Review:

Vegetable Sesame Pancake Sandwich – The Vegetable Sesame Pancake Sandwich is a Chinese sesame pancake sliced in half with cucumber, carrots, and cilantro sandwiched inside.  The sesame seed encrusted pancake has an amazing nutty flavor and satisfying texture. The pancake is golden and crisp on the outside, fluffy and chewy on the inside.  The slivers of carrots and cucumbers are crisp, refreshing.  They are marinated in a salty, sweet soy sauce based sauce.  The light veggies are the perfect filling for the rich pan-fried pancake.  The bright cilantro beautifully compliments the pancake and veggies.  Veggie sandwiches can often be lacking in flavor and not satisfying enough, but the warm pancake makes the sandwich  incredibly satisfying and the marinade, bursting with flavor, makes it far from bland.  If you love sesame pancakes, you must enjoy a sandwich from Vanessa’s dumpling house.

Sesame Pancake Egg Sandwich – The Sesame Pancake Egg Sandwich is a Chinese sesame pancake sliced in half with seasoned egg, cucumber, carrots, and cilantro sandwiched inside.  This sandwich is just as delicious as the vegetable sandwich but with the addition of rich, fluffy egg. The marinated, refreshing carrots and cucumber cut through the rich egg and add great flavor.  The sesame pancake is the perfect base for the sandwich with its incredible fluffy yet chewy texture and nutty flavor.  This is a delicious egg sandwich that is packed with unique flavors!

Yakult Drink – The Yakult Drink is a sweet Yakult-based beverage with the addition of your choice of fruit flavor and popping boba.  Yakult is my favorite Japanese probiotic drink.  It has a sweet, tart, and refreshing flavor!  I chose the lychee flavored Yakult drink.  The sweet, tropical, subtly floral lychee compliments the Yakult’s unique tart flavor perfectly.  The lychee boba is a fun addition to the drink with its fruity pop.  The drink is quite sweet, so I love it as a sweet treat after my meal.
