12. Pork Belly Mantou

12. Pork Belly Mantou

Here's a first, had to make my own rolls for this one. Quite good fun actually and despite being nervous at having to steam them, they really work with the caramelised pork belly and spring onions. A slightly surprising success.     8/10

10. Mexican Torta

10. Mexican Torta

Basically this is mashed avocado, topped with fried chorizo, topped with tomato salsa and then a layer of refried beans. All served in a baguette, it was an issue keeping all of the filing in but the taste was lovely. The chilli heat and spiciness of the chorizo was offset by the salsa and lime. Tasty genuinely Mexican and despite the messy looking picture, was a lovely sandwich.     8/10

9. Katsu Sando

9. Katsu Sando

A pork chop without the bone deep fried in Panko breadcrumbs and served with shredded white cabbage and Tonkatsu sauce that I made myself. A Japanese style sandwich, verged on the glorious although the bread fell apart somewhat. Loved the sauce that gave it a nice little kick and the pork was fabulously crunchy giving the sandwich a great texture.        8/10
