Hey, Faithfuls! I recently went out for dinner with my friends, and at first, when they said, “Let’s go to SANDO,” I genuinely thought we were just going to eat some fancy Japanese sandwiches. Turns out, SANDO is the name of the cafe itself—and it’s their second outlet, located conveniently near Lorong Chuan MRT Station. Just like their first space at Labrador Park, you can expect hearty sando, rice bowls, sides, and even craft beers on the menu.

BTW, all their sandwiches are priced under S$16, which is honestly quite affordable compared to other trendy sando cafes around town—looking at you, Hello Arigato.

I went for the Portobello Sando (S$14.80), and it was a mix of earthy, juicy balsamic-glazed mushrooms with a nice sweetness from the roasted red peppers. The mozzarella added a creamy, stringy layer, while the corn fritters brought in a gentle crunch. The over-easy egg and scallion emulsion rounded everything off nicely.

My friends tried the Chashu Sando (S$14.80), and I had a bite too. This one hits different. The pork belly was soft and well-braised, slightly fatty in the best way. The kimchi added a tangy, spicy punch, and the arugula balanced it out with a peppery freshness.

Then there was the Chicken Karaage Sando (S$14). Think crispy Japanese fried chicken tucked into soft bread, with coleslaw and cheddar cheese giving it that perfect mix of crunch and creaminess. The over-easy egg added some extra richness, and the kanzuri sauce gave it a spicy-savoury edge. This is the one I’d go for if I were craving fried chicken.

We also shared some sides. The Chilli Cheese Fries (S$13.50) were thin and long—think shoestring fries but crispy—with a generous topping of minced meat and cheese. It wasn’t overly spicy, just the right amount to keep me wanting to shove all those fries down my throat.

The Pan-Roasted Brussels Sprouts (S$11.80) were charred and slightly bitter, which I didn’t mind too much. They had that caramelised edge that makes them taste better than the ones you avoided as a kid.

I would seriously come back to SANDO, though it's weird that my favourite dish was actually the fries! If you want a quiet and affordable cafe that isn't too crowded, check SANDO out. Thanks for reading, and see you next post!
