Sandwicheese

Katipunan (extension)

Its a small new-ish resto on Katipunan just next to Banapple. It opened only January this year yet the place, is almost always packed.

Sandwicheese specializes on ooey gooey cheese sandwiches and simple salads. If you like your sandwiches big, meaty and cheesy, then this would be a great place to try out.

Entering the cafe, the place feels light and open despite its very small area. It almost feels like an american diner and the smell of sandwiches being prepared is just awesome. The tables are small though and the stools, smaller still. I imagine that it wouldn't be so comfortable eating there during rush hour. The furniture is obviously geared towards the college kids in the area. Not a good idea to bring grandma and grandpa who will need sturdier seating with back rests.

So anyway, we ordered their bestseller; the Drippin' Roast Beef Sandwicheese (P160), their Hickory Shredded Pork Sandwicheese (P160) and the House Burger Sandwicheese (P170).

Everything was great. The cheese melted right on top, the soft toasted bread brimming with meat. Yuuuum. Of everything though, we most liked the Drippin' roastbeef. It was saucy, filled with caramelized onions and topped with melted cheese. Among the best sandwiches I've ever tasted. That sandwich alone is reason enough for return visits to Sandwicheese. As for the Hickory pork, it was good though the bbq pulled pork sandwich at Chocolate Kiss is much better in my honest opinion. And the house burger? It was good and hearty. The meat patty was almost an inch thick and was absolutely tender. A good honest-to-goodness burger, but again, I've tasted better elsewhere.

On the side, we had their Salsa & Cheese Nachos (P80); also hearty and a deal for 80 pesos, and their Dalandan Passion Slush (P80). I thought that the slush was okay. Too sweet for my taste but a thirst quencher on a hot day.

All in all, Sandwicheese is a great place to try out especially if you're craving for that perfect cheese sandwich. Pricewise, its very competetive and taste is awesome as well. A definite reco for me.
