Dependable, consistent and comfortable come to mind when thinking of Las Chicas as it achieves a balance of innovative dishes in a casual, pleasant atmosphere. A popular place for locals whether it be to cure a hangover or appease the craving for vegemite mushrooms. However, the sole objective today was to analyse and review the Chicas' esteemed salt n vinegar crinkled cut chips. An inspiring and delicious concept was met with great anticipation by myself, Juzz 'Sparky' Joffe, Oscar 'I've been eating chips for years' Hanner, Sam 'Meagan' Cahn and Georgia 'FOMO' Horovitz. When presented to us, an overwhelming and far too intense odour of vinegar emanated from the bowl but the chips appeared crispy and cooked to perfection. However, upon first bite, criticisms ensued. Firstly, the vinegar had produced a soggy sensation on the chips negating the necessary crispness. This was followed by a thickness in the aoili that was met with dismay. In saying that, as we dug deeper into the bowl, the chips appeared less soggy and we experienced the essential and delectable crunch. Kudos to the flavours and the design of crinkled cut but it lacked the moorish and addictive component that all potatoes generally achieve.
