Chicken sandwich

This week, I wandered down to St Peters and visited One Shot Specialty, a super friendly, cosy cafe that just opened earlier this year. Clearly, they’re already a hit in the neighbourhood because there was a steady stream of regulars popping in while I was waiting for my sandwich. Now, don’t be fooled by the simple names on the menu. Sure, they have things like Chicken Sandwich and Pastrami Melt, but these aren’t your average sandwiches. My chicken sando, for example, had a kicky Szechuan pepper blend, and the pastrami melt? It’s got gochujang sauerkraut!

Alright, let’s get to the star of the show: the chicken sando. Talk about a flavour bomb! Sweet and spicy with a kick of heat from the Szechuan pepper blend. The crumbed chicken wasn’t crunchy, but it was packed with flavour. The soft focaccia, while not house-baked (I think), was fantastic and complemented the sandwich perfectly. The cucumber added a refreshing crunch, balancing the heat nicely. The best part had to be how they harmonised all the flavours with their sauce. Absolutely delicious. A must-try!
