MANILA - Potato Corner opened new stores in Thailand, Singapore and Cambodia in September in a bid to expand its Southeast Asia and global footprint, its operator Shakey's Pizza Asia Ventures Inc said on Wednesday.

The 3 new stores brought its total network to 1,300 globally, Shakey's Pizza Asia told the stock exchange.

The new stores are located in Suvarnabhumi Airport in Thailand, Lucky Plaza in Singapore and Chip Mong 271 Mega Mall in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, the company said.

“It’s a good brand that attracts not just Filipinos but also the locals in Singapore. It’s smart – flavored fries on the go – and streamlined. Potato Corner synergizes very well with the other brands in our food court like Shakey’s,” Shakey's franchisee in Singapore Wong Minying said during the opening.

Potato Corner has 14 stores in Singapore, the company said. More stores are set to open in Southeast Asia this quarter, Shakey's Pizza Asia Ventures said.

These guys have been around in Cambodia for years, been in AEON 1 since day 1.

Are they any good? They look like the kind of fries that come with fast food burgers.

Not from the local branches but maybe gives some idea of what is available:

On their own page they celebrated their one year anniversary in July 2018. Anyway here's a local menu:

Looks like they are using the Starbucks model of masking everything sound big. What happened to S M L XL

They're exactly that but with different flavors, no idea if you've been to America but they remind me of Checkers and Rally's fries.

Definitely not worth the inflated price they charge in aeon though...

I've had them a couple of times. They're the kind of food that makes you think you may as well buy the large ones but soon realise they get a bit sickly halfway through and wish you'd bought the smaller size.

I think I might just not get it. Nothing in this thread entices me to give this kind of food a try. Fries are just a side dish for me, and not even one of my favorite ones.
