Not too long ago we decided to try the award-winning (apparently) Dutch french fries from Holland which opened in the second half of 2018 at Holland Piazza in Holland Village.

Found the menu hard to understand and the staff wasn’t very good at explaining the various sauces.

Personally, I think there are too many sauces to choose from and it’s hard to figure out what flavour each sauce is, when it isn’t very self-explanatory (e.g. the Kerrie sauce).

You’ll have to make a guess or read reviews online to figure it out. (Kerrie sauce is apparently kind of like BBQ sauce but more sweet and tangy.)

I decided to go with the frites sauce with tomato and basil. It’s basically sour cream with salsa on thick cut fries made from Holland potatoes. The salsa is nice, but to me good salsa is readily available (e.g. at most Mexican food establishments).

Price-wise, I think it’s rather expensive for loaded fries. But they do have a 2 for $10 promotion on their small fries with onion and frite sauce which might be a tastier combo and probably more value-for-money!

Ambience is so-so, there is a really strong outdoor air-conditioner/fan type of machine. The outdoor seating is on a slope covered with fake grass. The whole atmosphere feels.. like a staged replica of a European beer garden or outdoor area of a pub. There is also a lot of sun even though there is some shade provided by the outdoor patio umbrella.

Would I come here again? Probably not as I wasn’t very impressed by the Dutch fries and not something I would crave. Felt like it was missing something, maybe we chose the wrong sauce and onions would’ve been a better match with fries? Anyway McDonald’s french fries or KFC’s cheese fries are good enough for me and definitely less messy!
