Amazing! Will return for more, but it might have moved/ closed shop already
Original and Strawberry had all run out when we went at around 8pm so I decided to try out the Matcha Cheese Toast! ($3.80)
Took a big bite and was not disappointed by how stretchy the cheese was. (You’ll definitely be able to take lots of cute cheese pull photos 😉) The Cheese is creamy and sweet, probably because it’s made from Hokkaido Milk.
For me, I couldn’t taste the matcha taste at all as it was overshadowed by the cheese. The bread is also slightly dry as I found myself really thirsty after eating this. However, it was still pretty good and I’ll go back again to try it out in different flavours!
Finally had the much raved about Hokkaido Cheese Toast from Say Chiizu at Artbox Singapore 2018. It really does live up to its hype, with the buttery and crumbly toast sandwiched between a molten layer of rich and milky cheese that stretches on forever.

We’ve seen many instagrammers flock to this place to capture that picture-perfect cheese pull, and heard about it in reviews - so does it live up to its hype? Nah.
This stall currently gives you 4 options for your toast: Original, Chocolate, Charcoal, and Matcha.
At $3.80 a slice, it’s pretty pricey given its portion. Surprising to us, the toast was on sweet side, when we expected a savoury taste. We went for the Charcoal toast - the toast itself was crispy, but a tad too buttery for our liking (we saw them slathering heaps of butter on it). The cheese itself which should be the star of a cheese toast - was disappointing. It was too sweet and flat (with a semblance of condensed milk) and too chewy (like gum), which leaves you missing the melt-in-your-mouth experience of a good cheese toast which unveils the distinct taste profile of the cheese bit by bit.
So while it’s fun to see how far you can stretch your cheese, it probably doesn’t stretch your dollar. You’d probably get a better cheese toast elsewhere :/ It hits the sweet spot, just not the cheese spot.
Overall rating: 2.5/5

Not worth trying. The toast texture was great and savoury. However, the cheese flavour was too subtle and its stretchy texture made it hard to eat.
Also, we were excited to try out this cheese toast until greeted by the unwelcoming crew.
Thought there was a hype surrounding this sandwiches. No queue for me, but sure was one stringy creamy sandwich with a touch of sweetness 4.25/5
