Poutine dans L’Hong Kong @ New York Fries

Finally more variety of chips in Hong Kong, I first encountered gravy and chips at the Cul De Sac joint or back home with the traditional gravy and chips or Curry sauce and chips.

Next came The Big Bite, rather crunchy chips. Then Ireland’s potato, a Taiwanese joint packaging itself to be Irish.

Now, the notorious New York Fries are in town, even looking at the pictures from OR users, it looked good, the cheese on the Poutine were not Mozarella, the substitute commonly used, but lumps of cheese curds. Although the fries look rather brown, not like the regular golden fries elsewhere, that how they are meant to be, not so crunchy on the outside, but soft and piping hot in the inside, as they are freshly cut, just like the ones in France. The famous Poutine originates from Canada, later being popular all over the world.

Anyway, the Poutine served at NYF is so good, the fries are slighty soft, and adhering to the gravy, and the cheese curds adds some punch to it.

Apart from Poutine, I also tried the plain fries with extra cheese sauce, a thick cheddar sauce, which is different to the quick hardening cheese at Irelands potato, then the remaining fries, I went crazy and sprinkled so much vinegar on it, just like the chips in UK. The condiments there were also good too, such as the Cajun, and California sweet BBQ powder.

We shall hopefully see more branches in HK, as it is a franchise, and a minimum of ten are supposed to open in Hong Kong and Macau within 5 years.
Despite the name, there are no branches in New York!!
