Posted in East Village Food Tour on March 14th, 2010 by Terry – 2 CommentsOn our East Village Tour, you get to experience premium and unique Belgian fries. Pomme Frites, with over 990 reviews on Yelp and every review site rating it almost perfect, is an essential destination for any New Yorker or tourist. They have over 25 different flavorful, exotic, and delicious sauces ranging from Mango Mayo to Irish Curry! Then you have their Belgian fries that are freshly cut everyday just right in the back of the eatery. Their potatoes are fried twice to its perfection: first time the potatoes are cooked through, and the second time provides the golden and crispiness to the fries.
With every bite you experience a small crunch and then an explosion of flavor from your dipping sauce. The most fun and unique part is just trying various SAUCES because they can be sweet or savory having Asian, European, and American influences. One of the most popular flavors is Vietnamese Pineapple Mayo. You can taste the sweet flavor of the pineapple combined with garlic and mayo, giving the sauce more intensity and fattiness. When you eat sauces like Parmesan Peppercorn Mayo, it is as if you are eating cheese or peppercorns itself; the flavors permeate your mouth, leaving you astounded by its blaring similarity to the original food. Other sauces like Peanut Satay or Barbeque remind you of eating meat instead of fries because they providing smoky sweet flavors. All sauces should be sampled, savored, and tried again.
By the time you reach the last fry, it is guaranteed that your mouth will yearn for more. On our East Village tour, you are able to try at least 7 different sauces at once with their homemade tasty Belgian fries.
