Potatoes 2: The Return of the Crisscut


     
     It's criss, it's cut, aaaand it's back! Jollibee's Crisscut returns to the fast food's menu. Is this a welcome come back, or should this old timer have just stayed out of the game? We put EAT to the TASTE.


     As you could recall, these fries come in two flavors; Zesty Cheese and Savory Barbeque. Much to our disappointment, the former was not aptly named; yes there was the cheese which we so zestly ate, but someone obviously forgot to put a memo on the spice in the flavor, not that we hate a little spice- it's just a little off putting. On the other hand, the Savory Barbeque did live up to its name- it was just the right amount of salty, peppery goodness that, yes, it was savory enough for us to enjoy.


     Of course, the quality of the fries stayed loyal to its original counterpart. Fresh and perfectly deep fried, meaning it was crisp on the outside and soft in the inside. The size of each cut however were both on the good and bad side for us. Firstly, the crisscut fries was almost twice or thrice the size of the regular fries that the flavors covered more of the potato's areas giving it more taste. This, sadly, also meant that there would be less pieces of these fries in the pack- as each would be bigger and heavier.


     The crisscut fries definitely puts the new (well, not so new) and the fresh (potatoes) to your regular french fries. Why eat the regular cut fries when you are 6 pesos away from the flavorful crisscut fries? ;D
