Food Porn: "Animal Fries"

I had posted about ‘Chicken Quesadilla’ before in IL-LENGAN and it is located in Baguio City, Philippines. A local restaurant near my house and I decided to have some snacks today. While I was checking on the menu, ‘animal fries’ captured my attention. Thus, I got the order and quite impressed with such simple snack for the day. The meal has shredded onion leaves, some tidbits of ham, sliced potatoes, and condiments. Moreover, I was still puzzled why the restaurant called its name. “Do you like fries?” “Do you love having snacks?” Image Credit: Shavkat

I had this crazy imagination. Thinking that the shredded onions are like grasses. Then, I am a mammal-eating it.

@LadyDuck I agree. I can't see the logic to name the meal such an animal.

Wow. The name of the food is catchy. It's like their marketing strategy to encourage customers to buy coz customers will surely be curious about it's look and taste. And they succeeded because you bought it.
