Bulgogi beef sandwich

Made my way to Meet Gerard on Saturday and went straight for the Bulgogi Beef Sandwich. And boy... this was a proper meal for 9 o’clock in the morning lol.

The focaccia was really nice and airy. Don’t quote me on this, but I think it might be from Sonoma since they mention their sourdough is from there. Either way, good bread. The bulgogi itself was tender and nicely marinated with that sweet sesame soy flavour coming through. ‘ I really liked how they made the whole thing work as a sandwich too. The ssamjang aioli made it creamy and rich and gave the bulgogi a slightly more Western sandwich-y feel that worked really well with the focaccia. Then you’ve got the crunchy lettuce helping cut through all that richness a bit.

It also came with chips, although they were more like wedges, plus extra aioli on the side. I was eating the aioli thinking, ooo this is really nice and tangy... then realised ohhh, ssamjang. No wonder 😂 Couldn’t quite finish all the wedges though. Bit much for your boy at 9am.

Also had a nice big iced latte with St Ali coffee, which was really tasty.

By the end I was super full and very satisfied. This thing is probably gonna last me all day. Lovely service too. Honestly, where have I been all these years?!

Happy happy.
