  This place is on the ground floor of the old Majestic theatre, located in Chinatown. It's basically a kopitiam without a real tiam.
  
  The special item on the menu is ciabatta toast and orange ciabatta toast.
  
  I think the ciabatta toast is just ciabatta with kaya and butter.
  
  I just bought the orange ciabatta today (there's still ¾ of it left in front of me). I can't really tell what they smeared on it except butter. There's something else that looks like kaya but doesn't taste like kaya and doesn't really look like kaya either. I wonder if that's where the orange part comes from.
  
  *takes a bite*
  
  Slight citrus flavor only.
  
  Ciabatta bread is suspicious! I think it's an imposter. It looks like ciabatta, with the shape and the bread surface texture and powdery covering. But I don't remember ciabatta tasting completely like normal bread. At least not the one from SwissBake.
  
  Price
  
  Slightly costlier than your usual kopitiam grub (probably because it's indoors and air-conditioned?).
  
  Kaya toast : $1.20 each.
  Ciabatta toast : $1.80 each
  Orange Ciabatta : $2.20
  
  Forgot the kopi and teh costs.
  
  But the iced kopi costs $1.10, and is too sweet for my liking, although it tastes really milky.
  
  Has anyone else tried the ciabatta toast before?

  Hmmm really ah? second time leh?
  
  I also found it nice the first time I ate it, and my colleagues and I were debating whether is it marmalade or what (because someone bought it and we didn't know what it was).
  
  But today I bought it myself and it doesn't taste as good.

  I pass by that stall all the time, but never stop there before, somehow, their procedures seem fishy, but can't tell which part is.
