My coworker tells me that this is a trendy sandwich based off the name of a TV show called "Ingi Gayo" ("Let's Become Famous"), this sandwich is called "Igun Gayo", so a clever play on words I guess.
I got it because the ingredients sounded strange together, and sometimes that can be a pleasant surprise.
This has strawberry jam on one layer, and on the other is an egg/potato salad with coleslaw and fake crab.
I don't like the combination at all. It seems like not much thought went into this. I'm okay with pineapple on pizza, but I draw a pretty firm line at strawberry jam mixed with fake crab and coleslaw. I don't see how somebody can eat this and get any enjoyment from it. It's not stomach-turning, it's just such a random and unenjoyable hodgepodge of ingredients.
I think some people think randomness and creativity are the same, but they are not. Creativity should have value to others, or in this case taste good. The world, however is a very strange and unfair place, and randomness and bad ideas are very often rewarded by those who can't tell the difference.
This sandwich being a foremost example of that.

I will not get this sandwich again, and think it is nothing more than faux creativity, uninspired and thoughtless. Fake creativity is annoying to me, like all those Netflix animations trying to be edgy, sexual and smart and succeeding in nothing but awkwardness or an unfunny person trying to make a joke and sending me into an internal fury. It all sucks. Go to hell, sandwich.
2 stars
