You may wonder -- why on earth would someone travel to Taiwan for a ham and cheese sandwich? (The bread isn't even toasted.) Converts will tell you they were once disbelievers too.
Some say it's the unbeatable combination of ham and a layer of paper-thin fried egg. Others say it's the buttery and sweet fresh cream and secret mayo.
Most agree it's the balanced flavor of all these ingredients, sandwiched in a four-layered combo, that makes it a hit. The sandwich even stirred a Horng Ryen Jen import craze in Hong Kong.
