Enoterra's Croque Monsieur

Enoterra (formerly Enoteca) updated its food menu and removed the duck sandwich in favor of a croque monsieur (about 68RMB if memory serves as the menu is not online), a French hot ham and emmental or gruyère cheese sandwich. After a couple of bottles of wine, why not try it? The sandwich is huge and a great value for what it is worth, especially considering the relative size of sandwiches in Shanghai. The kitchen will even cut up the croque monsieur to make its sharing easier in a group. The sandwich has an even balance of cheese, ham, and bread. The cheese was perfectly melted and slightly toasted on top, stretching into wires when pieces of the sandwich were removed from its whole. The bread was not soggy from the butter and cheese. The ham completed the sandwich with its slight sweetness. The duck sandwich is still missed, but Enoterra's decadent croque monsieur is not a bad substitute.
