Mortadella

It’s been a minute since I last visited Australian Meat Emporium, and I didn’t realise they’d given the café a full glow-up. I’m flying home soon and trying to finish what’s left in my fridge, so no meat-buying today — just a quick sandwich stop.

I considered the steak sandwich, but felt like focaccia, so I went with the mortadella. One thing I always wonder at regular cafés (not dedicated sandwich spots) is how they decide whether to toast something or not when they don’t ask. It’s like a mystery rule book only they know. Here they didn’t ask — straight to toasted it went.

It was a pretty standard café sando. Not bad at all — solid amount of mortadella, nice creamy stracciatella. The focaccia was… fine. Nothing offensive, nothing amazing, just okay. It did the job, but wasn’t something I’d rave about or dream about later.

Still, a decent, easy eat.
