Well, mon cheri, THIS BLOG IS FOR YOU!

CRAZY JACK SANDWICHES
Location: area fronting SM Foodcourt, near Bayo
Why am I impressed: Their bread are healthy, flavorful, soft and the textures go so well with the fillings! They are using hoagie bread (gourmet version of the hotdog bread) and whole wheat bread. Healthy, as I said. The menu is varied and the sandwiches come in beef, fish, chicken, ham, crabmeat orders! Some are shown in the pix, looks absolutely yummy noh?? Wabsie and I already tried Beef Pastrami (more beef pls! hmmp!), Crazy Tuna (if u hate fish smell, don’t try this. absolutely fishy! hehe!), Mr. Jack (wabsie’s fave, i think. he’s sooo into beef), Hickory Chicken (very flavorful!) and Red Crab (not in pix. my fave! perfect bleding of crab flavor, mangoes & other stuff). I think they offer about 8-10 sandwiches and you have the choice to add wasabi to your order for that extra zing. For some people, the prices are quite high (P45-80 for a sandwich??) but let me tell you, it will satisfy your hungry pangs. And given its large-ish size, there’s enough carbo, protein, fats, vitamins & minerals (veggies abound!) to last your body for 2-4 hours. Just enough to tide you over while watching a movie =D

The orders are wrapped in sandwich paper, much like the fastfood burger wrappers and placed in a transparent plastic bag (which u can reuse as a baon bag, hehe!). The order is ready in about 5-15min, depending on the quantity. Sorry for the blurred pix, I took the shot while inside the cinema (before wabsie can devour the sandwich!) so I had to rush-rush w/o focusing lest the cinema people find out I have a cam inside and confiscate it! Ackk! Anyway, it’s the checking guard’s fault. He should have inspected my bag contents better. Hehe! Oh well.. =D As for Crazy Jack, it has become our essential foodie when we’re in SM. It’s the best meal we can have while watching a movie and not ruin our appetite for the real meal afterwards (yellowcab 4-cheese pizza pls!! hehe). Their bread is perfect but it’s still a hit-&-miss for their fillings. I must be able to try it all first before I can say they have the best-tasting sandwiches (irregardless if it’s beef, tuna, etc) on this side of Davao. So wabsie when’s our next SM-Crazy Jack foodtrip?? Got 3-5 sandwiches to cover pa!
postscript: discovered this food stall late last year and came back very recently
(SM is not accesible to me coz the main hospitals where i have my duties are all in
downtown); they started last July 2005.
