Subway Student Meals!!

Subway is definitely the place for anyone who loves sandwiches. I was introduced to this place a few years back and instantly fell in love with their variety of sandwiches. My girlfriend herself has become a Subway-maniac because of me. Anyways, I recently found out that Subway provides student meals, it was such a pleasant surprise to a Subway lover like me. There is a down side to this though... It is only available at Anchor Point & Marine Cove(East Coast Park, its around the area where the McDonalds is). Its student meals aren't available on Weekends and Public holidays.

Subway
Student Meals ($5.50)
-1x small Drink
-1x 6-inch Sub (Limited to: Egg Mayo, Cold-Cut Trio, Ham & Cheese & Tuna)
-1x Cookie of your choice
*Note: only available at Anchor Point & Marine Cove. Not available on Weekends and Public holidays. *

Surely by simply reading this, you're probably bored and thinking that may be this is an over-rated sandwich kinda franchise. I seriously beg to differ. Check out my pictures and their website. I'm gonna introduce you to what I think tastes good and may keep you coming back for more. They are the Cold-Cut Trio and the Double Choc chip cookie & Macadamia Nut.

Some Basic things you should know about Subway
=Ordering=
1st - Choose a Sub from the menu. For the student meal you will be limited to only the Egg Mayo, Cold-Cut Trio, Ham & Cheese, & Tuna.

2nd - You gotta choose the Type of bread you want it in & whether you want it toasted. There's Italian, Wheat, Honey Oats, Parmesan Oregano & Hearty Italian.

Decide if its a 6-inch or foot long. A foot long is just having an extra 6-inches to the sub you selected. For the extra 6-inches to make it into a foot long you pay $3.40 more. This applies to any Sub you want to make into a foot long.

Choose a Bread Type
*Hint Hint* Try Parmesan Oregano








3rd - You gotta choose the what toppings you want in your Sub. Basically these are all vegetables. There's, Onions, Lettuce, Olives, pickles, Green peppers, Green Chillis, Cucumbers and Tomatoes.
Lastly, the crowning moment of your sandwich. Choose the sauce you want.


"Sweet Onion"
"Honey Mustard"
"Chipotle Southwest"












Oil & Vinegar
Mayonnaise
Mustard
Red Wine Vinaigrette





Finally if you're not a student, you could always buy a regular meal or a large meal. They'll ask you to choose a bag of chips or 2 - 3 cookies. This depends on the meal. For the student meal, you only get the choice of a single cookie. For drinks, you will be given a cup and you are given the freedom to go and get your own drink from the Drinks dispenser. I normally combine the various sodas and teas together. It just tastes better ^_^.

Cold-Cut Trio is made up of Turkey Ham, Turkey Salami & Turkey Bologna. My girlfriend and I normally have this with Parmesan Oregan bread, lots of veggies extra Olives, no Pickles and Green Chillis. Toasted and topped off with Chipotle Southwest sauce & a healthy sprinkle of pepper. It makes a decent and wholesome meal. Its crusty due to the bread as well as tender, crisp(due to the veggies) and juicy on the inside. Its refreshing and wholesome all in all & definitely filling. Cold-Cut Trio is a very versatile Sub, you can eat it hot or cold. But it definitely tastes better when toasted. I sometimes bring one home, leave it in the fridge and eat it the following day. Still tastes great!!

ALL MINE!!!^0^








Cookies
are either the appetisers before your meal or the dessert after it. These cookies are tasty and are not to be underestimated. They are 7-8cm in diameter and come in a variety of flavours. They have a chewy and course texture. In addition their flavours will not dissappoint. They are also very filling. My favourites are Macadamia Nut and Double Choc chip. Other flavours include Oatmeal raisin, Choc-chip, Choc-chip with M&Ms and a few other flavours which I didn't take note of.
7-8cm in diameter,
an intoxicating combination of cookies...
Such demure appearances...^0^





The value can be noted
in the pricing when compared with other fast-food outlets like Macdonalds and KFC. The prices range from $4-$6. The size of your sandwich and side order will definitely make for a decent meal. What will stand out is that, unlike other fast-foods, you will not get your fingers oily after your meal. This is one outlet which is much healthier in comparison with other fast foods. Just take a look at this article I copied and pasted from Subway's website FAQs.
"15. Who is Jared? Is he a real person?
Jared Fogle is the young man who lost 245 lbs. by eating nothing but SUBWAY® sandwiches for almost a year in a diet program of his own design that included lots of walking and, yes, he is real. Jared came to our attention after Men’s Health magazine ran an article that featured his amazing weight-loss success story. Appearing in a series of SUBWAY® TV commercials beginning in January 2000, Jared has since inspired many others to follow his lead. These days, he keeps busy by traveling throughout the United States and Canada, making public appearance and doing thousands of interviews for television, radio, newspapers and magazines."
