[CLOSED] Cova: Healthy sandwiches for your next lunch-in

The next time you’re having a meeting in the office over lunch, treat fellow workmates (yourself included) to a wholesome packed lunch.

We recommend the sandwich lunch sets from Italian cafe Cova, which on top of being wholesome, can be delivered to your office.

Choose from nine types of sandwiches. They range from smoked Scottish salmon with roma tomatoes on wheat bread and parma ham and olive pate on milk bread to chicken ham with avocado, eggs, bacon and mayonnaise on panini. The sandwich sets are S$11.50 each and come with a side salad and two mini pastries or a slice of cake.

We ordered the salmon and chicken ham sandwiches. Some thought has obviously been given to the overall packaging to make eating the lunch sets as fuss-free as possible — the sandwiches were neatly cut up and came individually packed in a very presentable lunchbox, while the side salad was served in a cup. But if you’re truly concerned about getting your hands dirty, go for the salmon one as it comes in two neat and very manageable triangles.

We also liked that they were generous with the filling, which was fresh, tasty and not too dry. As for the sides, the desserts were surprisingly good and light. The salad, on the other hand, was slightly wilted as it came pre-dressed. It would be better if the cafe packed the dressing separately. Overall, the portions were filling without making you feel stuffed.
