⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
Luncheon meat, gribiche which is supposed to be egg mayo + mustard + pickles + capers, and cheddar, between two slices of toasted brioche. It was one of my favourites from their previous outlet. But a small imperfection this time, I did find the luncheon meat a little salty, and the characteristic tang of the gribiche which could have balanced it was absent. Still enjoyed it a lot though! Very delicious.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
Delicious with crispy toasted sourdough and loved the kick from the pickled jalapeños! Very filling and one entire tuna melt would be enough for my lunch. The crowd on Saturday comes in just after 11am, but thankfully their cooking time has sped up since their days at Cross St.

I waited for approx 1h during weekday lunch. The sandwich consists of cheese, luncheon meat and egg mayo. The bread was toasted so it was reallt crispy. The portion of egg mayo was really generous too. The egg mayo sort of balance out the saltines from luncheon meat. I would recommend to share as it may get jelat. Will come back again!

And for the perfect snack, ordering their signature brioche donuts is a must. The unanimous pick was the airy Honey | Sea Salt Donut ($5.50). Better than most glazed donuts, the sweet-salty combination was a win (though I didn’t really get the taste of honey) and there is even a mild cinnamon flavour.

Similarly, the Cinnamon Sugar | Whipped Maple Butter Donut($5.50) was superbly fluffy and soft with a beautiful spiced flavour. The Lemon Curd ($5.50) filled donut was wonderfully zesty and sweet too.

Loaded sandwiches and yummy brioche donuts for breakfast! Excited for their return, I simply had to drag my colleagues to try Korio’s classic sammies and more, at their new dine-in space in IOI Central Boulevard Towers.

A fan-favourite, the Breakfast Sandwich ($15) was as good as I remembered. The creamy, piquant Gribiche paired with crisp luncheon meat and melty Cheddar, packed between lovely Brioche slices. Wonderfully savoury and tangy.

For something new to the deli, the Mortadella & Pickles ($15.50) was a little smaller than expected but packs a good amount of grilled cured Italian cold cut. The well-balanced soft potato roll is also stuffed with provolone cheese, mustard mayo, and house tangy pickles. Savoury, meaty, and satisfying.
