These sandos look deceivingly simple yet they are bursting with flavors. Each portion comes with six pieces. Esoraโs sandos are filled with breaded and deep-fried cutlets of meat or tamago and slathered with a Japanese tartare sauce (homemade mayo, egg, pickles, and balsamic vinegar) and topped with shredded cabbage.
I ordered the ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐, ๐ฑ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ท๐๐๐, ๐พ๐๐๐๐ ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, and ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. My two favorites are the Japanese Pork and Tamagoyaki (โญ๏ธ4.5/5) followed by the Angus Beef and Wagyu Croquette (โญ๏ธ4/5). The Tamagoyaki was the crowdโs favorite. The egg itself was sweet and so fluffy. The pork katsu is crispy yet juicy and the shiso leaf elevates the flavor.
I had the Spring menu which continues to amaze me with their presentation, cooking, and decoration. Esora is probably the only restaurant in Singapore that goes the extra mile to decorate its dishes. Pictured is their signature dish the ๐ญ๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐๐.
I enjoyed the menchikatsu sando! Itโs basically a soft fluffy potato croquette with specks of minced beef inside. And the standard sandwich topping of shredded lettuce and egg Mayo.

Overall my main gripe (apart from the price and size) is that the sando toppings are all pretty similar and so despite ordering 4 sandos, it tasted all somewhat homogenous. The sandwiches are all pleasant and I donโt dislike them, but I donโt think they warrant all the praises theyโve gotten. That said, I still want to dine in at Esora!
The tamago sando is not bad. It isnโt really anything life changing. Thereโs fluffy panko-crusted tamagoyaki and the same shredded lettuce egg mayo combi like in every sando. Delicious but not really a must try.
