Tropical Leg Ham

Another budget-friendly sandwich spot in Alexandria—sandwiches start from just $6 here. I went for one of their “gourmet” options, which basically means it comes a bit more loaded. Still, only $8.50 for this one. Not bad at all.

I picked the Tropical Leg Ham on white bread—pretty unique combo with big chunks of pineapple layered in. You also get to pick your bread (white, wholemeal, Turkish, or baguette) for just 50c extra.

The sandwich itself wasn’t anything fancy, but everything tasted fresh. The pineapple definitely stood out flavour-wise—mostly because it was the strongest thing I could taste—not necessarily because it was amazing. The creamy avocado came through next, while the ham stayed pretty quiet in the background. Tomato added a bit of tang, and the cheese gave it some mild richness.

Simple, not mind-blowing, but it did the job and kept me fuelled before my morning BJJ sesh.
