Palm Court - Sandwich Bar

The menu at palm court is fairly wide ranging, but today we'll be focusing only on the sandwich bar. This is on the counter on the left as you enter from Victoria Parade.

There are typically three types of bread available: sliced white, sliced wholemeal, and rolls (which can either be white or wholemeal depending on what side of the bed the purchasing guy woke up on). My favourite is the wholemeal roll, but there is usually only around a 25% chance of this being available.

Once you've selected your bread its now on the to the fillings.



My two favourites are:

  • cheese and salad with beetroot and pickle - a nasty sour thing that makes you happy
  • smoked walu and salad with pickle - a happy salty thing that makes you nasty
There are many other fillings and you obviously can customise your sandwich with various combinations.

Your sandwich gets wrapped in the tightest cling wrap known to man. It will take three times as long to unwrap as to eat.



Turn up early, by 1315 the place fills up with yuppie scum who eat up all the wholemeal rolls, and breathe too much oxygen. In fact get your sandwich and go back to your office, classroom, or the the park across the road.


In Summary:

problem is that the place is situated in way too much of an open area - I think most coffee and snack lovers like me like to have a place which is quiet and where you can sit down and be a little separated from the noise and rush of the outside world... Their fruit drinks are pretty good though!!!
