Pommes Frites

On a random walkabout home, a few FBM friends and I stopped by the Pommes Frites store. We wanted something to eat right after eating some pretty lame dim sum (to come in another post). If you don't know about Pommes Frites, it's a Belgian fries storefront that offers perfectly fried potatoes with a plethora of dipping sauces.

I always get the regular ($4.50) to share because it's really a lot of fries. On this day, I didn't buy any but munched on just one or two. Why so little? Well we just ate. And I was walking home from Chinatown to Hell's Kitchen to burn off calories and digest.

But I mainly ate the two fries in order to try the dipping sauces ($1 each): Vietnamese Pineapple Mayo and Roasted Garlic Mayo. I really wanted to try the pineapple so I took a fry. However, it didn't do it for me. It really tasted like pineapple but I don't think I enjoy the combination of pineapple and fries together. Now roasted garlic? Yes, please.

Pommes Frites is the hole in the wall type place that is great for a snack (or meal is ordering by yourself) or a late night after drinking meal. Either way, I'm glad it's become a staple in the East Village.
