Golden slices of toast rest in the center of a decorative plate, its azure shade a soft foil for the toast. A small lump of butter sits in the middle of the top most slice of toast, slowly melting and mixing with the sticky sweet syrup poured over all. The aroma of klah hangs in the air above the plate, treating one to a preview of what the toast will taste like.
