This location caught my eye as I happened to have three uncles. . .
My visit was made on a Sunday around 11pm. My uncle (the last of the three) and I were the only patrons through the time we were there. The employee that attended to us was patient and quite enthusiastic about the items they were selling.
I want something hearty to eat and decided on the cheese sausage lava toast (7.99). The base of the sandwich was a quick bread, and looks like an iron press was used to make it. Sausage was like an Eckrich type, but not as salty. The cheeses used were kind of weird: the white shredded cheese did not melt. What’s more perplexing is the yellow cheese that did melt reminded me of the processed cheese product used in Kraft’s Handi Snacks. Now I haven’t eaten that stuff in over twenty years, but I know that pasty feel when it enters your palate. Overall, pretty good.
I also had a Thai tea (4.99) to go with it as well. It came in those hard plastic cups with a lid. I did notice the cup was filled to the brim with ice after drinking all the contents. If I go back, I would make sure to get at most half ice. It is quite irritating, and I should be vigilant. A lot of places do this.
Next, I wanted to get something for the house. While heading to the display on the wall, I just chose the one that caught my eye. I ended up getting the Dried Meat Floss Toast (7.99). The employee offered to slice the hunk of bread and toast them. I ended up only asking it to be sliced as I didn’t know when I would eat it.
I tried a slice of the bread a couple hours later. There was a decent amount of meat floss in the bread. The taste of the bread itself was light and slightly sweet, not too strong in wheat if that is such a thing. Biting into it was kind of an experience: it felt like biting into a sheet of fibreglass insulation.
Now I do not mean that in a negative way. Let me elaborate, the bread felt like it was hissing when bit upon. Much like when you press your hands against those pink strands of insulation. As a result, if was a hearty but manageable chew, which I did enjoy.
Overall, I did like the place despite the pricing being a bit high in my opinion. The main draw for me will be the bread
