Another day, another sandwich special from Small's Deli. The day before, on my way to meet my friends for bagels at Another Place (just opposite Small's Deli), my eyes caught Small's Deli's new corned beef special. The temptation was real—I almost ditched my friends to get my hands on it 😂. However, I patiently waited until the next morning to revisit Potts Point.

ARLEAN lived up to the hype! It was as delicious as ever. Admittedly, the corned beef part was a tad salty for my taste. But I suspect it's more my issue, considering my preference for plain weekday meals. My palate has become quite sensitive to saltiness. I have a feeling it would be just right for others. To balance it out, I ordered a side of pickles, which played the role of a palate cleanser beautifully and left me craving more.

In all, the ARLEAN sandwich from Small's Deli is a winner, with its delightful combination of flavours. While it might have been a touch salty for me personally, I have no doubt that it'll hit the mark for many. Pair it with some pickles for maximum yumminess.

Another visit, another sandwich.
