Tai Tai Box

Tried the Kaya French Toast with cheese which was better than I expected. Also tried the fish siu mai which was decent quality. I was a little disappointed they don’t do seafood anymore but at least they have a variety of snacks and hot meals. The young lady working there was very polite and friendly. 3.5 stars for overall value and quality of food. I would go back to try their chicken wings and skewers.

Tai tai means wife or a formal way of addressing a married woman. Tai tai box I presume means lunch boxes that a tai tai prepares. Trying to go for that homey feels.
This small restaurant is the perfect place to grab a snack after my facial. Especially since I miss having kaya toast from Singapore! We ordered the kaya French toast with cheese and a cold milk tea, which were delicious! Definitely satisfied my crazy craving, and will be back for more kaya in the future. Staff were very courteous, attentive and friendly.

My colleague found this new snack spot which has a great selection of rice boxes, noodles, fried chicken, French toast and sandwiches. Prices are reasonable and food is tasty. I had both the Egg and Luncheon meat sandwich and the HK style milk tea (which was Soo good even without any sugar) for $ 3.99. For dessert, I had a sesame and coconut toast for $ 2.69. I am pretty full now and can probably skip dinner. Definitely would like to try one of their rice boxes next time like the Teriyaki eel or the Korean style beef! Yum! From the prices I see on their take out menu, nothing seems to be over $ 5.99. I think they close early as in 6pm, so hurry and try it out during the day. :)

Located in the plaza at Midland and Micnicoll, Tai Tai is a take out joint that is easy to miss if you’re not really looking for it. This is kind of a shame in my opinion since they offer great deals for fresh oysters (ex. $ 5 for 6 Raspberry Point) and fresh seafood in general like a large slab of raw salmon, and octopus tentacles! I went in to look around, and the lady working there was really nice and suggested the sashimi bento box which the chef has just prepared (there are items that are already made, but you can also order items to be made for you). So for 8.99, I get a pretty big sashimi bento (which include sweet shrimp, tuna, white tuna, salmon, octopus and saba sashimi, rice, clam salad, and pickled radishes) which also comes with a miso soup and garden salad. The bento was fantastic (especially for the price) and the sashimi were sooo fresh and delicious with the highlight being the salmon sashimi. Will definitely return to try some of their other cooked items!
Only caveat is, the lady’s english isn’t the best (ok for me since I speak chinese), BUT if you’re just going to order and leave it should be ok. Just don’t attempt lengthy english conversation.
PS. Free green tea when waiting for your food! They also sell random japanese goodies (kind of like a convenience store) like ramune and japanese mayo!

I doubt I will ever has a Tai Tai (
) to prepare any bento box for me as lunch. However, Tai Tai Box maybe the closest thing I would experienced!
Tai Tai Box ($ 8.99) was made when ordered: the deep fried items (Gillette Shrimps and Takoyaki) were all fresh and not oily at all! Side Salad and Miso Soup on the side.
Good as a take out or if you prefer to eat in, there is a little counter with 4 bar stools for your dine in pleasure.
Staff is so friendly and cheerful and even ask me to have a cup of green tea while I wait for me food.
I will be back! They even serves fresh shucked oysters (40 cents each extra for labour) or you can just buy them to shuck at home!
