I was first told about their peanut butter and condensed milk thick toast by Wey Shi. Remembered him raving about it over the phone that night after his first visit there with his good friend. Then i thought, 'Chey, it's only bread with peanut butter mah. Isn't it what we normally eat at home for breakfast? The only extra thing is the condensed milk. I also know how to add.'
But when i saw the actual toast, it looked so appetising! Especially with the generous amount of peanut butter and condensed milk which will flow onto the plate when you cut the toast. Wey Shi would always spread the extra 'flow' onto his bread so that it wouldn't be wasted. Haha. I love the thick toast itself too. Crispy and not too dry. Just nice! They also have other flavours. For durian lovers, there is the durian puree flavour. Definitely not for me though.

Another thing I like is their drinks. Unlike most shops which serve their drinks in cups, theirs are served in tall glass bottles and can normally fill up to 2 cups. I usually order the 8 treasures tea (S$3.88). Their HK Milk Tea is not bad too (S$2.88). They also have other quirky combinations such as Cappucino (or coffee) with Coke and Coke with honey.
Cantonese will know that 'Tong Shui' means 'desserts'. But this place offers more than that. Their Chinese antique tables matched with bright pink and lime green walls give off a very comfy feeling. They also have 2 plasma TVs: one for the indoor diners and the other for e diners outside. The best part is they screen cable channels, mostly Chinese movies. I even managed to watch half of Rob-B-Hood there. Sometimes, they also show EPL matches.
So if you are looking for a nice place to chill out and watch soccer matches/movies at the same time and getting sick of pubs and macs, this is the place!
