Hadn't been back to The Lokal for brunch in a while and they had since refreshed their menu. This Grilled Mortadella Ciabatta fits smaller appetites that crave for meats — it's a pretty compact sandwich that sees Kale, Cheese, Mortadella (an Italian sausage) and Onion Jam in between crisp Ciabatta bread grilled. The Mortadella carries flavours reminiscent of luncheon meat; a very comforting flavour especially given how this tasted exceptionally clean without being overly briny and salty — in fact, it's so clean it leaves no aftertaste. The cheese is all satisfying, giving the pull desired in cheese sandwiches without being overly cheesy (after all, this ain't a grilled cheese sandwich) while the kale gives it a good balance with some greens in between the cheese and meat. Certainly one of those sandwiches I wouldn't mind eating even if I am craving something lighter than a full-sized sandwich.
