The Butterscotch Chronicles

Based on a true story, again.

Friday, 10 Apr 2009

Met up with friends for lunch at Pelita restaurant near KLCC. Suddenly the topic of bread came about, and Ram said this particular bread is a hot favourite at Cold Storage in KLCC. Every morning people will queue up near the bakery section just to grab their favourite Butterscotch bread. And Yoga had his share of the stories on the legendary Butterscotch at Petronas.

I was at a sports event for children and guess what… They had Butterscotch bread for teatime. “The children love this bread, so we have to limit 2 per person,” said Mrs. Tan, sternly to one of the volunteers. My mind was solving some simple equations about Butterscotch bread by now.

Back to office and was upstairs at the photostat area, and I saw Butterscotch breads on every table at the purchasing department.

I asked them, “Is that Butterscotch?”

One of them replied, “You mean you haven’t tasted Butterscotch?
We can’t live without it.”

The urge was intense. I came back down to my department and sat down at my desk.
The door opened and in came the tea lady pushing a trolley. To my utter horror – it was Butterscotch bread lined up neatly on a plate!

I was chatting with a friend online, about random things. She was telling me about how boring the office was. Then she typed the magical sentence, “If only I don’t have my Butterscotch at my desk, I will die here out of boredom and hunger.”

“You mean, you mean the one… the bread, Butterscotch?” I stammered.
“Yup! My favourite.”

It was a clear sign by now.

Four separate incidents, four separate testimonies.

Either it was an evil plot against me by Gardenia’s marketing department
or they have a great product injected with some magic formula out there.

Butterscotch – here I come!
