Think of “Seoul in a Sandwich” as “Subway” but with Korean style fillings. Thoughtfully divided into light and hearty categories, the sandwiches come in either sweet (Matcha White Chocolate, Citron Cheese & Pear) or savoury combinations.
Judging from what we got to try at this brand new takeaway kiosk in Basement 1 of the revamped Century Square Mall, the freshly made sandwiches are really tasty and very good value-for-money.
The two I liked most were the Seoul Street Toast ($6.50, pictured top right) that had onion cabbage omelette, chicken ham and sliced cheese between slices of white bread, and the Army Stew-ich ($8.50), a witty but more importantly, well-crafted take on the extremely popular Korean stew. Substantial in size, it was a ciabatta stuffed with gochujang-dressed daikon slaw, Army Stew mix (complete with tteokbokki), melted cheddar and mozzarella.
The other standout I think many meat-lovers should make a beeline for is the Bulgogi Cheesesteak (pictured top left, $8.50) which has a generous amount of the grilled sweetish sliced beef, sautéed onions and capsicums as well as two kinds of melted cheeses packed into a baguette.
“Seoul In A Sandwich” is one of two new dining concepts launched by the 35-year-old Seoul Garden Group that owns Halal-certified Korean restaurants: “Seoul Garden Buffet” and “Seoul Garden Hot Pot”. The other is “Two Hana” which is a Korean-Western café located on the ground level of the same mall. Helmed by Head Chef Jordin (who previously held the same position at “Joo Bar”), you can enjoy a wide variety of dishes, desserts and drinks that reflect the fusion of cultures there.
