For Nanyang Technological University (NTU) alumni familiar with The Sandwich Guys, the news of their relocation to One Raffles City from their previous campus spot will come as a pleasant surprise. Owner Edwin Chan’s decision to move closer to the office crowd amid dwindling foot traffic during the pandemic signals a strategic shift in reaching a broader audience for their renowned ‘meatwiches’.
Despite the change in location, The Sandwich Guys remain true to their roots, retaining their beloved signature sandwiches. Favorites like the indulgent Pastrami ($14) and the hearty Cheesesteak ($9.50) remain on the menu, alongside options like BBQ Pulled Pork ($7.50) and Cubano ($8.50) for non-beef eaters.
Among their offerings, the New York-inspired Pastrami meatwich stands out as a must-try for meat enthusiasts. Packed with smoked beef brisket and house-made mustard beef gravy between slices of Pullman white bread, it’s a filling delight, albeit some found the beef a tad dry, mitigated by the tangy kick of the mustard beef gravy.
Cheese lovers won’t be disappointed with the Cheesesteak, boasting roast ribeye slices, onions, jalapenos, cheddar, mozzarella, and nacho cheese sauce in a hoagie roll. The addition of jalapenos adds a welcomed spiciness, balancing the richness of the meat. To cater to the office crowd, breakfast options are available from 8 am to 11 am, including the Breakfast Burrito Wrap ($4.90) and Classic Deli Muffins (from $4.50), offering a savory start to the day. Additionally, patrons can customize their sandwiches with Build-Your-Own-Meatwich options starting from $7.50, featuring toppings like pulled pork, piri piri chicken, and smoked salmon, ensuring a personalized culinary experience. As The Sandwich Guys settle into their new CBD location, consider dropping by to show some support and indulge in their savory-loaded sandwiches!
