Create My Own Sandwich @ O’Briens

Finally I am back after 3 days of silence, well it has been a busy week for me with work and also KL Fashion Week. And the after work traffic is getting into my nerves arghhh... Anyway put that aside, so today I am going to kick start with some healthy, hearty and wholesome meal to cheer me up and keep me going. I need energy! What should I eat? Perhaps some sandwiches and salad… well last weekend I create my own sandwich at O’Briens Irish Sandwich Cafe, Publika Solaris Dutamas.

Ok back to my sandwich making session, it’s quite simple just 3 steps. First step is to choose the bread. Well their breads are baked with specially formulated Irish recipe. There are white bread, wholemeal bread, ciabatta, multigrain, wrappo, wholemeal shamboo and focaccia shambo in the shape of the Shamrock. The Shamrock is the epitome of Ireland and represents good luck thus it is closely associate to O’Briens.

I love the aroma of freshly baked bread and decided on the focaccia shambo. Feel like eating the bread it on its own but with fillings, salads and sauces will definitely heighten then appetite. The next step is to choose the filling hmm… I am spoil of choices. 

The fillings, salads and sauces

These are the main fillings to choose from egg, egg mayo, chicken, chicken mayo, chicken slice, chicken crisp, chicken sausage, mild spicy herbs, volcanic chicken, piri-piri chicken, turkey, beef, tuna, tuna mayo, smoke salmon, cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, mozzarella cheese, brie cheese, feta cheese and parmesan cheese.

These are many types of salads and sauces to choose from such as peppers, onion, sweetcorn, black olives, croutons, pine nut, walnut, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, lollo rosa, lollo bionda, watercress, sundried, roasted brinjal, zucchini and coleslaw. The sauces available includes basil pesto, cream cheese, honey mustard, aran island, ballymaloe, ceasar dressing, italian, cranberry, guacamole and houmous.

My choice of bread, fillings, salads and cheese

Here are my choices I like smoke salmon, chicken slice, swiss cheese and for salad are roasted zucchini, lettuce, mixed peppers. Basil pesto is my favourite sauce.

Let's start to create my own sandwich

After choosing all the ingredients let's start. First cut the bread into half, spread the basil pesto on 1 side, arranged the fillings and salad layer by layer and lastly topped with the cheese make sure it covers all the sides of the bread. Then toast it in the oven for 50 seconds to melt the cheese. Then cut into half.

My sandwich creation

Tadah it’s done! All the ingredients are fresh and I can now enjoy my own sandwich creation with a cup of latte. Aummm… best and healthy meal for any time of the day. So do you like sandwich?
