When XO and I went to Haven Street the last time, we saw that there's a new branch of Frites Belgium on Tap on the street!  XO said that he's never been to Frites, so we decided to meet up last Tuesday.  He was going to skip tango that night, so he could feast on mussels and beer with me!  He went to the Mayday concert the previous night and was quite exhausted and ready to indulge on some Belgian food with me until he found out one of his favorite DJs was spinning the tunes that night!  He deci

When XO and I went to Haven Street the last time, we saw that there's a new branch of Frites Belgium on Tap on the street!  XO said that he's never been to Frites, so we decided to meet up last Tuesday.  He was going to skip tango that night, so he could feast on mussels and beer with me!  

He went to the Mayday concert the previous night and was quite exhausted and ready to indulge on some Belgian food with me until he found out one of his favorite DJs was spinning the tunes that night!  He decided to forego on a full dinner at Frites and just had a couple snacks while I feasted on yummy mussels!

I've been to the Wanchai and Quarry Bay branches of Frites, and this new branch has a similar decor!  It had really high ceilings, and the benches and tables make the restaurant look like an upscale beer hall!

Frites is Belgium on tap, so of course, they had a few beers on tap!

On top of the beers on tap, they also had an extensive drinks menu, titled Beer Bible!

I knew from the past that Frites offers fruit beers that I like, so I looked for the page with the fruit beers!  I saw that they had a strawberry beer and went for it!

Floris Fraise (Strawberry): I'm normally not a beer drinker, but fruit beers don't have a strong beer flavor, so I really like them!  This strawberry beer had a strong fruity flavor just as I expected, and it was an easy-drinking beer!  This beer is definitely not for those who love the flavor of beer because the actual beer flavor is very light.

Before having the mussels and fries, I had to balance the meal with some vegetables, so I ordered a Caesar Salad.

Classic Caesar Salade: The romaine lettuce in the salad was very fresh and crunchy, and the salad had a good amount of dressing but wasn't over-dressed.  Overall, a pretty good Caesar salad.

Next, I had what I came here for--the mussel pot!

Frites House Mussels: The mussels were plump and juicy, and the creamy sauce tasted very delicious with them!  The light creamy sauce was so good I couldn't stop myself from scooping it up with the mussel shells!The mussels were not really large in size, but the size was pretty average for mussels sold in Hong Kong.

The fries were light and crispy on the outside and soft and mushy on the inside!  They were perfect with the mayonnaise or dipped in the creamy sauce from the mussel pot!

The garlic bread that came with the mussel pot had a nice crispy crust and infused with aromatic garlic flavor.  The garlic bread and fries were so good that I had to share them with XO even though he only wanted his two light snacks!  XO definitely didn't regret on having some of my fries and the half slice of garlic bread!

This new branch of Frites Belgium on Tap is even closer to where I live than the other branches, and the food quality is just as good as the other branches!  So, now I can have mussel pots and other yummy Belgian dishes even more often at the convenient new location!
