The taste of the Town Sandwich and grilled chicken banh mi

True to its reputation as a Jamsil sandwich spot, Town Sandwich Jamsil Branch has so many kinds of sandwiches packed with different ingredients that it was hard to pick just one, so I ended up ordering two, haha. I got the Town Sandwich, the grilled chicken banh mi (bánh mì), and a caffè latte. What makes the Town Sandwich's bread special is that it's not a tough, hard baguette — it's crisp outside and moist inside. Made fresh right after ordering, the Town Sandwich is loaded with salty jambon-beurre, cheese, and vegetables, and the combination of ingredients is fantastic; the grilled chicken banh mi's spicy chicken is a real highlight too. The portions are generous, so it makes for a satisfying, filling meal.
