NYFD? The New York Fire Dept? The first agency who responded when the Twin Towers were hit in the 9/11 attacks and thus suffered mass casualty when the building collapsed? Of course not! What would they do in a food blog?? Still, I salute all the firemen and firewomen who lost their lives in trying to save the lives of others. Mabuhay kayo! But I digress, again.. :p NYFD stands for New York Fries and Dips. Many of you are probably familiar with this especially if you frequent NCCC Mall
in Matina. NYFD began their operations 3rd quarter of 2005 but I only discovered them November 2005 via DavaoSale (the ultimate online buy&sell portal here in Davao!). And damn, their fries are so HOT! The dips? Even better!!! So read on and salivate fries-aholics, hekhek!

NYFD
Location: 1st floor, in front the NCCC Mall entrance near Jollibee, underneath stairs (hard to locate at first.. they should transfer!!)
Why am I impressed: Their fries are hand cut (why am I so fascinated w/ hand-____? hand popped corn & now this!), large in size and so tender yet malaman. I can’t get over the feeling of the texture of their fries in my mouth, so different from all the fries I’ve tasted! They fry the fries in canola oil (correct me if I’m wrong) which is healthy and leaves a unique flavor. Yum! I’m the one salivating here, shucks! Should buy one later, hehe! But the best part is their dips! They have so many varieties to choose from and my absolute fave is the one with garlic. I just adore garlic! To my enemies, that’s the absolute proof that I’m not a blood-sucking bitch no matter how many times you may call me that. Hahahahaha!

Back to NYFD.. The fries come in different sizes petite, size 2, size 3 and grande! Petite is always unavailable but I tell you it won’t satisfy your cravings if you’re a fries-aholic. As for sizes 2 & 3, I forgot their names! LOL! I always buy size 3 which costs P60 but it’s worth it =D size 2 is good if you wanna try NYFD first. And if you can’t get enough of their delish fries, go get the grande! Costs a whooping P80 but it’s definitely money well-spent! Pwamis! NYFD also has other products like vegetable fries, toppings, onion rings, etc. But these are always unavailable! I’ve been bugging the stall handlers about the onion rings but all they can say is that there’s no stock yet. Arghhh!

The most unique thing about NYFD? Their packaging!
We’ve grown up with fries in paper or carton pouches that absorbs the oil which of course transfers to the hand holding the fries. Yech! Major turn-off if you’re on a date and is amenable with holding hands with your partner. Hehe! But with NYFD, nothing like that happens! Coz they place their fries in lined paper cups! Can’t get the picture? Think of coffee cups in dispensing machines, the hot choco cups from donut shops, and the likes. Thus, your hand stays oil-free (except the one for eating fries, yum!) which is best for HHWWPSSP in the malls. Hehe! ;D Famous last words: NYFD RULES!!!
