Food Review: Which Wich

Now that everyone is fascinated by American Franchises opening in U.A.E., it was about time that Which Wich showed up. While Which Wich is pretty similar in concept to the likes of Pot Belly, Charley's Grilled Subs and Subway, it has a lot more to offer. Another added benefit of Which Wich is that it is more organized than its competitors.

Located at the side of City Tower 1 (Near Crowne Plaza Hotel) on Sheikh Zayed Road, Which Wich has to offer a range of sandwiches or as some would say Subs, along with some smooth Milk Shakes and freshly baked cookies.


As you enter Which Wich, you can see an area on the left hand side with a huge list of sandwich options and numbers from 1 to 10 on it. Each number indicates a category of sandwich. For example: 1 is for Turkey, 4 is for Chicken while 6 is for Vegetarian. Under each category, a number of sandwich options are listed. There are 5 sandwich options under each category, which gives you a choice of about 50 sandwiches. This means that one cannot complain about the number of sandwiches Which Wich has to offer.

The first step is to pick a brown bag from the number you choose and start ticking off the options one by one. You have to start by choosing from 1 of the 5 sandwich options. After selecting the Chicken Category, I chose Buffalo Chicken from the list which also included Chicken Tikka Salad, Chicken Pesto, Teriyaki Chicken and Chicken.

Once done with this, one has the option to also choose whether they want double cheese or double meat. I didn't choose either. The next step is an important one and it is totally dependent on your choice and appetite at the same time. There are 3 different sizes of wiches to choose from - A small wich is 7 inches in size, a medium wich is 10.5 inches in size and a large wich is 14 inches in size. If you are not interested in having a sandwich, there is also a choice of Bowlwich or Lettucewich (A lettuce wrap).

Since I wasn't too hungry, I opted for a small wich. The next thing I had to make up my mind was on deciding whether to go for a coldwich or a hotwich (a toasted sandwich). I love toasted sandwiches and went for the hotwich.


Choose what you like
After completing these easy steps, it is then time for a difficult step. Why I consider this particular step difficult is because of the number of choices one has. There are more than 10 varieties of cheeses, 10 varieties of spreads and sauces, 3 types of mustards, 3 types of mayos, 6 different dressings, 3 types of onions, more than 10 types of veggies and about 7 Oils and spices to choose from. Which wich offers so much that one would be spoilt for choice.

After ticking off the options, me and my friend handed over the brown packet at the cash counter and paid for my sandwich. Since I wanted something sweet as well, I ordered a brownie. We were asked to take a seat and the staff would bring it to us.

Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

Our order arrived in about 5-7 minutes. The sandwich was warm and tasted delicious. I loved the chicken and the fresh veggies used in the sandwich. However the best part about the sandwich was the Marinara sauce. The Crisps in the sandwiches added that extra awesomeness to the sandwich.

The staff was generous enough to give us a complementary Double Chocolate Cookie and a Cranberry & White Chocolate Cookie. I loved the freshly baked Double Chocolate Cookie, while the Cranberry & White Chocolate Cookie was good too. The Brownie however was just brilliant. Overall, justice was done to my sweet tooth.

I must add that I have also tried the Milkshakes at Which Wich on different visits. I loved the Oreo Milkshake and my friend speaks highly of the Vanilla Milkshake. The Milkshakes are thick and filling since it is only available in large size. During other visits and home delivery, I have tried Teriyaki Chicken, Chicken Tikka Salad, Chicken Italiano, Chipotle Chicken and Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwiches. I must say that I was impressed by each of these sandwiches.

On the whole, Which Wich is the perfect place for sandwich and sub lovers. It has a variety to offer like no other and with the Brownie, Cookies and Milkshakes it has to offer, Which Wich deserves a lot more loyal customers than it presently has. Dine in at Which Wich and you will understand why I speak so highly of this place.

