Ham, Cheese & Tomato Baguette

Originally, I had big lunch sandwich plans—but after a hearty egg sando in the morning, I was still feeling pretty full. That said, it was lunchtime, and I knew I wouldn’t make it through the afternoon without something.

Went for a bit of a walk through town but nothing really grabbed me. Ended up at Le Monde Coffee & Bakery, mainly because I remembered visiting Le Monde Café in Surry Hills years ago and having a great breakfast there. But I don’t think they’re the same crew—just similar names.

Ham, cheese, tomato isn’t usually my go-to (I’m not big on tomato in a sandwich unless it’s a salad sandwich or something more layered), but I was running out of time, so I grabbed it.

Unfortunately, it turned out to be a bit of a letdown. The bread was quite tough, and the filling was pretty sparse. As expected, the tomato didn’t really do it for me either. Just didn’t hit the spot.

The price was reasonable—on par with your standard café or supermarket grab-and-go—but overall, a bit of a sad choice. No joy in this one.
