Served with ham and cheese sandwiched between two slices of thick fluffy toast, coated in a floury egg mixture and deep fried till golden brown, this ham and cheese French toast was a substantial savory dish.

The toast slices were really thick, making it a filling dish. The ham and cheese within were nothing to rave about, but what was deserving to mention of this dish was the finesse by which it was executed.

Whilst looking like a seemingly innocuous deep fried toast dish, it was impressive that the toasts manage to retain their fluffiness even after being strewn into hot oil to simmer. That only reveals two things: the technicality with which the chef has deep fried it, as well as how fresh the toasts are.

At $5, this was definitely worth the price tag but be warned, it might get a bit jelat/filling so best to order for sharing. But if you’re not getting other dishes, this might suffice on its own. The butter and maple syrup served also complemented the dish well, cutting through the potential greasiness of the dish.
