The Cheesy Tuna

                                                                                      Hack Your Sub

You could consider this the polar opposite of the Tuna Extreme. Take a six-inch bun and ask for a tuna sandwich. But instead of spreading it on one side of the split bun. ask for it to be spread on each side. Normally, it's two scoops of tuna per sub. So, ask for it to be spread one each side of the bun, one scoop per side. Now put the two slices of cheese in between the bun. Close it and have it toasted.
What you're gonna get is a six inch sub with tuna and melted cheese. The melted cheese should have bound the split bun together again. Don't open it to add vegetables because there is none needed. Also no condiments and sauces.
I saw this done by another customer in front of me. Interesting, I thought.  The customer was charged RM 7.50 even though it wasn't a Tuesday. I think the staff were too stunned to figure out how to charge it because of the non-standard selection. Your mileage may vary.
My hack on it would be to add either pickles or jalapenos together with the cheese. Or maybe a dash of pepper. They would get 'glued' together with the cheese and tuna.

Tuna Extreme






I am not a fan of tuna that they use for sandwiches here. It's usually bland and looks like a glob of grey / brown. Given that fact that we have easy access to fresh fish, one wonders who would prefer tuna sandwich over ikan bakar.
But we do need variety and there is a way you can make this experience one to remember. Try this the next time you order a tuna sandwich

  1. When ordering the tune sub, add in only lettuce and jalapenos. 
  2. If you want to keep the heat low, add mayo and tomato sauce. 
  3. If you want to crank it up, try it with chili sauce. 
  4. Green peppers are optional. Black pepper doesn't count.

This would add a kick the otherwise bland tuna. The first time I tried this, it was quite an experience but I've since gotten used to it. First-times should have water standing by.
