The Cent-Threesome sees a ménage á trois of Jamon ham, turkey ham & steamed pork belly all on top of each other in a saucy sandwich. The two slices of toasted sourdough (?) bread were exceptionally excellent, with a crunchy crust but a soft bready interior that won’t utterly maul the roof of your mouth. The lush lemongrass sweet chili dressing was amply applied on said bread, and it was the perfect flavouring for the meats. It’s very mildly spicy, but delightfully sweet & aromatic from the lemongrass. It went remarkably well with the steamed pork belly, which was also quite exceptional due to the lack of any stench and a gelatinous, charmingly chewy rind. While I understand the idea, the addition of century eggs to this sandwich was a mismatch. Perhaps they would’ve been a better fit if it was a century egg aioli instead, but it is what it is.⠀

Overall, I gotta say that the new dishes that Lil’s Taproom & Kitchen Playground have cooked up are delicious, innovative & whimsical. Quite impressive, and I’ll definitely be back for pints & grub. Thanks for the invite, @lils.taproom!
