Mélone

Back at Delisia again. It’s honestly one of the most convenient sandwich spots for me since it’s so close to my gyms. Weekends have been stacked this year, so I haven’t had the luxury to wander off and try all the spots on my ever-growing list. One day. I promise.

Today’s pick was the Mélone. No idea why I’ve skipped this before. Maybe the menu is just too tempting and my eyes get distracted every time.

I know I’ve been all about ciabatta lately, but coming back to focaccia here reminded me why I rate it. Super soft, nicely chewy, and not soaked in oil. It felt light and fresh, which was perfect since I was heading into training after.

Now let’s talk about this combo because she is elegant. Prosciutto, stracciatella, rockmelon and honey. It sounds bougie and yes, it behaves bougie.

The prosciutto had that delicate salty edge and silky texture that anchors everything. The stracciatella was creamy but not overloaded, just enough to add richness without turning it heavy. Then the rockmelon and honey bring this clean sweetness that cuts through the salt beautifully. And the rocket at the end gives that subtle peppery finish so it doesn’t lean too sweet. Balanced, simple, clever.

I was heading straight into training after this so I didn’t want anything that would sit like a brick. This felt light but still filling. The kind of sandwich where you finish it and go, that was clever.

Also, melon in a sandwich. I rated this hard 🍈
