“It’s a bit of an obsession,” admits 31-year-old Jasper Sng. The former head chef of luxe Italian restaurant Senso is talking about his passion for food — especially sandwiches, which is what his food truck Mmmunch at hip food park Timbre+ sells.
He makes almost everything from scratch at his stationary truck, including the slow-roasted marinated pork shoulder, which takes at least two days to prep. The truck opened at the start of the year and offers gourmet sandwiches like the Cubano (a decadent roast pork, ham and cheese sarnie created by Cuban immigrants in Florida in the mid 1800s) below $10, and a small selection of pastas.
