Technically speaking, sandwiches are the literal bread and butter of a quick and tasty meal. So incredibly simple its idiot-proof formula, two slices of bread enveloping the deliciousness one has decided to stuff in-between it. The caveat in the crunch is that if done poorly (one can only slap cheese and ham together so many times), resembles the sad breakfast of a Secondary School student or a dishevelled University goer. When done right however, the best sandwiches are not just a snack. It is the whole damn meal. A fact that these restaurants have considered in when crafting some of the best sandwiches in Singapore: guaranteed to expand one’s waistline and even better, travels well should he opt for delivery.
