The Chinese University’s cultural diversity is captured most deliciously by a new sandwich at Caffé Liscio of Morningside College. The new invention by the cafe manager is a favourite of many students. It features marinaded chicken thigh meat mixed with Korean chili paste, which is sweetish and gives off a moderate heat, and the chef’s ‘secret’ condiments (which we strongly suspect include Mayonnaise), then topped with a slice of processed cheddar, and stuffed into a warmed ciabatta (literally meaning ‘slipper’). It’s fusion—a Korean classic joins an English cheese popularized in America, and a bread originally from Italy—and it works. The sandwich is called the Korean Spicy Chicken and Cheese Ciabatta. If you think that’s quite a mouthful, wait till you sink your teeth into the baby. Getting a decent cross-section of bread-chicken-bread without getting that tangy filling on your chin is no easy feat!
