Roast pork hot melt
from Taste Texture
roast pork belly, chorizo, shredded slaw, tomato salsa with cheese and BBQ sauce on toasted sourdough
After an intense BJJ class today, I was starving and looking for a quick bite. I remembered Taste Texture, a café nearby with its bright yellow vibe that my mother always visited when she was in town. They’re known for their Asian-inspired brunch, but I had no idea they also did sandwiches. A quick check confirmed it, so I dropped by, and they kindly made their Roast Pork Hot Melt for me, even though it’s usually a weekday-only option. Much appreciated, guys! 🙏
The melt was generously packed, with perfectly buttered sourdough that had a golden crunch. The sweetness of the tomato salsa really hit the spot, and the pork belly—while on the leaner side—was tender with just the right amount of crisp from the roast. The melted cheese was just right, though I wouldn’t have minded a bit more BBQ sauce to tie everything together. Overall, the flavours were great, and I left feeling fully satisfied.
