Known for their Mod-Sin cuisine, Redpan ups their fries game by smothering it with a rich char siew ragout. Char Siew Chilli Fries ($7++) comes with a generous portion of chunky char siew chilli, sour cream and a refreshing jalapeno salsa to cut the richness. The char siew chilli is similar to a traditional beef chilli, but the familiar sweetness and smokiness of char siew gives it a much-welcomed local touch.

The combination of sweet and savoury never disappoints. Wolf Burgers’ S’mores Fries ($8) is made with crispy sweet potato fries, drizzled with honey, sprinkled with crunchy cereal bits for added flavour and texture, before finally being topped with marshmallows torched to ooey-gooey perfection.

4. Kimchi Carnitas Fries

Pass on the usual K-BBQ and head for some Ko-Mex (Korean-Mexican) cuisine at Vatos Urban Tacos. Kimchi Carnitas Fries ($18++) piles on the flavour with a huge serving of spiced shoestring fries, pulled pork and sauteed kimchi, all held together by melted cheese. This plate of indulgence is then topped with diced red onions and sour cream for freshness, and their special Vatos hot sauce for a good kick. So sinful, but so good.

House is home to a variety of unusual fries, and a must-try that can’t be found anywhere else is Pumpkin Hazelnut Fries ($12++).
