Korean fried chicken sandwich

Had to grab a quick bite before heading off to catch some Sydney Fringe Festival shows (which, if you haven’t been, you should—heaps of fun and such a good way to support local artists). Anyway, back to the sandwich.

Zenius is a cozy little café in Chippendale. Funny thing—I don’t think there are actually that many sandwich spots in the area. If you know any, I’m super keen for recommendations.

I went with their KFC, aka Korean fried chicken sandwich. It’s one of their pre-made options, but they toasted it up for me so it came out warm with a nice crunchy crust. The chicken itself was tender and tasty, though being pre-made then reheated meant it leaned a bit oily. Flavour was on the milder side—not as punchy as I expected. The pickled cabbage, cucumber, and mayo gave it that creamy, crunchy coleslaw-like vibe, though I wouldn’t call the mayo spicy.

Not the most memorable sandwich I’ve had lately, but still a decent feed in a cozy spot—and I’ve got a feeling the real stars here are probably their brunch dishes.
