Lord of the Fries


I am back dudes and dudettes! The reason behind my many many weeks of abandonment would be cause my family came to Melbourne for a week. So imagine the adventures and places i went for 6 days! PLUS, a few days after my parents flight back to Kuala Lumpur, I went on an excursion to Great Ocean Road! Yay! So, i will have tons to write about places and food. =)

First stop, Lord of the Fries!

Location:
26 Elizabeth Street
Melbourne VIC 3000
(Corner of Flinders St and Elizabeth St)
OR
at many other locations in Victoria. (Flinders's Street Station, Melbourne Central's Knox Lane, Northland and Chadstone, both near the cinema)

Operating Hours:
All generally start from 10.30am till 10pm. But on specific days, till 3 or 4am.






Verdict:
Before i even tasted or rather, SMELT any morsel of food from this franchise fast-food-take-away outlet, i have already heard wonderful ravings about the fries and burgers from people. And i bet there would be about a hundred reviews on this joint itself in various sites. So it ought'ta mean something right? And! The name would already be attractive enough to capture your interest in a moment of passing. =)

The pros
  1. I am not much of a fast food junkie but THIS Fries with Indian Sauce would be the best fry dip i have ever tasted! Well, to be honest, the only fry dip i had is tomato sauce, chili or mayo. So this is different for me! And the indian sauce, as deceptive as it sounds, isnt "curry-ish" looking. It doesnt have a slightest hint of red for crying out loud. Its pasty white Spicy Mango Chutney mixed with Coriander. And this sauce is special cause on your 1st bite, you wouldnt think its delicious at all, but the more you eat, the BETTER it gets! My mum and bro devoured the whole thing right before my eyes. =,=
  2. 10 sauces to choose from.
  3. It's Vegan and Gluten-free friendly! (Burgers only) 
  4. Heard the Burgers are the best!
  5. Burger's available in mini sizes.
  6. They prepared the fries and burger patties healthily. (Refer to site for methods)
  7. 3 offered meal deals (eg. 1 fries, 1 regular burger, 1 drink - $11.85) Have a look at the menu on the site! =)



















    The cons
    1. Its icky and oily and unhealthy! (Sorry fry lovers ><)
    2. Though they might claim it's the "best tasting" in their site, i think their fries were pretty ordinary. Like my cousin says, nothing beats McDonald's fries. Agreed? =)
    3. Its icky and oily and unhealthy!!!

    But i would really hope to try the burgers one day. I've heard great reviews with word tags such as phenomenal, best, etc....from Google Map reviews. It's enough to make me go back some day =)

    Au revoir!
