Rock & Ash (Fries, Dips, Coffee)

We were walking back from Marina Square to Esplanade MRT and chance upon this new store which looks pretty interesting! This place would have been easily missed out since it was located in a more deserted spot of the mall.











Rock & Ash

The menu that was displayed - was quite interesting and attractive to lure the 2 foodies in :)













And was surprised to find that the place was really quite cozy and made us felt at home.














The counter














Love the interior design!

Since we were not too hungry, we settled for some light bites! And we really took a while to decide since there were really an extensive selection of sweet, savoury and spicy homemade dips! So this was what we ordered!





















Large Rockin' fries with spicy cheese sauce ($4.90)

Fries are fried on the spot to ensure freshness and that we are sure of piping hot fries will be served to us, so you can expect waiting time of about 5 mins or so and they will request for your name so when the fries are ready, they would call out your name for collection.

The fries used are the more fluffier kind which are thicker and softer (similar to what's served in MOS Burger) and lightly salted.

The Spicy cheese dip seems very harmless, but wait till you tried it!














The dip has a strong cheesy taste and some chilli flakes in there (if you look at the picture closely enough) Not sure what they have used, but it definitely has the power of chilli padi! Very shiok and spicy dip indeed!















We also ordered an additional dip for $1 - Lemon Curd sauce which was tagged as the "Must try" by Rock & Ash.

Next we tried the lemon curd dip which the texture was a little jam-like spread but slightly thicker. The lemon curd was zesty, not too sour and has an appropriate level of sweetness to it! Surprisingly refreshing and a new twist to dips!

Both Picky Girlfriend and Fussy Boyfriend Rating for Fries with dips: 3/5

However the both of us really love the atmosphere there, is a good place to chill so rating can go up to 3.5/5! We will definitely be back to try the other food!

KFC Popcorn Shake

While passing by KFC today, we realised they have something new in their menu so decided to try this out. Believe many would have tried their popcorn chicken before but this is the shaker version.

Seems like a trend that fast food restaurants are into "shakes" nowadays! Fries first and now bite sized chicken. Wonder what will be next :)




















KFC Popcorn Shake $3.30

Closer look after including the shaker powder.













Surprisingly, it wasn't as salty as we imagined it would be despite putting in all the powder in the given pack. The chicken did not seem to be able to 'hold' the powder and most ended up at the bottom which is probably the reason why it wasn't too salty.

Only slightly spicy and definitely a quick bite if you are craving for fried food and do not want to get your fingers dirty. And we like the fact that it is crispy on the outside and tender in the inside :)





















And currently they have this promotion that allows you to purchase a cup of Nescafe Frappe at only $1 (Usual price $2.60) which both Picky Girlfriend and Fussy Boyfriend thought was quite a good deal though the taste was rather normal.


Tips:
With the pack size, is quite an ideal choice to "smuggle" into cinema (at your own risk of course!)
