Prawn katsu special

I saw this on Instagram last night and decided to hop on a train to Bexley North this morning to get my hands on Self Raised’s prawn katsu special. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint! True to their style, this sandwich just SLAPS! The prawn patty was served hot and perfectly crunchy on the outside, while the inside was juicy with a delightful bounce. The slaw was incredible, with the ponzu flavour shining through. Many shops tend to go mild when experimenting with Asian flavours, but not Self Raised—they went all in. It was a bold move, especially with the chilli. It was 🔥, and I loved it.

The milk bun also deserves a shout-out. Soft and fresh, it held everything together without getting soggy. Plus, it had a nice buttery taste that made each bite even better. The spiced cocktail sauce balanced strong flavours without being overly saucy. Every bite was a perfect blend of textures and flavours, making this sandwich an absolute standout. They’re only here for a short time, so I’d recommend you run— you won’t be disappointed!
