Thick cut fries served from now on!!!! @ Burger King

Walked past and noticed that they were serving thick cut fries.
When I went in I realised these thick cut fries have replaced the thin cut fries served before.

It is quite interesting for a well established fast food chain to change their fries, I wonder if it is a global change as well.

Anyway I decided to try them.

Thick cut fries:
Although they are marketed as thick cut, they were not that thick, they were about 7-9 mm in diameter.
The thin fries before were probably around 6-7 mm in diameter.
Since they were slightly thicker than the fries before, it made the fries more substantial, the inside was soft with a slight crispy exterior.

As they were thicker, not much salt remained on the surface of the fries so they were not that salty and I felt that more ketchup was needed to makeup for the taste.
The fries before were tastier but these are also good too because they have a lovely soft center.

Perhap they need an extra pinch of salt.

DUNK IT IN, DROP IT IN:

Cornmeal crusted catfish @ Blue Smoke Bar-B-Que

Previously dined here before and their semi-buffet lunch was good, so this time went again.

Although the buffet was not as good as before, the mains were still OK.
The buffet choice was quite limited and there was no soup or fried chicken which was available before.

Even the dessert buffet selection was limited.

Catfish sandwich:
I have always wanted to try the catfish so I ordered that.
The catfish was coated in cornmeal and came with freshly made crisps.
The coating was really interesting, the cornmeal was extremely fine, and it had an extra crispy texture.
The coating was light because the cornmeal was ultrafine like semolina.

The fish was nice and succulent and tender but the coating was slightly too salty.
As for the crisps, they were slightly hard but since they were freshly done they were quite nice.
