Snacking in NYC

 




New York City, NY


Otafuku and Pommes Frites

Two place that each do one thing and do it right... One does octopus balls and the other does french fries or "pommes frites".. It's genius idea! Octopus balls with a sweet glaze... French fries served in a cone with a billion different sauces to choose from... Life doesn't get any better, does it?


Otafuku



Octopus Balls with Takoyaki Sauce

On the menu it's labeled as "Unsweetened ball pancake with Takoyaki sauce". When eaten, it's slightly crunchy on the outside, very hot and moist on the inside. I've never had it before... I didn't know what to expect. It was delightful! The sauce is sweet but not over-powering, it's a perfect match for the octopus balls.. it's also topped with some shavings. Gotta try these! =)


Pommes Frites Menu Board of Sauces



Pommes Frites in a Cone

Pommes Frites.. They make French Fries... yes, that's all they do! lol Large steak fries which aren't as bad because they actually absorb less oil, but the sauces are the main thing here.. A huge selection of sauces ranging from Mexican Ketchup to Roasted Garlic Mayo to exotic ones like Vietnamese Pineapple Mayo... All very interesting and very tasty! Both hole-in-the-walls make for a wonderful treat, don't miss out!

Overall Rating:   1/2 (out of 7 )

Pommes Frites definitely sounds amazingly good.

Have you ever tried my favorite southern treat? You'd be surprised how good it is..."French Fry Sandwiches"!

There is a restaurant here in Huntington, European Republic, that makes pommes frites. Its very good, they do have some other offerings like potato ginger soup. The first time I ever had that was in another "hole in the wall" in Portland, Maine. They served a burger and fries in this little basket and then you got to sample all the different sauces. It was a blast.
