Mak25 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I looked through various groceries but none offered frozen curly fries. Any idea where to buy in Bangkok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotheruser Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I love curly fries and have not seen them in a store in Thailand ever. Believe me I have searched high and low for them.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I have seen them before,but like a lot of products when they are sold out you never see them again,a couple of years ago there was a couple of people in the local market ,making and selling them, they had small machine,put the potato on a spike and turn the handle and you got curly fry type potato,which they then fried,but I suppose the price of potatoes did not make it profitable,yesterday the wife paid 50 Thb Kg for them. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't looking for them but I do buy frozen fries quite often, straight-cut and shoestring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotheruser Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Carl's junior was doing them awhile ago but always sold out when I tried to order. No idea if they are still on the menu. Elements in pattaya has very nice curly fries and a good seaview. But the fries were the highlight of an otherwise disappointing meal at a high price point.Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, i had to google them but these i have never eaten...i though they were the zigzag fries. This is made from starch, not fresh potato.

Thainess Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Don't buy them! They are terribly bad for your health and will cause you to get cancer and heart disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easybullet3 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I believe that VILLA MARKET on Soi 33 sukhumvit (bangkok) has them. i am not sure if the other villa markets have them as they often differ in their stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 These aren't curly fries, but they're criss-cross fries, similar. Frozen bags at Central Food Hall in CentralWorld. 600g bags for 119b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true,, but most package foods and anthing containing animal protein will cause heart disease, cancer, diabetes etc (if eaten regularly). the only true foods that dont do this are vegetables and fruit. anything else has a nasty thing waiting for you after 4 decades of consumption.

Mak25 Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Thx, still no luck. It's not about the shape but the seasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time I went back they were gone. Makro seems to get a bunch of overstock or things that an importer might have tried and ultimately decided was not viable. Now, I make them myself when I really have the craving. Find a Thai shop that sells stainless equipment to food vendors, and a big one will usually have a potato spiralizer. Thai restaurants use them for presentation of all kinds of vegetables. You won't exactly get the correct square springy shape, but it is close enough to pretend. Then it is just corn flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder (tough to find...buy it online), salt and chili pepper to taste. Use a milk/egg mixture to apply the batter to the potato. After a few attempts you'll be making them just like Arby's back home. You will need to develop some techniques for the potatoes, like dehydrating them in an oven and double frying. Nothing you can't learn about online with some study and experimenting. I've been thinking about commercializing them, but Thais don't seem to respond to them the way farangs do. Probably not a realistic opportunity. Might be possible to come up with something Thais would like by making them sweeter. Ever tried that TyChef paprika powder? Yuk. It's nasty. But Thais love the stuff. Anyway, suggest you learn to make them yourself. It is unlikely you will find a reliable supply of them anywhere.
