Have you tried the fries from Taiwanese Brand – Ireland’s Potato located at Bugis #04-01? It’s an interesting concept… being a Taiwanese Franchise and calling themselves Ireland’s Potato. I just had to ask the owner about the history behind it.
You can read all about their history here but in summary, Ireland’s Potato is named as such because they are inspired by the Irish’s passion for potatoes (due to a potato famine). But this is a popular fries franchise hailing from Taiwan! And they are extremely popular there now!
How nice you can try your very own Ireland’s Potato here in Singapore too!
They are proud that their fries are like the LV of fries. The best of the best quality. They are completely cut from potatoes and some of them are up to 20cm long. All fries retain 70% of water so you can taste the potato in it! To make it more awesome, all orders are freshly made upon ordering (which explains why there’s a 5 minute wait for your food).
All the staff are really chirpy and friendly. They have some samplers for you too if you can’t make up your mind on what to order!
This is Alfred, the one behind Ireland’s Potato in Singapore. He is only 25yrs old and after trying the fries from Hong Kong, he decided to contact the main franchise owner in Taiwan and in June last year, he opened his very first Ireland’s Potato in Bugis +, Singapore. His dream is to bring the best food from all over the world to our sunny island.
“Hi Alfred, can I have……….too much food please!!” And I did get too much food!
Well here’s what I tried recently from Ireland’s Potato:
There are 3 main types of fries here: CREAMY, POWDERED and CHEESE-based. I decided to try one of each. :)
Best Seller, Honey Mustard Fries ($4.70) is a must try. The cream-based sauce is heavy on the honey, making it sweet and creamy. I got to say that the fries are very nicely fried, no oily, soft fries in my little tub. They were all crispy, and served warm.
This next one I tried is the Pepper Plum Powder ($4.50). This would be one from the POWDER series. I chose this as this was one of their Best Sellers as well. For those who don’t like cream much but still wanne have these yummy fries, do try this! Totally makes for a perfect movie snack can!! Cinema right upstairs only somemore. LOL!
Next up, CHEESE based fries! This Cheese Pizza Fries ($5.30) is designed to taste like Cheese Pizza and it totally does. If you love the taste of pizzas, do NOT miss this!
If you can’t make up your mind, then try the CREAM based dips!
From the top left, we have:
• Fruit Cream (3 fruits but the passion fruit taste is most outstanding)
• Sour Cream (I still prefer sour cream doused with spring onions! :))
• Honey Mustard (love)
• Wasabi Mayonnaise (I would love this to be more spicy but those who can’t take spicy will love the subtle taste of wasabi in this)
• Pickle Mayonnaise
• Yogurt Cream (this is a very interesting taste. Tastes like strawberry flavour yum-yums… TRY IT!)
Yes people, I am not done yet. This is my favourite dish from Ireland’s Potato!
The Blarney Chicken Wings ($4.10) is a MUST-TRY, comes in drumlets-form too. I would totally return just for this. This is as addictive as the Pizza Hut’s spicy drumlets. I bought more to bring home for supper too! *guilty* MUST-TRY OK!
Check out the succulent, juicy meat on this man.
Last but not least, let’s not forget another of their signatures, the Cheesy Baked Potato Skins ($8.90). It may be the most expensive item on their menu but it also has the most generous servings. For that price, you get 6 nicely toasted potato skins with freshly warmed cheese and bacons in it. Eat while it’s warm and dip it in the sour cream served alongside! These potato skins are lovingly handmade by their staff! They take the potato and scrap out the insides to get the lovely skin served to you!
It is really one of a kind. I felt very guilty eating that but I can’t deny it was tasty.
Drinks are pretty decent too. Check out their Royal Black Tea ($2.10) and the freshly-shaken-upon-order Honey Citron Tea ($3.50). The BF tried the sparkling drinks ($3.90 each but get it at $2.50 with any order of fries), I didn’t try any sparkling drink cos it’s just not my thing. He found it a little too sweet though.
They have heaps of combos for you to choose from so go take a look! :)
