A taro fan through and through, I had been to Suukee Coffee on two separate occasions for their popular Orh Nee toasts. I enjoyed their OG Orh Nee Toast on the first visit, though I found it a little mild tasting, so I went back for a taste of the other variants.

Packed with a decently thick pat of butter, the Orh Nee Butter Toast ($3.80) was pretty satisfying to bite into. The butter added that pleasant decadence as the filling itself was smooth, creamy, none too sweet, and just relatively light in yam flavour with gentle aromatic hints of coconut. For me, the buttery taste can come off a tad strong but complementary overall with the toasted sliced bread.

If you’re looking for something more savoury, the Orh Nee Pork Floss Toast ($4.20) was a fascinating pairing. With a fairly generous amount of floss, the fun combo felt more substantial and richer in taste with the pronounced meaty flavour. Rather umami, all in all. There was a nice mix of textures too; the slightly sweet velvety orh nee paste and cotton-like seasoned pork floss.
