The quality of the photos are not as usual, as I remember that I did not bring my camera for lunch that day (something totally out of the norm), and so, I had to use my phone to capture the food.
I've blogged about this Little Taiwan restaurant run by Malaysian in the 1 Utama Shopping Centre in my previous posts :-)
Set lunch rice set with vegetables
Mini Spicy tomyam seafood steamboat with noodles
SUPER Spicy!
Claypot silver needle noodles (remember the rat-tail noodles post?:)
Taiwanese crispy chicken with claypot hor fun (flat rice noodles)
I love their Aiyu Lemon Jelly; a must have each time I am there :)
Now notice the title of my post which had a rather unusual yet scary title including a 'coffin'?
Well, that is no typo error, as the following is the highlight of this meal; which is the Treasure Toast Box
They made a thick and huge bread toasted and then stuffed with meat, seafood and vegetables.
I was told that in Taiwan or Hong Kong, this is also translated literally from Chinese to mean 'Coffin Toast Box' and is a huge hit among the locals.
I am not sure whether this is the exact version, and I am really bummed that I was without my 'best buddy' (Camera) at that time!:(
I don't think I need to explain the origin of the name of this toast; I leave it to your imagination!;)
I have to laugh at "the coffin toast"
ReplyDeleteeven though you didn't have your best buddy camera, we still get the idea!
I bet ta=hat it was very tasty, too!
Hahaha Nancy, it was funny, right? :P
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine how people thought up a name like that for a toast!
That coffin toast made me smile - funny (and fun!) concept :) It looks like a great meal, phone pictures and all!
ReplyDeletei heard about this coffin toast, dont think i going to order this, hehehe..
ReplyDeleteThat claypot hor fun looks good! And strangely, I've never seen this cofin toast before in HK. But it has been a while since I've gone back for a visit. It certainly is a creative idea - kinda like an Asian style pot pie! =)
ReplyDeleteAh, I wondered where the jelly in your header image came from... now I know. That "coffin toast" looks awesome :D Is it complete bread at the bottom too, or is it a hole cut into the slice, filled with veg and then a lid on top?
ReplyDeleteI ate that coffin toast at food republic before.... the taste is bland hehehe same with the name hehehe
ReplyDeleteThe food looks delicious though!
ReplyDeleteKari, ohhh, loved your comment..hehe, I was so worried about the quality of the photos :p
ReplyDeleteSonia, hahaha...I didn't either, my brother ordered it for my photography purpose :D
ReplyDeleteSharon, that's a nice idea (or name) for the 'coffin toast' :D
ReplyDeleteCharles, Awww...now the secret's out of the bag..sighs!:P
ReplyDeleteOh, it is a complete bread...it is cut with a hole on the top as a lid ;)
