The hype surrounding this highly regarded cafe failed to meet our expectations. Menu described their unique version of chips as 'confit kipfler potatoes with chilli salt & vanilla aioli'. While that sounds mouth-watering and quite different from the usual 'french fries with aioli and tomato sauce', each bite broke our potato-loving hearts. Don't be fooled by the image, they were lacking in flavour and excitement. Necessary components of our beloved fries include crunchy exterior and soft interior whereas these were dry, too big and under-cooked. The chilli salt was meet with disappointment and the vanilla aoili tasted the same as regular aoili. Respect to the presentation and the description on the menu, but it was an attempt to cover-up what was regular roast potatoes. Quote from the meal: 'they just don't taste good'!

So sad when a side of fries is a disappointment, as a chip lover myself I understand the ultra excitement of ordering and the extreme anticipation of their arrival to the table... Thanks for the warning hotchip chicks..
ReplyDeleteHow deceiving... don't judge a fry by its cover.
