Whilst the fortress walls may prove unsurmountable unless the dining party consists of eight pre-breakfast Primary Two boys before Sports Day at MacRitchie Reservoir Park, what lies beyond is surprisingly good and luxuriously indulgent – soft and buttery bread cubes, crunchy granola, actual hazelnuts, juicy strawberries and mutantly huge blueberries with hazelnut sauce and an accompanying and rather expensive-tasting honey.

Sure, the ice cream may lose their pizzazz amidst all the Shibuya festivities – although the Shangri Latte (lol) holds up wonderfully well with its fragrant bitterness – but the ice cream part of things was always destined to be a supporting act and bread wall lubricant when the leads are so marvelous. 4/5

Fun fact: Som Tam is from the people behind Gin Khao, and Thai Basil joins the exotic lineup of gelato flavours in their repertoire which currently includes Sticky Rice, Tom Yum and Green Curry.

The air-fried golden toast had probably given its delectably crumbly innards a nice spray-on Lurpak butter tan as even one’s internal organs sometimes crave a nice summer glow for topless selfies and Instagram likes-collecting, etc. Elsewhere, the crunchy young coconut flesh tasted its primary school age and the coconut ice cream maintained its intrinsic integrity without selling out to milky sweet commerciality. 4/5

Expectations-wise, this was akin to ordering carrot cake and then being served a fat beta-carotene orange stick with leaves intact and frosting on top. The “Shibuya Toast” was crispy and pleasingly buttery (albeit evoking minor Khong Guan biscuit feels) but it all felt a bit bargain bin compared to the likes of Tuk Tuk Cha’s magnificent Golden Toast although the experience was ultimately trashily satisfactory. Elsewhere, the ice cream was decent – man, the banana was certainly the dominant one in that relationship – albeit relatively icy, and the portion was more than generous. 3.4/5

The memorable air-fried golden toast (which I had earlier described as having the delectably crumbling crispiness of a century-embalmed Egyptian mummy) was gloriously buttery and elsewhere, the fleshy mango chunks and thick mango ice cream – easily able to pass off as the actual fruit’s slightly botoxed sister – just about prevented the indulgent toast experience from ever reaching sore throat heights. 4/5
