The Mr Wong sandwich features crispy ginger and garlic chicken tossed in crispy chilli oil, coated in a sticky orange glaze, and layered with pickled daikon and red onion, shredded lettuce, and is also available with a side of traditional siu mai. It is a vibrant, celebratory nod to the Year of the Horse and a true fusion of two much-loved Liverpool brands.

This fun and flavourful partnership brings together two iconic city businesses: Wongs Jewellers, a cornerstone of Liverpool’s jewellery scene for decades, and Derek’s, known for its creative, crowd-pleasing sandwiches and loyal following.

“It’s a privilege for us to partner with a Liverpool institution like Wongs, working with Mr Wong on this project and watching the passion and dedication he puts into his craft has been amazing, a true inspiration for a young business like us!” - Ethan Woodroofe, Co-Founder of Derek’s.

Derek’s shared a teaser video with their followers, which has generated an overwhelming response of positivity and excitement, which truly shows the community spirit Liverpool is famous for.
