New York Fries and Dip

(To the reader: Do know that as I am typing this, I have just swallowed my last piece of fries with the cheese dip I bought from NYFD. Yummy.)

New York Fries and Dip (NYFD, or simply New York Fries) is perhaps my favorite choice among places where you can get fries because of their extensive choice of dips available. I’m pretty biased as well because they have my favorite dressing of all – the honey-mustard dip. Their fries are cut thickly, and their dip isn’t too salty and is really tasty (although I’d like a bigger serving of the dip – it’s way too tiny for me), plus they use canola oil for frying their fries – not the healthiest oil option (EVOO, anyone?) but the best-tasting option for deep-frying those thickly-julienned potatoes (try frying with EVOO – I love EVOO, but I don’t like its strong taste for my fries) – which places these fries in my list of perfect snacks.

It’s amazing to know that it was a young entrepreneur who started the NYFD business in the Philippines. Before NYFD entered the picture, there were two types of places you can get fries: the cheap fries you can buy from the sidewalk vendors, with little servings and powder coatings (artificial flavors!) to flavor the fries, and of course, the fast-food chains, like Jollibee, McDonald’s, and KFC. Of course, having grown up in Canada, he must’ve been used to having more than just the regular fast food choices, so he brought his idea here and now NYFD has grown tremendously as a chain. Hopefully they add more to their sandwiches and fries, and to their choice of dips as well, in the near future.
