Dave (DYoung) and I headed out for lunch sometime August and he brought me to this quaint little sandwich shop beside the F7 building in Scout Rallos. He was mindful that I was trying to avoid rice and suggested that sandwiches were just the perfect alternate eating route. Dave ordered two sandwiches which we split between the two of us. Every sandwich comes with Crisps and Coleslaw, or soup for Four Cheese sandwich meal, which Dave surrendered to me. I enjoyed lunch that day and a few days ago, decided to bring dee boss JAD to try the restaurant.
I was slightly stress eating last Thursday and ended up ordering three sandwiches and an extra soup to share between us.
On the Table
The Cubano Cebuano Php 290
Authentic Pan Cubano with Lechon drizzled in its own drippings amongst ham, cheddar cheese, and their signature aioli. They threw in some lechon skin and pickled green and yellow mangoes.
This is Mr. Graham’s local take on the “Cubano” which was popularized by the Chef movie. It’s Cebuano since they use thinly sliced lechon as the highlight basted on its own glistening drippings and slapped with ham and cheddar cheese on authentic pan Cubano smeared with the house aioli. Don’t be surprised to hear a crunch since they added the lechon skin for good measure. It’s so rich and savory but balanced by the sweetness and acidity of the pickled green and yellow mangoes.

Four Cheese, Bacon Please Php 250
Mozzarella, Cream Cheese, and Cheddar kept company with beer-n-onion-bacon-jam, then lightly Frico’s with Parmesan. Frico is when they fry the cheese on the bread to a nice crisp.
The first time was awesome but I wished there were more burnt cheese on the bread the second time around. I was looking for those nice little, almost quiet, crunches on the side when you bite into the sandwich and sharper saltier taste that contrasts with the delicious semi-sweet onion bacon jam.
