Atsuyaki Tamago Cheese Katsu Sando

Gotta admit, I’m not the biggest fan of office days—but they’re a solid excuse to hunt down good sandwiches in the city. I’ve been to Matcha-Ya in Darling Square before for their matcha, but I didn’t realise they also do sandos. As soon as I saw it, I was sold.

I went with the Atsuyaki Tamago Cheese Katsu, and it tasted just as good as it looked. The crumbed egg wasn’t exactly crispy, but it still added a nice texture and made the sandwich feel a bit more special. Thick and gently fried, it had that sweet-savoury tamago flavour inside, with a soft, delicate bite. The cheese added a creamy layer, the cabbage gave a fresh crunch, and the sauce—creamy and rich—brought it all together. The shokupan was a little firmer than other spots, but still soft enough to enjoy every bite.

More days in the office means more sandwich missions in the city. Not the worst trade-off.
