And the Friets

I never thought I'd wait in line an hour for french fries, but you do everything at least once right? Mari and I waited to check out this small, gourmet, Belgium based french fry snack. The whole time we were waiting in line I kept thinking to myself "Is it possible for this to be worth it?". Once we tried the fries though we knew the answer.

Our serving of vegetable for the day (potatoes count right?).

Petit Ball Freit

Crispy on the edges, soft and steaming in the middle. In Japanese we call this texture 'Hoku-hoku', an 

onomatopoeia for food that are steaming from within. You have the opportunity to lather this up in one of the sauces to get a blast of flavor. -Mari 

Sweet Satsuma Freit Box Set with Fried Chicken

The fried chicken was surprisingly good. The skin tasted great and was perfectly crisp. The meat was extremely juicy and easy to eat. -Daniel

I absolutely loved the Satsuma fries. I'd definitely order this one again. -Mari 

Rare Freit

The most disappointing out of the four. Maybe it was due to the type of potato itself (sweet purple potato) but it failed to deliver the same crispiness as the others. There was a hint of natural sweetness overwhelmed with mushiness. Maybe I'll try another one next time.. -Mari

Curly Fry Box Set with Falafels
✭✭✭✭✩
830 yen

The curly fries were perfect. The seasoning had a great flavour and made them stand out from the usual. They were at the perfect level of crispiness. The only thing I would change is I wish there was more curliness to the fries (like the awesome spiral fries hidden above). -Daniel

The falafel was a lot less greasier than the ones we're used to, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. Either way I was still sad that there was only 4 pieces. -Mari

Sauces (From top left to bottom right: honey mustard mayo, three cheese, barbecue,  fresh basil mayonnaise 

Out of all four sauces we both agreed that the basil mayonnaise was the best. The honey mustard mayo was a close second, and the barbecue came in third. The cheese, our first choice of the four, was in dead last because it tasted like the old, salty nacho cheese you get with your nachos in a cinema. -Daniel

OVERALL

We both agreed that a 15 minute wait would be worth it. The fries, for the most part, were a good snack. The atmosphere was non-existant (even though they were going for the exclusive feel) due to the small sardine tin size and all the other sardines in the room.
