New Culinary Delight at Coffee House
Coffee House, operated by C-United Co., Ltd., has launched an exciting new sandwich that is set to take food lovers by storm! The sandwich, titled "Quattro Formaggi Sandwich with Abundant Cheese", is a winner from the inaugural "Coffee House Sandwich Recipe Contest," held across its 205 locations nationwide. It will be available for a limited time starting December 9.
The Winning Sandwich: A Flavorful Creation
The Quattro Formaggi Sandwich perfectly embodies the spirit of Coffee House by emphasizing coffee synergy through its ingredient choices. Crafted using five different kinds of cheese, this mouth-watering creation combines the fluffy texture of soft bread with generous layers of creamy cheeses, like mozzarella and camembert, to create a rich and satisfying meal. For an added touch of indulgence, customers can drizzle sweet honey over the sandwich, enhancing the dish's sweet and savory profile. This unique sandwich is designed to be enjoyed not just as a meal but also as a light snack during tea time.
Unlike typical Quattro Formaggi dishes that usually include blue cheeses, this iteration ensures optimal pairing with coffee, incorporating varieties like mozzarella, camembert, cheddar, and a mix of gouda and other cheeses, providing a well-rounded and harmonious taste.
Additionally, a hint of pepper is sprinkled on top to elevate the overall flavor experience.
Perfect Pairings: Recommended Coffee
To complement the Quattro Formaggi Sandwich, the team recommends pairing it with "Mandheling G-1" coffee. Known for its depth and buttery toast-like qualities, this coffee beautifully balances the rich, cheesy, and subtly sweet notes of the sandwich, enhancing both flavors for a remarkable dining experience.
Special Winter Treat: Chocolate Hot Cakes
Also launching on December 9 is the winter-exclusive "Melt-in-Your-Mouth Rich Chocolate Hot Cake with Strawberry Whip". This indulgent dessert features dark chocolate sauce drizzled generously over Coffee House's signature traditional hot cakes— a true sweet lover's delight!
This year, the recipe has had a sweet makeover with the addition of handmade strawberry whip and frozen strawberries to create a refreshing, tangy contrast to the deep, rich chocolate flavors. The strawberry whip is crafted with care, mixing homemade cream with strawberry puree to deliver a luscious texture.
The Ultimate Eating Experience
The recommended way to enjoy these hot cakes is to first savor them on their own, then gradually add the toppings to experience the wonderful contrast in textures and flavors. For an ultimate treat, enjoy them alongside an indulgent scoop of melting vanilla ice cream!
Suggested Beverage Pairings for Hot Cakes
Accompanying the hot cakes, the recommended coffees include "Mandheling G-1" and "Charcoal Roasted Coffee". The robust flavor and slight bitterness of Mandheling elevate the sweet notes of the hot cake, while the unique charcoal roasted coffee, with its smooth finish, perfectly balances the tartness of the strawberries and cream.
Both options are lauded for their aromatic qualities, together creating a rich flavor explosion when enjoyed.
