The famous French fries that has won the championship for 2 times

#Songkran2024Travel A famous Belgian food that is known all over the world is Belgian Frites, or French Fries. It is said that it originated in southern Belgium and is very popular. It is sold at street stalls as a snack with various sauces and eaten with almost every main dish. Some people joke that it is the “National side dish” of Belgians. So when you have the chance to travel to Belgium, you must try the Frites that they say are delicious. There are more than 3,000 Friteries throughout Belgium. Therefore, the competition is usually high. It is so serious that every year, Belgians nationwide vote for the restaurant that makes the most delicious Belgian Frites. The judges are based solely on their Belgian Frites skills and do not care about other dishes. The restaurant that wins the vote will be the champion for 1 year and then vote again the following year. Among the restaurants that were previously awarded The Best Fryer of Belgium, De Frietboetiek in Meeuwen won the vote twice, in 2014 and 2016. Although the owner of the title has now changed to another restaurant, the prestige of being a two-time champion makes it worth a try. 🍽 Menu we tried We ordered the main dish because we had to have Belgian Frites as a side dish anyway. If you don't want the salad, the price is even cheaper. ➡️ Reuze Schnitzel with Fresh Salad – It's made into several large steaks. The pork is medium-soft. The cream sauce that's poured on top is very creamy. The salad is quite good. It uses a variety of fresh vegetables. ➡️ Pitta with Fresh Salad – Thinly sliced ​​chicken served with Pitta filling. But because we chose Belgian Frites as a side dish, there was no bread. This dish is tasty and not too greasy. For the Belgain Frites that comes with both menus, there is already ready-made mayonnaise. But in true Belgian Frites style, there are many sauces to choose from, which can be ordered but have to be paid for more. We chose Curry Sauce and Andalouse Sauce – a popular Belgian sauce made from ketchup, mayonnaise and bell peppers – which go well with the Frites. ➡️ Belgian Frites (Side dish) – I have to comment separately because this is the star dish that I intended to try. Speaking of which, I have eaten a lot of French fries that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, but here, the outside is even crispier than anywhere else I have ever tried. The inside is still soft as usual and not greasy at all.
