Grilled lemongrass chicken, bacon, asian slaw, spicy mayo on sourdough

Initially, I thought I’d head back to Berta’s again to continue working my way through their new menu. But a little change of plans, and somehow I ended up in Kensington at Cafe YS9 instead.

I went for their Club Sandwich, which sounded pretty good with lemongrass chicken, bacon and Asian slaw.

The chicken was lovely and tender, nice and juicy too. I would’ve loved a little more of that lemongrass flavour throughout the meat though, as most of it seemed to be concentrated on the outside. Still, the chicken itself was nicely cooked.

I’m also wondering if a softer or slightly chewier bread might’ve suited these fillings a little better than sourdough. And while the bacon was a nice addition, I reckon a slightly fattier cut could’ve added a little more richness. Although, to be fair, the chicken was already doing a pretty good job on its own!

Overall, a nice little sandwich. A few things I’d personally tweak to make it more to my liking, but still an enjoyable breakfast. Sometimes it’s just a matter of personal preference, and that’s all part of the sandwich adventure!
