Dashing from work to an evening film screening, I knew I had to eat something sustaining to prevent serious tummy rumblings. But I didn’t have time for a sit-down meal. What to do? Another sandwich?
The health/taste showdown is now of course far less common than in the glory days of Ronald Macdonald and Greggs the Baker, but still, it’s easy to fall into a rut (my particular groove is Fresh’s “Bugsy” sandwich: grated carrot, houmous, watercress and alfafa sprouts).
Cycling along Fleet Street I was sandwich-sated enough to swerve my bike off the road when I caught side of Abokado, and its enticing signage offering “SUSHI WRAPS TO GO”.
Here was the answer to my quandary.
Delicious parcels of nori (roasted seaweed) packed with sticky white sushi rice and flavoursome morsels of salmon/tuna/carrot, avocado & ginger.
Abokado helpfully list the calorie and fat content on each wrap, so you know exactly what you’re getting for your bite, and you can buy a single sushi wrap or a pair, meaning you can mix and match your fillings.
If sushi isn’t your thing, they also do tortilla wraps, pots of miso soup, teriyaki chicken udon noodles, noodle salads and fresh porridge in the morning. It’s not even that expensive. Yum-E.
Abokado have shops in Drury Lane, Fleet Street and Fitzrovia (16 Newman Street).
