Ireland's Potato Midvalley Review

Ireland's Potato is a Hong Kong franchise that made its way to Malaysia. Initially, I thought this was an Ireland franchise. Guess this could justify the high price of their food hehe.. Anyway, back to the review.

Purchased some coupons for Ireland's Potato from mydeal.com.my few weeks ago. So decided to use them since we were in midvalley.

We went to the Lower Ground floor to look for this potato outlet. Upon reaching the place, we noticed the place was empty. Maybe its a bit early to be munching on high calorie potatoes at 11am?

We stepped up to the counter and got ready to place our order. For the chips we ordered the Sour Cream and Wasabi Mayo flavor. Besides that we also ordered Onion Rings and Mashed Potato. The guy at the cashier (chinese guy with glasses) was unfriendly and left us with a bad first impression of the place. Guess its Hong Kong's hospitality their showing and not Ireland's.


The wasabi mayo was the first to be tasted. There was a mild wasabi flavor but was overwhelmed by the sweet mayo.

Next was the Sour Cream. The initial taste was tasteless, but later realised the wasabi flavor numbed the sour cream. After a few bites, the flavor started to kick in. Nothing spectacular, its sour cream after all.

Mashed potato was next on the list. OOh yumm this was nicee. The mash was light and fluffy the way it should be and the meat sauce was just delicious!

Onion rings were crisp and were definitely better than the ones served in burger king (that's the only other place I've had onion rings).

Overall it was an OK experience. Service was a bit of downer but the food is great for potato lovers. The menu has great variety mostly involving potatoes. Chips and mash with a plenty of sauces, potato skin's and miscellaneous deep fried stuff. Price wise, it is on the expensive side. A cup of potato chips with the "standard" sauces will set you back RM8.80. Throw in a side dish and a drink and it'll cost you RM16.80.

Anyway as a potato lover, I'll probably be back at very least to try the special cheddar cheese potato chips. Its RM11.80 a cup, but there's just something about the marriage between cheese and potatoes that I just have to try.
