Hello Arigato’s newest branch is along the Joo Chiat stretch, near Dunman Food Centre and hole-in-the-wall coffee joint Kohi. The sandwiches here are all freshly breaded and prepared, with two thick slices of shokupan (Hokkaido milk bread) and packed with savoury fillings like teriyaki-glazed chicken and Australian wagyu striploin. As of now, they’re still in the soft opening stage and their menu might be subject to change.
But you should be able to order the classic wagyu sando ($40) – the obvious crème de la crème with its generous slab of wagyu. There are only limited portions of this daily, so if this has caught your eye, make sure to head down either for brunch or an early lunch. As a special item on the Joo Chiat menu, you can also order a HCG sando ($16), featuring har cheong gai (shrimp paste chicken) that’s left to marinate for 48 hours.
