Babi Guling sando

I’ve been meaning to check out Ada’s Affair in Glebe for ages, but seeing @sydney.sando ‘s post last night sealed the deal. If I’ve got it right, only their Glebe spot serves up these Indonesian fusion sandwiches 🇮🇩, and I was super intrigued to try one. Not gonna lie, I didn’t really know what to expect since I’m not all that familiar with Indonesian dishes. Initially, I thought it might be like a saucy pork curry, but it actually had more of a satay vibe — aromatic with that distinctive SE Asian flair. The matah aromatics added a light, zesty kick, while the Glebe Lamar salad brought a touch of freshness to balance things out. The pork belly was surprisingly lean, and I loved that they let you control the sweetness with that hot honey on the side. And let’s talk about that focaccia — pressed and super crunchy.

Overall, a nice, light sandwich with good flavours. I think a bit more salt to balance the honey would’ve taken it up a notch, or maybe even a hint of cheese. Who knows. It’s definitely a unique sandwich, and I’m pretty keen to try some of their other creations too.
