Nachos Part 3: The Cheesoning

Nachos.  Fried tortilla chips covered in cheese, meat, sour cream, and salsa.  

Not in the Philippines. More like fried siomai wrappers cut into triangles, meat, ketchup, cabbage, and mayonnaise. 

Hurriedly walking across the mall I saw this happening:


Be still my beating heart. Look at all that melted cheese! Nachos with french fries topped with ground beef and thick melted cheese? My stomach started calling and placed an order for two of those.


Everything he sells is topped with cheese.  Hungarian sausage. French fries. Mojos. Bread.  All slathered with melted cheese.  Take a closer look.


What would you call your little booth where you sell fried food covered in cheese?


Two orders of nachos with fries for take out.  So how did they turn out?


The chips are not tortilla chips.  They look and taste like fried siomai wrappers cut into triangles. There is definitely shredded cabbage in the mix. He said he covered the nachos in cheese sauce as well as the melted cheese.  He did not put the mayonnaise because I said please don't. That hot sauce is very hot. But I've never been a hot sauce fan.

The big selling point is the cheese.  But rather than melt down into the nachos the cheese solidified into a thick large piece that had to be cut in order to scoop it onto the chip. Tasty but not very elegant. Over all these nachos are very nice. The french fries offer an unexpected pairing. Of course it's all about the cheese.  It's too bad that the cheese hardened like a lava field rather than melt all over and get everything extra gooey and cheesy. 

Certainly much better than Zark's lame nachos.
