Hot Honey Morty Focaccia

Today I had plans to check out The Cipher Room’s latest escape room, Metamorphosis, with a group of friends. For those who don’t know, The Cipher Room makes the best escape rooms in Sydney, hands down. Seriously, they’re beyond good.

Anyway, since Sandwhich was so close by, I made it our pre-game sandwich stop. I’ve been meaning to come back ever since I had their Crispy Chicken Nanban, which was ridiculously good. Sooo, here we are again.

This time I went for the Hot Honey Morty. Because... hot honey lol. And hmm... it was pretty good, but also a little standard? Don’t get me wrong, everything tasted nice together. The mortadella, creamy stracciatella, pesto and that sweet kick from the hot honey all worked well, but nothing really stood out to me like the Crispy Chicken Nanban did.

I also stole a little sambal chilli from my friend’s sandwich to try with it, thinking maybe it’d give it a little extra something. But nope 😂 It actually cancelled out the hot honey flavour, which was pretty much the star of this sandwich. Luckily I only tried it on one bite, then left the rest alone.

The focaccia didn’t particularly wow me either. It was fine, but nothing memorable. Overall, a pretty good sandwich, just not one that got me particularly excited.

Maybe the Crispy Chicken Nanban set the bar a little too high, but if I’m back again, I think I’ll just go straight for that one. That’s where the real gold is.
