The Sweet & Spicy
A fiery twist on the classic Spice Bag, made with Strong Roots Sweet Potato Fries for a spice-and-sweet hit. Layered with bold Chinese spices,
garlic-infused red, green and yellow peppers, onions and crispy garlic, and a rich curry sauce, this dish delivers a flavour combo that hits every taste bud.
The Fiery Punch
Not for the faint-hearted, this one brings the fire! Strong Roots Sweet Potato Fries are loaded with crispy tofu, black bean rayu, pickled chilies
and deep umami flavour, delivering maximum heat with a hint of sweetness. Served with lashings of curry sauce for even more sauciness
and spice.
The Classic Kick
A nostalgic nod to the original chipper takeaway, featuring Golden Strong Roots Crispy Skinny Fries tossed with sautéed red and green peppers, onions,
warming Chinese spices, and crispy fried tofu, all drenched in Robin’s indulgent curry sauce.
