of mojitos and other madness: everything with fries

having spotted the article by posh nosh a week or two ago in urban raving about the joint, this girl headed to this nice bright and cheery joint off east coast road last saturday, with a gang in tow. to be honest, i was a little worried having glanced at their menu on the website, that the choices might be a tad limited but we figured that with a name like 'everything with fries', the focus might be on the fries more than anything! e & e were of course stoked by the actual prospect of having literally everything with fries, so i guess we all entered the eatery with eager anticipation.

(1) drinks - check.

the kids literally fell in love with the nutella milkshake and the old school coke float. i didn't quite manage to get a pic of the nutella milkshake just cause the kids were fighting over who could have it, so apologies there. but i would recommend ordering it and sharing it because it is so sinfully yummy (think thick vanilla milkshake infused with hints of hazelnutty natella) that you might polish it off all by yourself and have no room for anything else!

(2) starters - check.

with a name like one egg soup, i would order it just to figure out what it is and how it tastes! it turned out to be a creamy chicken broth, thickened by one egg yolk and garnished with deep fried meringues. its pretty lemak so again, worth trying but do share just so that you have space for the mains!

(3) mains and fries - check.

between the six of us, we polished off a cheeseburger, a lamb burger, a grilled ham & cheese sandwich and a pork cutlet sandwich. off the lot, i would head back to just for another serving of the pork cutlet sandwich. breaded in seasoned panko breadcrumbs, the combination of the crisp cutlet, juicy moist meat together with a touch of mayo, fresh vegs and sweet old school buns, the pork cutlet sandwich really hit the spot. The cheeseburger would have been perfection if they slapped on a runny egg...it might have made eating slightly messier but i think it would have really completed the burger. The lamb burger was quite heavily spiced so if you aren't into spices, i would recommend just sticking with the good old pork cutlet. the ham & cheese sandwich was simple but chic. served hot of the griddler, the slices were thoroughly buttered, hugging layers of fresh ham and yummy melted emmental cheese. while i thought the fries would be the main feature, i think the mains stole the show. the fries came either thickly cut or in a shoe string style with a choice of original, curry, salt & vinegar, sour cream & onion or garlic & herb seasoning. nothing really to shout about, the seasonings didn't really come through as strongly as i expected and the fries well...were basically missing an oomph.

and finally (4) dessert - check.

we effectively only had to make one choice, since the nutella tart was a default selection. we ended with two tarts, one nutella and one pear. the nutella was definitely the better tart...with an oreo cookie base and slight pudding-ish texture. i think the panna cotta and creme brulee die hards would love the tart...i wasn't too wowed purely because i'm not a big pudding person. i think it would have been pretty cool if they managed to do like a nutella mousse or fudge tart instead...but that's just me *grin*

overall? definitely worth a visit, be it with friends or family. run by the folks that run awfully chocolate, and if it's cake business is anything to go by, this girl is sure that everything with fries will not only be refining its food but adding to its repertoire!
