Garlic Chicken Sandwich, Miura Waffle Milk Bar, Vancouver

I've been hearing about these waffle sandwiches for a while, but as the waffle is never a craving for me (nor are pancakes), I have never been that curious.

Perhaps it's also a bad experience with a McGriddle, which I found far too sweet and therefore disgusting, but why would you make a sandwich out of sweet dough?

Miura, however, offers a waffle that is neither too sweet nor bland, and actually holds up to its role. Freshly made, the garlic chicken was tender and flavorful, not too heavy on the garlic, but rather, it was almost a honey garlic that paired with the fresh and crispy coleslaw. I will go back to try their bulgogi waffle sandwich.

They also have a sweet menu, which I haven't tried, as dessert sandwiches, especially with waffles, is just brunch.

Marché Hung Phat, Montréal,

I was suspicious when a vegetarian friend told me that Montréal did Vietnamese food better, and not just because she was vegetarian. I had tried first hand for myself years ago, and what I remember tasting was bland, watery, and a cruel joke. However, time moves on, and I am willing to try again, and I am glad I did. Taken a stroll up to Saint Denis, there was no shortage of banh mi options, but Carla B led me directly to Hung Phat, and being ravenous and greedy, we each ordered a tofu banh mi AND an order of salad rolls. Normally that combination should be no problem, but I was unfamiliar with the heft of Hung Phat's servings, which had a weight and density that did not compromise its deliciousness. A substantial sandwich if I ever saw one, I could barely finish the salad rolls, but of course I did. Carla B saved the rest of her sandwich for later and passed on the rolls, and I hope she does not mind me saying this publicly. Our early friendship may have been fo...

Monty’s Bakehouse wrap, Air Canada

I’d rate this wrap as strange. Its packaging created expectations of a more appetizing experience, which it was not. After a vastly superior egg salad sandwich from London Heathrow, I could not greet this airplane freebie with serious interest, but at least it was hot, and at least I could review it for this blog. Steaming contents were oozy and largely undistinguishable, but suggested some kind of red pepper or sundried tomato origins.

Pretzel Bagel Sandwich, Tim Horton's

It was not quite 5am on a Saturday morning when I ordered my breakfast bagel sandwich from Tim Horton's and noticed a pretzel bagel option. So be it, I thought. I don't ever go near a Tim Horton's unless I'm on the road, but you know what? This was pretty good. I love me a pretzel, and most street vendor pretzels are as dry as hell. This was at least moist and chewy, and came in a sandwich form!
