The complete guide to the different types of fries in S’pore & why they matter

Fries should be the best thing about potatoes that ever happened. It gets you hooked and you’ll definitely order one for yourself if you’re any of the shops for a meal. And don’t even mention sharing fries because there’s no way that will happen.

Here’s the complete guide to the different types of fries (that we cannot get enough of) in Singapore and why they matter!

Cheese fries
You can’t say no to cheese fries. The delicious fries covered in melted yellow goodness is just too hard to resist. Cheese fries can be found pretty much everywhere, ranging from the restaurants to your neighbourhood KFC outlet.

Kimchi fries
With the Korean fried chicken wave arriving in Singapore, we are now able to eat the Kimchi flavoured fries. Most Korean fried chicken restaurants sell Kimchi fries, such as Chicken Up and 4 Fingers.

And before you say, chey kimchi powder only, get this: Chicken Up’s Kimchi Fries has meat and real kimchi doused generously on their fries. Yes, it’s just that good.

Seaweed fries
Seaweed fries seem to be a seasonal ‘thing’ in Singapore. You’ll either have to wait for MacDonald’s or I love Taimei’s seasonal seaweed shaker fries to be back.

Twister fries
You know how we get all excited when MacDonald’s twister fries is back. It’s always curly fries over normal french fries, you can never share curly fries with someone. It’s too much.

Truffle fries
Truffle fries are still very popular now with café-hoppers, and can be found in most restaurants and cafes. We have no idea how truffle oil made it so tasty, but truffle fries are not to be missed.

Sweet potato fries
Sweet potato fans or not, this is the fries you definitely have to try! These crispy orange fries will make you fall in love with sweet potatoes. You can try them at BWB (Burgers, Wings, Bar) or Arteastiq if you haven’t already!

Chilli crab cheese fries
Rooftop bar Loof has one of the most uniquely flavoured fries: their signature Chilli crab cheese fries to go along with your drinks. It is slightly spicy with a tinge of sweetness, all combined with the melted cheese.

Chilli cheese fries
If you eat beef and you go to Carl’s Junior, there’s no way you will miss out on their chilli cheese fries. Sweet, succulent beef generously served over a serving of fries, what else can be better? If you eat beef and you have not tried their chilli cheese fries, what are you waiting for?
