Sando&Don Fix Near Dhoby Ghaut(+Matcha!)
9Toast near Dhoby Ghaut is known for their sando sandwiches like honey glazed sandos and milk shokupan sandos, and they also have some unique drinks like tiramisu drinks.
This time I tried their rice don series — the mentaiko karaage don and the ebi don.
The mentaiko karaage don was really good. The mentaiko mayo added a lot of flavour and the karaage was super crispy and well fried.
The ebi don was also great — the shrimp were juicy and I loved the poached egg on top. The edamame and corn added a nice texture too.
For drinks, I tried the iced uji matcha latte and iced yuzu matcha. I didn’t expect much from the yuzu matcha but it actually paired really well with the matcha. Since I’m not a big fan of milk-based drinks, the yuzu matcha ended up being my favourite.
If you’re near Dhoby Ghaut and craving sandos or a rice don bowl, this is a nice chill spot to check out.
Thank you @9toast_sg for the invite!!

From my experience, the blend of crispy textures and rich flavors in their sandwiches and don bowls make it worth trying several items on the menu if you have time.
