Toasteria Cafe
We were near Zhongxiao-Dunhua and considered getting take-away pizza from Alleycats on the way home, but it would've been quite a wait for the pie to bake. Instead we got a couple of panini-pressed sandwiches from the Toasteria Cafe next door. It's squeezed into a tiny space less than 10-ping, but they managed to coordinate an combinatorical array of panini sandwiches featuring traditional Italian and nouveau Asian fillings. A copper-clad bar adds a touch of permanence and class to what otherwise would be a hole-in-the-wall, allowing a handful of patrons to eat-in. But we were happy to take our tomato-basil-mozzarella and BBQ-chicken sandwiches with us to enjoy at home. It's kinda between two MRT stations so it's not as convenient as one might hope, but an unconventional and fresh option for quick-eats is quite welcome.
