[Drinkit Pick] Taste Test of Four Sandwiches Ordered from Market Kurly
Full Cross-Section, Packed with Nutritious Goodness♥
Every morning, do you wake up hungry? Or do you feel hungry upon waking? What’s your choice? Personally, the editor is the latter. On the way to work, I always carry a growling hungry stomach and head to a cafe or convenience store to grab my daily sustenance. But! These days, with the hot weather and not wanting to burn any calories, I tried ordering a sandwich via delivery. Market Kurly was chosen because it’s convenient to grab a sandwich delivered early in the morning right at my doorstep and take it to work. I think the key to a sandwich is two things. First, fresh vegetables. Second, if there’s sauce, the bread shouldn’t get soggy... Determined to live a disciplined life, I tried it at the office.
Preference 1
[Shefood] B.E.L.T Sandwich (3,900 KRW)
This sandwich looks simple enough to make with leftover ingredients in the fridge. It tastes like the typical sandwich we think of and eat. It contains eggs, mayonnaise, ham, and vegetables, providing a satisfying fullness. Compared to other sandwiches, it doesn’t have a variety of fillings, and it’s a bit disappointing that it’s not tightly held together, but it feels like a simple meal substitute to fill your stomach. It feels moist, so I expected it to be a bit soggy, but it’s similar to convenience store sandwiches, so it’s not unpleasant. Eating it with milk makes it a nutritious and tasty meal. If you dislike pickles, I recommend avoiding this one.
Preference 2
[Greenbam] Carrot Rape Salad Sandwich (4,900 KRW)
The colors of romaine, carrot rape, red cabbage, and cheddar cheese beautifully harmonize, making it a refreshing breakfast substitute with great visuals. The nutty rye bread makes it even easier to enjoy without feeling heavy. When you take a big bite, you can really feel the layered texture of the romaine. Romaine has a firmer texture than lettuce, so it offers a bit more chewiness. Personally, I’m not a big fan of carrots, but since it’s carrot rape instead of raw carrot, the aroma and taste are not at all overwhelming. The included chipotle mayo sauce is spicy yet smooth, giving a unique sandwich experience.
Preference 3
[Fruitbam] Chicken Salad Pineapple Sandwich (4,900 KRW)
Between bread made with whole wheat and rye, there are chicken breast, bell pepper, romaine, and pineapple. Contrary to worries that the chicken breast might be dry, it’s very tender. Although it’s labeled as smoked chicken breast, the smoky flavor is not noticeable, which is a bit disappointing. You can feel the crisp texture and freshness of the bell pepper and romaine. Without any sweet or unique sauce, it feels purely healthy, but just when you might find it lacking, the pineapple bites burst with juice, making it tangy and sweet.
Preference 4
[Cafe Mamas] BRT Sandwich (5,500 KRW)
The BRT sandwich, named after Bacon, Rucola, and Tomato, tastes healthy just by looking at it. You can enjoy not only the three textures but also the creaminess of avocado. Among the four sandwiches tasted today, this one contains the most green vegetables, including stems, which add a crunch and a slightly bitter flavor similar to celery. You can fully enjoy the crisp texture of the fresh vegetables, indicating high freshness. It feels like it washes away the guilt from yesterday’s binge eating. Starting today, I feel like a healthier me?light and delicious.
The Life of a Sandwich!
When choosing a sandwich, the three most important things are! Whether the vegetables are fresh, whether the bread has not become soggy, and the overall balance of flavors. The four sandwiches tasted today are...
▶ Freshness : [Greenbam] & [Cafe Mamas] > [Fruitbam] > [Shefood]
▶ Sogginess : [Shefood] > [Fruitbam] > [Greenbam] & [Cafe Mamas]
▶ Flavor Balance: [Greenbam] & [Cafe Mamas] > [Shefood] > [Fruitbam]
