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.
