which fared better. the highlight was probably the creamy coconut ice-cream- really good. i don't like ice-cream in general, but i loved this one. it was so much like having an actual coconut. the toast was topped with shredded dried coconut and actual coconut flesh. given that i'm really into coconut... of course i liked this. the toast itself was not bad- buttered well, crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. it was a good vehicle for the ice-cream. this, i would get again if there wasn't a queue.

L also got a hot thai milk tea ($1.70) and i got a hot black coffee ($1.50). L liked hers- i tried it, and agreed. it had a strong tea taste, and was only mildly sweet. my black coffee, however, didn't have any kick at all. way too dilute. 

for the price, it was quite a satisfying dessert. i know $10.80 is quite a bit to pay for basically just ice-cream and toast (as L says) but it's one of the cheapest shibuya toasts around. no service charge as well, so that's a bonus. will be back if i want a carb fix.
