Y’all might scoff at us for ordering the Grilled Iberico Chorizo with Mexican Cheese ($22++) at @lumbre.sg, but sausage and cheese on bread is one of mankind’s greatest inventions. It’s right up there with the wheel, alcohol, and nuclear energy. If you disagree, go argue with the wall. Snags are an amazing appetiser, and these chorizos had us snagged real good.⠀

As the chorizo uses ground up Iberico pork, it is felicitously fatty and full of fabulous flavours. This extra juicy sausage was spicy, salty and the casing was sprightly and snappy, which are the prerequisites for a stellar sausage. Grilling the chorizo gives it an additional smokiness and oomph that it didn’t need, but is still incredibly welcome. That spicy, smoky sausage is plopped atop a small slice of crusty cheese toast, and quite liberally drizzled with nacho cheese.⠀

Cheesy, creamy, crispy, fatty, smoky, salty, and supremely satisfying, the Iberico Chorizo with Mexican Cheese is the ideal appetiser, and a sublime booze bite that goes well with every drink on Lumbre’s well curated drinks menu. My only issue with this meaty slice of heaven? There wasn’t nearly enough of it to satiate my desperate need for more of its excellence.
