This great article about breakfast has a wonderful passage about sandwiches . . . bacon sandwiches to be exact.
Nonetheless those trying to stretch people’s taste at breakfast understandably tread carefully. Take the bacon sandwich, a dependable British breakfast option. Go to St John Bread and Wine in east London, a restaurant that celebrates British food, and you will be served one that is a testament to tradition. The bread is thick and white, lightly charred and heavily buttered. The bacon is unsmoked and savoury; the ketchup fruity and sharp. Round the corner, at Dishoom, an Indian restaurant inspired by the cafés of Mumbai, tradition takes a hit. The bacon comes wrapped in naan bread, puffy and scorched, smeared with cream cheese and chilli jam and garlanded with coriander. It is delicious. Just close enough to the norm of a bacon sandwich to be recognisable, just far enough to feel exciting.

For my fellow Yanks, Le Petit Saigon's banh mi of the month is a Philly Cheese steak inspired sandwich. Looks pretty legit and I don't recall seeing cheese steaks anywhere in HK.
Will be checking it out this month and packing a dose of lactaid with me for that wit wiz.
Many, many years ago my wife and I did a taste taste of Pat's vs. Geno's in Philly. We also ordered pizza fries. It was probably another 15 years before I ate another cheese steak.
