Mun-Chi, Damansara Utama

I am a sucker for sandwiches. Especially those pretty Wanpaku Sando sandwiches. They are thick and eye catching and I simply cannot resist.

So I broke the rules again to try this sandwich cafe - Mun-Chi (next door to The Ship).

The above photo was taken weeks earlier when I was on my walkabout in Damansara Utama/Uptown.

I walked over at slightly past 12:00pm and when I entered the premises, one gentleman was waiting for his takeaway order while at another table, three customers were waiting for their dine-in orders.

So I went to the counter (you can also order via QR code) to order the Australian Beef and a Latte. Since they have a set lunch promotion (just pay for the sandwich, drink and hashbrown is free), my meal came with a hashbrown.

I noted on the receipt that my coffee (latte) was itemized as "long black add milk" which was RM2.00 extra meaning I paid RM20.90 (RM18.90 + RM2.00). 

So I took a seat and waited for my order.

After a while, I got up and snapped some photos.

The gentleman and the patrons at the other table were still waiting for their orders.

Then a couple walked in, placed their orders and took a table close to mine.

Finally (it was quite a wait) the orders to the table with three diners came slowly while the gentleman received his packed order.

I understand that this type of sandwich is a pain to make. It takes time and some skills. Oh ya, I have made these sandwiches before and I can tell you that I would gladly pay someone else to prepare them for me.

I waited forever some 17 minutes and then noted that the couple (who came later than I did) were served their sandwich first. Now, one of my pet peeves at a restaurant is people who came after me being served first.

So I stood up to remind the server about my order and she waved at me to signal that my order was coming.

So there you go. Sandwich, hashbrown and coffee served on a cute tray.

The beef is a patty (like a burger) and tasted very beefy. And then there is a fried egg, shredded purple cabbage and lettuce with some mayo. The bread is lightly toasted. I was happy with my sandwich.

I was not too keen on the hashbrown but since it is included in the meal, I ate it.

I was pleased that it was very crispy and made for a nice snack.

Oh ya, you are provided with a pair of plastic gloves because eating the sandwich could be messy with fillings spilling out (but that did not happen).

I removed the lid from the coffee cup (after sipping) because I find it difficult to drink from the sippy thingy. The coffee is ordinary, don't expect cafe quality.

Overall, with the exception of the waiting time (I wonder how they cope on busy days) and quality of coffee, I would say that the sandwich though not extraordinary, is pretty decent and if you are fan of sandwiches, it is worth dropping by.
