Risky Brisket

This week, I swung by MLK Deli (Myra’s Little Kitchen) — the latest sensation in Surry Hills, flaunting its electrifying blue and yellow colours. And guess what? Another sandwich joint sporting that same bright blue vibe has just opened nearby, and it’s next on my hit list. How fabulous is that? This year has been an absolute blast with all the new sandwich spots popping up!

On to the sandwich: it hit perfection. The highlight was definitely the smoked brisket, thinly sliced for a unique twist. It captured the smoky essence and tenderness I love, akin to hotpot beef. It struck a perfect balance with minimal sauce, keeping it light and vibrant. The chewy ciabatta and just-right Swiss cheese were fantastic complements. The side of salt and vinegar chips not only brilliantly refreshed the palate but also brought a wave of nostalgia, reminding me of my high school days when grabbing a bag from the school tuckshop was my daily ritual.

Honestly, I’ve been handing out 10s like non-stop, but the sandwiches these days have made me super happy!
