Parma ham with stracciatella, basil pesto and tomatoes on house made focaccia

Quick one to round off my Bangkok sandwich run. On paper, this sounded like a sure thing — parma ham, pesto, tomatoes, focaccia. All classics.

Flavour-wise, it was good. Salty parma, herby pesto, fresh tomato, and that airy, chewy focaccia doing what it does best. The only thing that threw me off was the stracciatella. A bit too watery, which turned into a drippy situation real fast and took away from the overall enjoyment.

I think this would’ve worked better with a slightly firmer cheese so everything stayed in place. Still a solid sandwich, and honestly, having a decent sandwich spot this close to home in Bangkok already feels like a win.

Not to mention, Common Saladaeng also houses my favourite ice cream shop, @gussdamngood. Sandwich first, ice cream after. If you’re ever in Bangkok, do this combo.

Another visit, another sandwich.
