Korio

- Caffeine was rather light and had a more chocolatey taste, would prefer it more intense. [6.5/10]

- Spam was crispy but a tad too salty.
- Egg sauce was fragrant with chives but very creamy rich, which got too heavy for me towards the end of half a sandwich 🍳 [7/10]

- Combination of cheddar and american cheese gave an ultimate savouriness, with tomatoes and basil cutting the greasiness well.
- Caramelised onions gave a touch of sweetness!
- Sourdough was freshly toasted till crunchy and crisp on the surface, thicker than the brioche above 🍞 [7.5/10]

There's something comforting about a grilled cheese toast and Korio's version simply hits the spot. It was perfectly toasty and melty with the cheese-pull from a mixture of cheddar and American cheese. Combined with the sweet caramelised onions, roma tomatoes and grilled sourdough bread, it was hearty and satisfying in all the right ways.

This was from a couple of months ago but glad to have finally cleared Korio’s sandwiches off my makan list after KIV-ing it for so long!

Both sandwiches we got were good! The respective breads (one brioche, one sourdough) were grilled till super crisp; the Breakfast Sammy ($13) was savoury, creamy and really moreish, while the Caprese Grilled Cheese ($15) had a good balance of flavours - we liked how the caramelised onions and marinated tomatoes added a touch of sweetness to the rich, salty cheese!

Will certainly be back again to try their other sandwiches!

name aside, this sandwich was not small at all. Crispy potato buns hold together layers of crispy spam, arugula, cheddar & American cheese, perfectly fried egg & hot Mayo. This big breakfast-esque sandwich gets levelled up with that hot mayo which adds a gentle punch to what seems like a heavy bite.

Overall, the portions are great for the price point! As a small store, they have limited seats along the walkway, so first come first serve!
