Happy New Year dear readers! I would
like to thank everyone for the continuous support and for taking the time to
read my blog posts. I thought that it was just fitting for my first post of the
year to be about a newly opened food joint that does delicious sambos. Some of
you may have noticed the serious sandwich invasion in my instagram posts
lately. Sandwiches are simple yet the creativity that goes into making
different kinds is limitless.
A few weeks ago, chef Mike Eggert posted
a menu and sandwich photo on instagram from a new joint in Surry Hills called Lucky Pickle. As soon as chef Mike gave
the sandwiches his thumbs up, chocolatesuze and I made plans to visit ASAP.
This humble shop with a welcoming vibe is run by a lovely rad couple. Rash and Anna are passionate about
creating mind blowing sandwiches.

| Pork belly sandwich |
We started with the pork belly, duck liver pâté, pickled carrot, pickled daikon, cucumber,
mayo and sambal sandwich ($10). This baguette is their amazing take on the
classic banh mi. The highlights in this sanga were the tender pork belly slices
and the flavoursome duck liver pâté. This was an instant hit with my taste
buds.
 |
| Beef brisket sandwich |
The beef
brisket sandwich ($10) was also nothing short of excellent. It was a panini
with tender and juicy beef brisket, melted provolone, watercress, pickles and
mustard. The provolone cheese gave the sandwich a nice sharp flavour and a nice
texture that complimented the beef. The gorgeous pickles on the other hand gave
a nice balance to the whole sandwich.
 |
| Chicken katsu sandwich |
It was hard to resist the chicken katsu sandwhich ($10). It had fried
chicken after all! It also consists of cabbage, sesame, mayo and tonkatsu
sauce. The chicken katsu had a nice crisped crumbed layer and succulent tender
chicken. The chicken katsu worked well with the rest of the other fillings especially the
tonkatsu sauce. It was like heaven in a baguette. I was left speechless with
every bite.
Lucky Pickle delivers non-complicated
sandwiches with superb taste. The menu is kept minimal and they do not hold
back on quality. The flavour combinations are brilliant and I cannot wait to
get my hands on more of their sandwiches. Lucky Pickle will return to trading
from the 6th of January 2014 onwards!
