How many of you will eat bread for lunch or dinner? Not many, huh. Actually, I do have a friend who eats breads every single day for lunch. He claimed that rice wasn't a healthy option. Hence, I went to do some checking regarding their nutritional values, focusing on both calories and more importantly, fiber content.

Myth or Facts?
Calories
Plain rice 100g (175 calories)
2 slices plain bread (95 calories)
Fiber content
A slice of white bread, fiber content (0.5g)
A cup of white rice, fiber content (0.8g)
Conclusions: Bread, even plain white bread seemed to be more calories-friendly. Also, their fiber content are much more (since most people will eat more than one slice of bread at a time).
So, with that, let me introduce to you a place to eat bread, hehe.

| Freshest ingredients at the front counter. |
I happened to purchase a Groupon at O'Briens Irish Sandwich Cafe, which entitled me to their 'O'Briens Irish Sandwich Cafe Signature Classic Tripledecker Sandwich for RM7.60 instead of RM15.30' promotion.

| Another side of the front counter. There are so much of ingredients to choose from, 'rambang mata' already:) |
 |
| Fortunately, I don't need to make any choices of my own since the Groupon already stated my order, Signature Classic Tripledecker Sandwich for RM7.60 (normal price: RM15.30 promotion). Honestly, I don't know anyone who'll pay more than RM15 to eat bread! Oh, if you count properly or see them preparing the bread, this 'trippledecker' is actually JUST 2 slices of bread, albeit larger size than normal ones. Just 2 slices of bread = RM15!!! |

| Okay, price aside, how's the taste? Firstly, it's too big to sample all of it in one go. So, I had to 'compartmentalized' when eating this sandwich. The portions with tuna is nice (as in all bread with tuna also-lah), then the parts with 'greens' (vegetables) and 'reds' (tomatoes) were refreshing and crunchy. The bread itself was...just bread. And the potato chips seen littering on the plate here? I don't see their purpose at all and might even negate the 'benefits' from eating bread, right? |

Tasty Or Not?
Rating 3.5/10, not factoring the price here since it's all about the taste! Will I eat here again? Absolutely...NOT. I enjoy my home-made bread with bacon much, much more (although less healthy, hehe).
I just had this.
ReplyDeleteVery tasty! Not counting the price, the taste should be 7/10.
Actually, Tripledecker has 3 slices of bread. I eat at one go...the colesalaw part and the chicken part (it's not tuna btw!) together. If you eat them seperately... the taste is not special.
Anyway....overpriced sandwich. To O'Briens --> Slash the price by 30% and you'll get double ammount of customers!
