I’m Obsessed With The Addictive BBQ Pork-Covered Fries At This Scrumptious Asian Eatery In Oregon

From hand-cut to frozen to fast food, French fries are pretty much always good, especially dipped in ketchup. But the dirty fries at Oma's Hideaway in Southeast Portland are out-of-this-world.

This much-celebrated restaurant wows with a delicious assortment of Asian flavors, including a killer piled-high burger, amazing chewy noodles, and a deeply satisfying parsnip and squash curry served with handmade flaky Malaysian flatbread. But, best of all, is the addictive salted egg yolk curry fries with char siu burnt ends BBQ pork. I can't get this fantastic dish out of my mind! The drinks, service, and decor are fabulous as well.

I had driven by this wonderful dinner spot for years before finally trying it — and I'm so glad I did!

Every dish I've had — I've now eaten there three times in the past few months — has been exquisite.

This elevated dirty fry's menu description — salted egg yolk butter sauce, fermented serrano, scallion, and sambal ketchup — gave me pause but it's the perfect combination.

And those pork "burnt ends" are the best part. I'd happily eat a meal of just those!

I'd like to try everything on the menu.

The chewy yellow noodle with pork and crispy pork and shrimp wonton is another very popular dish.

The lemongrass grilled chicken is another winner.

I'm planning to try the sticky fried ribs next.
