Bread‑free option available for fans of sandwich quick meals

The Star4 days ago

Health-conscious folk looking for lighter-carb and protein-packed quick meals now have an extra option.
The bread-free Wonder Sub –with two oven-roasted chicken slices instead of loaf pieces holding together sandwich fillings – is available at Subway kiosks nationwide.
This latest meal is part of a new menu chapter in Subway Malaysia's initiative called 'Beyond the Bread'.
Filled with crisp lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion, and cheddar, the Wonder Sub is available until June 24.
Wonder Sub customers can opt for the same variety of custom toppings offered for six-inch subs.
Whether you crave extra cheddar, a layer of spicy Italian slices or even a scoop of tuna, these favourite fillings can be in a wrap, a salad or with selected add‑ons in the bread‑free Wonder Sub.
Wraps and salads will remain permanent offerings, providing guests with portable options for busy commutes, or a fresh bowl for post-festive resets, and post-gym refuels.
These three options reflect Malaysia's increasing demand for convenient, nutritious meals while retaining the brand's signature bread.
The process remains familiar –guests can choose a protein, load up on veggies and add their favourite sauce – now with formats that suit different lifestyles.
'Our customers love the aroma of fresh-baked bread but they have also expressed the desire for more flexibility,' said Subway Malaysia chief executive officer Kon Kin Siong.
'Beyond the Bread is our solution. The classics are still available, while we offer something new for anyone counting macros, rushing between meetings or simply seeking variety,' said Kon.

Italy's PM, French president hold talks in Rome

ROME, June 3 (Xinhua) -- Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Tuesday welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron and the two leaders held bilateral talks on various issues, including trade, and relationships with the United States, according to Italian media. The French president was greeted with the guard of honour at Palazzo Chigi, and Meloni and Macron were seen shaking hands and smiling for cameras before entering the government palace. The bilateral talks were expected to help dispel recent tensions between the two countries, Ansa news agency reported. France and Italy are traditional allies, and the second and third-largest economies in the European Union (EU), respectively, but the two governments have been at odds over a number of issues, and are politically distant: Meloni leads a right-wing, nationalist cabinet, while Macron is centrist and strongly pro-European. According to Ansa, the two leaders also differ from each other in their approach to the United States, with Meloni seeking to build close ties with President Donald Trump -- and play a negotiating role between the United States and the EU on tariffs -- and Macron advocating a more independent EU's stance. On the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, both countries have vowed strong support to Kiev, but the Italian prime minister has shown skepticism toward a French-British plan to send peacekeeping troops in case of a peace deal. Meloni's office did not release any statement after the bilateral meeting with the French president on Tuesday, nor held a press conference. On Saturday, however, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani declared Macron's visit would be "an absolutely positive event between two countries that are allies and neighbours."

Coach Inzaghi to leave Inter Milan: Club

ROME: Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi is leaving after four years by "mutual agreement", the club announced on Tuesday, as Italian media reported he was moving to Saudi Arabia. "The club and Simone Inzaghi are parting ways. This is the decision taken by mutual agreement," Inter said in a statement. Both Inter and Inzaghi said the decision had been made at a meeting involving the coach and club President Giuseppe Marotta on Tuesday afternoon. The parting came just days after Saturday's 5-0 thumping by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. Talk had already been swirling about his exit, and last month Inzaghi played down rumours about a two-year deal with Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal worth 50 million euros. Italian media said Tuesday this reported had been confirmed. Inzaghi took over Inter in 2021 and had a contract until 2026. The 49-year-old guided the club to one Serie A title - Inter's 20th - and two Italian Cups. He led the team to two Champions League finals in the past three seasons but lost both. On track to repeat the treble heroics of 2010 just a few weeks ago, Inter ended the season trophyless after falling away in each competition. In its statement, the club said Inzaghi's management was "characterised by great passion, accompanied by professionalism and dedication." His trophies had "brought the club back to the top of Italian and European football", it said. Marotta thanked him "for the work done, for the passion shown and also for the sincerity in today's discussion, which led to the common decision to separate our paths." "Only when we have fought together to achieve success day by day, can we have a frank dialogue like the one that happened today," he said. In a separate statement, Inzaghi thanked the players, managers and staff, but most of all the fans, adding: "I will never forget you." — AFP

Macron to visit Meloni after rivalry creates tension on Ukraine, trade

FILE PHOTO: French President Emmanuel Macron and Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni deliver remarks at the Elysee Palace in Paris, France, on June 20, 2023. LUDOVIC MARIN/Pool via REUTERS/File Photo PARIS/ROME (Reuters) -French President Emmanuel Macron will visit Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Tuesday, seeking to improve relations amid tensions between the two European leaders over Ukraine, trade and relations with the United States. Macron is a fervent pro-European who has had a long rapport with Donald Trump, while Meloni is a nationalist with a strong transatlantic tilt who seems more ideologically aligned with the U.S. president. They have advocated different -- even competing - approaches to the new Trump era. Meloni, whose country has a large trade surplus with the U.S., has sought to keep Europe aligned with the U.S., using the slogan "Make the West great again" in a meeting with Trump in Washington in April. Macron has pushed for the EU to take a more independent approach. On the Russian war in Ukraine, Meloni has been sceptical about Macron's "coalition of the willing" and a Franco-British plan put forward earlier this year to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine in the event of a peace agreement. Sending troops would be deeply unpopular in Italy. Hostility flared publicly in recent weeks, with officials close to Macron and Meloni privately or openly criticising their respective initiatives over Ukraine or trade. Meloni was criticised in Italy for not travelling to Kyiv with Macron and the German, British and Polish leaders on May 10 and then for missing a call with Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy at a summit in Albania a few days later. After Meloni explained her absence by saying the meetings were about sending troops to Ukraine, her government was furious that Macron said publicly that the meetings were about a ceasefire and seemed to equate her justification with "Russian disinformation". French and Italian officials said Macron had taken the initiative to hold Tuesday's meeting and sought to play down talk of a rift, saying the meeting and a working dinner would be an opportunity for Macron to show "respect" and "friendship". "The president is available to all of our European partners, whatever the political persuasion may be," an Elysee official told reporters. The Elysee said the two would discuss security guarantees for Ukraine, the Mercosur trade deal and U.S. tariffs, as well as industrial cooperation between the two countries, including Franco-Italian carmaker Stellantis, which appointed a new Italian chief executive last month. Italian officials said the meeting was meant to "lay the foundations for a further strengthening of relations" and added that talks would also address the situation in the Middle East and Libya. Both Italy and France are worried Russia might boost its presence in eastern Libya, to keep a foothold in the Mediterranean after Moscow's ally President Bashar al-Assad was ousted in Syria in December. "This Macron-Meloni meeting isn't about rekindling Franco-Italian friendship. It's about necessity, not nostalgia," said Francesco Galietti of Rome-based consultancy Policy Sonar, saying the two capitals should find common ground on Libya "fast".
