little joys of life

sometimes there are little things in life that just makes you happy. when i found out they were selling roast pork sandwich at a sandwich bar below my workplace, i was really really happy.  this is because:  1. i love crackling  2. i love roast pork sandwiches ever since my experience at earl canteen  3. i work pretty much in a relatively remote area of the city and there aren't many options.  with all those reasons combined, it was like a little piece of paradise came to work.

so here i present the roast port sandwich (i am drooling as i type) with coleslaw, apple sauce, roast pork and pork crackling with avocado spread




can you see the pork crackling... yum
this was probably the best sandwich i have ever had.  now is it purely because of the taste. i have to admit i'm not too sure.  it could be all the above reasons combined and the fact that i was super hungry, but i would rate this roast pork sandwich a good 9/10.

why is this sandwich not a 10/10? i had the same sandwich a second time and it just didn't have the same balance unfortunately. so minus 1 for inconsistency.

however, compared to the earl canteen roast port baguette, this sandwich wins by a mile in my mouth.  i love how the there is so much crackling and the roast pork is so tender.  there are also good proportions of coleslaw and apple sauce to give it that good sweet taste which goes so well with roast pork.
