TAKEOFF

Located in a small alley in Tianmu, this shop has a very American style. The kitchen is small but well-equipped, clean, and bright, making for a pleasant atmosphere. There is only one small table, and takeout is the main focus. You can conveniently call ahead to place your order and then pick it up.

There are three types of bread and four types of meat that can be mixed and matched freely. The classic croissant with tender beef, the flaky croissant paired with soft beef, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, cheese, pickles, jalapeños, and homemade sauces make for a great overall flavor, though it would be perfect if the sauce flavor were a bit stronger.

The ciabatta with honey-glazed pork is quite good as well, with the crispy ciabatta complementing the tender honey-glazed pork and sides. However, there is a bit too much fatty meat for my taste, which is a pity, but overall it is still delicious. The tomato soup is good too. I really enjoyed it and would like to try the beef short ribs and smoked beef next time to compare.
