After a few trips to the Subway restaurant which just opened near our home, we decided to save some money and make our own Subway sandwiches. Yes, sandwiches! Not underground tunnel crossings..
At first , we had to find the six inch bread and all the ingredients needed. After 4 hours and 2 supermarkets, we settled for a wholemeal bread from Carrefour. It was not a bit like the Subway bread but it will do. Finding the fresh vegetables for the salad was easy. Next we had to look for the zucchini and olive pickles. Found the olives at Jusco but no zucchini.
At Subway, there are 6 types of dressing available, so we hunted the supermarket aisles for mustard, barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, olive oil, vinegar and chilli sauce.
As for the meat filling, we were lucky to find that a few local chicken processing factories have come up with chicken luncheon meat that is not too salty and quite cheap too.
At home, Zaty assembled the ingredients and prepared the sandwich ala Subway. Our version of Subway sandwiches did not let us down.
The ingredients that we bought lasted for a whole week of healthy sandwiches. The same amount of money would have been enough for just one trip to the Subway restaurant.
We have also added tuna to our sandwich menu. Our next trip will be to the Cold Storage supermarket to look for authentic mustard sauce and salad dressings.
