Fries are something that everybody loves. Period. Whether they are thin-cut, curly, shoestring-style or topped with decadent sauces as a poutine, these deep-fried spud sticks are something that’s impossible to hate—unless you’re allergic to potatoes.

McDonald’s may set the benchmark for French fries, but here are 14 places in Singapore that sell pretty solid fries—have fun indulging!

25 DEGREES SINGAPORE

Bringing its signature West Coast flavour to Singapore, 25 Degrees Burgers & Liquor Bar is a gourmet American burger joint from Los Angeles which serves up a myriad of gourmet burgers, milkshakes, beer and wine at reasonable prices and is even rumoured to be a cult favourite among many Hollywood stars.

Their burgers may be their main stars, but let’s not forget the supporting roles as well, namely their Curly Fries. These glorious bad boys are much better than your average fast-food joint version.

CHICKEN UP – BEEF BULGOGI FRIES

Chicken Up’s beef bulgogi fries deserve endless praises. Who knew that beef slices and french fries could go so well together?

What makes a good plate of fries? There are many attributes and factors, but we believe that as long as your fries are so good that you cannot stop munching on them until the plate or bowl is wiped clean, then they are helluva great fries. You know, like how after an almost ethereal first bite and you are hooked. Forever.

The best fries can be pretty easy to spot – glistening golden sticks, deep-fried to perfection. Perfection comes in the form of a warm fluffy centre and a crisp and tasty outer layer. Yes, we kid you not – we worship fries, but only because they make us happier people.

We thank all Heavens for the many places in Singapore that serve an amazing plate of fries with different varieties to choose from. Here are our picks of the 14 Best Fries You Can Find in Singapore that are worth the calories!

CHICK CAN – POUTINE FRIES

There are not many places in Singapore where you can find authentic Poutine—a Canadian dish which originated from Québec.

For the uninitiated, Poutine is made with French fries and cheese curds sprinkled on top, then topped off with a drizzle of light brown sauce. Imagine our delight when we found out that it is part of Chick Can Rotisserie’s menu!

The fresh cut fries are crispy on the outside with soft interiors, and goes well with the generous portions of chicken cubes and twirling cheese curds doused in brown gravy. There is a good balance between the main ingredients which made it a hit among those at the table.

EVERYTHING WITH FRIES – CURRY FRIES

The name of the restaurant literally beckons – you can never miss out on this. Even after six years, the fries are still as good, if not better than when we had them way back then. If you think truffle fries are boring and overrated, you need not settle, because there is something even better here – Curry Fries (S$8).

Yes, this humongous sharing plate is for just S$8 and we honestly cannot get sick of it. Our favourite flavour yet!

FISH & CHICKS

Salted egg yolk all day every day. When we learned about a Salted Egg Yolk Shaker Fries on Fish & Chicks’ menu, we were ecstatic, to say the least.

The salted egg yolk seasoning and the fresh, hot fries made a beautiful pairing. And because it is a shaker, you can decide whether you want to add more or less of the seasoning, but we went all out.

Salted egg yolk sauce has been all the rage over and we agree that it is more than amazing.
