Prosciutto

This one was a little unexpected. I went to Carriageworks Markets to grab some bread this morning and somehow ended up walking all the way to Newtown just because I felt like walking 😂

Then I remembered the Tokyo Lamington team had opened a sandwich shop next door. Checked Google and luck was on my side, they opened from 9 am. I was literally the first customer of the day lol.

I had looked up the menu beforehand and was hoping to try the mortadella because the honey lemon whipped ricotta sounded right up my alley. Unfortunately, I think the menu has changed, so I had to improvise. The three chilli icons next to the prosciutto caught my eye, so I went with that instead. You also get a choice of bread here, and I opted for focaccia.

The sandwich arrived pretty quickly with a nice-looking cross section and a generous layer of prosciutto. Bread was good too, a little dense and chewy. Flavour-wise it was quite simple. I got plenty of prosciutto and tomato pesto, but surprisingly not much chilli oil. With three chilli icons I was expecting at least a little heat, but honestly there was pretty much none.

Still, it was a nice hefty sandwich that kept me full through a 2.5-hour workout. A good sandwich overall, just much milder and less punchy than I expected.
