Westies, swing by Deli By The Meatery, a hidden gem away from the city. This chic cafe serves mouthwatering brunch options aplenty, but it’s their sourdough sandwiches that have won the hearts of many. 🥪
We recommend trying Reubenesque, which comes loaded with generous slices of smokey lychee beef pastrami and melted cheese. Pair your hearty sando with their signature Spiked Muddy, a latte infused with gula melaka.
