In Victoria, students don’t have to travel far to sample exotic foods from all over the world. I opted for an imaginary visit to South Asia to savour a nicely toasted flatbread known as the Naan. Sabri Naanwich offers plenty of tasty choices for $7-$9. On this occasion, I ordered the sautéed lamb with ginger. As for sandwich dressing, I asked for the works—lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, jalapenos, and onions with a mild hot sauce mixed in. Add a dash of garlic sauce on top and I had a winning combination. What I bit into was like a kiss from a female demon that set me on fire. I savoured the chilli-flavoured sweetness and enjoyed that fiery caress on my tongue. The vegetables were fresher than what Subway manages to offer and enjoying the taste of bread made with yogurt was a welcome change.

Taster’s Tip: Naan can be eaten on its own, buttered or unbuttered, or with hummus, raisins, and spices to help add to its already unique flavour.