Food Review: Mumbai Masti Juice Centre (MMJC)

How many times does it happen that you are hungry but just want to have something different, something Mumbai style. By Mumbai style I mean those sandwiches, juices and other stuff you got back home. All those people who have been to Mumbai will relate to this. If you ever had that craving and didn't know where to go, well Mumbai Masti Juice Centre (MMJC) is the answer to your cravings.

My order (during my first visit) consisted of Mozarella Sticks, Mushroom Mozarella Cheese Pizza, Veg. Paneer Cheese Grill and Pomegranate Juice. 

Mozarella Sticks
As I dug into the Mozarella Cheese Sticks, I was sure I was in for a treat. The ooziness of the Cheese and the crispiness of the Cheese sticks was an amazing combination. You would have tried such cheese sticks at a number of places but I can promise you that the dip served at MMJC, gives a totally different experience.

Mushroom Mozarella Cheese Pizza
Next on was Mushroom Mozarella Cheese Pizza. The amount of cheese used on this Pizza ensures that it does not fall under the category of a healthy option but its taste might just help you reduce your guilt. Having tried Italian style pizzas and American style pizzas, I can say that Indian style pizzas might not impress everyone but are worth a try. The Mushroom used in the Pizza, is fresh and tastes good.

Veg. Paneer Cheese Grill 
Veg. Paneer Cheese Grill was probably the best thing I ordered from MMJC. I must say that the grill sandwich is delicious. Fresh veggies used, a crisp bread and oozy cheese means that you are in for a treat.  This sandwich gets a thumbs up from my side.

Pomegranate Juice
Who doesn't enjoy a glass of fresh juice every now and then? MMJC does have some good range of fresh juices. Pomegranate, Sugar Cane (my personal favourite), Watermelon, Orange, Carrot are a few from the list of fresh juices MMJC has to offer. The Pomegranate juice I tried on this instance was good but not the best I have had. I think the season must be kept in mind when ordering a juice.

Overall MMJC is worth a try for its sandwiches and Sugar Cane juice. A place you can visit when you want to grab a bite and are looking for a place that is not sophisticated.

Bill (for 2):
1 Mozarella Sticks                                AED 12
1 Mushroom Mozarella Cheese Pizza     AED 18
1 Veg. Paneer Cheese Grill                    AED 12
2 Pomegranate Juices                           AED 30
Total                                                   AED 72

Events: Costa Coffee Barista of the Year

I was recently invited to the Barista of the Year event organized by Costa Coffee at the Marina Walk branch in Dubai. Being my first invite to such an event, I was pretty excited for it. After getting lost for a bit, I managed to reach the branch just about in time.


As I entered the Costa premises, I was guided by cheerful baristas, to the room where the event was to take place. I sat down on my table and was told to order whatever I liked to drink whilst being served with some delicious Costa sandwiches.

The event started with a brief talk on how important the Baristas are and the need to award them for all their hard work.


Before prizes were distributed to the winning Baristas, the Costa Customer Winner was announced. The lucky and loyal Costa customer grabbed herself, a one year supply of Costa Coffee (unfortunately I couldn't grab her name).

Then began the fun session of distribution of awards, clicking of photographs and loads of smiles and laughter.

The following is the list of the winning Baristas:
- Kasaf Sanillka Perera - Mall Area
- Lasantha Chamara Pigera - Abu Dhabi Airport
- Joan Ilagan - Airport Area
- Feb Casinillo - Office Area
- Lauraine Atatar - Kiosk Area
- Anthony Ofilandra - The Nation's Favourite Barista



The winners were cheerful and happy with what they had managed to achieve. The celebrations continued for a while and I managed to dig into another irresistable Costa sandwich in the mean time. I am pretty sure that the Baristas would have partied hard that night, celebrating their achievements. Where? That I have no idea about ;)

A big thanks to Wendy (from Mcollins Media) and Costa Coffee for the invite. It was a short and fun event with happy faces all around.
