Le Sandwhich


Ah the sandwhich, so easy to get right, and so easy to get wrong.
I have had many sandwich experiences in my life, from the humble spring onion sandwich of primary school years to the elaborately filled sandwiches that country towns are sometimes famed for. Just so you know the spring onion sandwich was a fetish of my own that I made my mum make for me - it was all good until a girl stepped on my sandwich and told me it was still okay to eat. I threw up everywhere because the feeling of grit makes me gag.

Anyway, so a few months back my Older Brother told me about an amazing sandwich he had eaten. Thick moist chicken breast, whole egg mayonnaise (home made), and good bread. I was very keen to try it - but being me, it took me about 5 months (possibly more) to actually go there.
So last week, fresh from Japan, my fellow foodie Steph and I checked out:

Choix Creperie Cafe
Liberty La, top end of Collins St, near Southern Cross Station.

Despite being hidden away in a lane, it was pretty easy to find and we were greeted with what my brother warned me as "quick humour", they're funny people for sure! The service is good, which is a good sign for me.
We saw the sandwhiches sitting there in the window and they looked awesome!
$8.90 which is fairly reasonable.
Steph told me she had heard the crepes were good but we stuck to the sandwich that day.

I ordered a Soy Latte with mine. The coffee was okay, it wasnt bad, it wasnt great - but it was fine. And my theory tends to be that very few places that can have good coffee, good food, good service and good atmosphere/environment. This place ticked three of those boxes so I'm not complaining. Just get a juice or something if you're really picky about coffee.

SO the sandwich - it came!


There she is! beautifully done, not artificially cut into a square shape, thick but not too thick and generous with the meat!

There was also some kind of almond scattered throughout which was a really awesome touch. The mayonnaise was JUST AMAZING. LIKE WOW! I am a sucker for mayonnaise so when I taste a good one, I'm impressed!
The chicken was perfect, THICK MOIST and cooked. You need to always check your chicken is cooked because you will get sick and probably die.


I think you all know the verdict. This sandwich was a great way to swap stories of Japan and Morocco/Paris/New Zealand with my friend Steph. Very comfortable and well priced.

CHECK IT OUT!
