Yet again a visit to West Acton Park after a bike ride around the lake. On most nights you'll find that the business here have very few customers which makes it easier to find seats and chillax while eating some decent food. Don't let the lack of crowd be the judge of quality. Still quite a conservative food haunt for those in the know... but it won't stay much of a secret for long.

The dish to come for at The One would have to be their press buns. I asked for a recommendation and the bun of choice suggested was The Cubanos - A buttered American Style Bun housing home made onions, pickle mix, chilli emulsion, slaw, slow cooked sous vide pork, honey smoked ham, cheese mix and mustard.

   

The initial view of the cross section was picture perfect. This itself shows pressed bun perfection to a tee. As you first chomp into it, the fillings all meld together into this oozy goodness that just made me smile. Everything worked so well in harmony, the sauces were subtle yet present, the meat was tender but not disintegrated and the cheese and pickles add the random spikes of interest that kept me wanting more. Though the price was on the higher end at $13,50 for a sandwich essentially, you definitely pay for what you get.

The Flat Head Taco filled with guac, Thai slaw, beer battered flathead, garlic and sumac emulsion, pickle mix and fresh lime was another story. The fish was crunchy but dry... too heavily deep fried with thick batter that left me wishing for more fish. The sauces and additions just didn't add anything to pick up the dish from that point.

Service is friendly and professional but you will be whacked with a credit card surchage. Nonetheless definitely swing pass this shipping container village filled with good eats and stop by The One for their pressed buns... a nice different but not so different change from the good ol' burger.
