I get my fries from: Bonbird
Dipping them in: Whatever comes my way!
Great with: A generous portion of boneless chicken salt tenders.
Why you should do the same: Full disclosure: when we brainstormed this feature, I was the lone skeptic regarding the hype around fries. However, the chicken salt-coated fries at Bonbird have won me over! What’s great is that they usually leave you with a significant portion to enjoy later. I often repurpose them for a quirky take on okonomiyaki, a beloved Japanese dish!
How much: Dhs15.
