Yesterday, I dropped by John Strongbow’s Tavern in Old Town Alexandria, and it turned out they just released a new menu (not reflected on their site yet).
I saw an item, Strongbow’s Fritters, which promised to be something that crossed donuts and meat.
This was my most literal usage of the phrase “Amaze-balls” ever.
The outside was very crispy and the inside was extremely soft.
It was creamy and a bit sweet, but the sort of sweet Asian food usually has.
It was sort of a British version of this kind of dim sum (for that review, go here)
I’m struggling for a better description because the flavors were so unique.
The texture was great. Â The crispiness of the outside went really well with the soft, creamy inside.
The dipping sauce was berry based and tasty, but I preferred just eating them plain.
They were so good, I neglected an item that is usually my favorite (and was quite good too):
Sweet potato fries with a honey mustard dipping sauce.
I need to take Keri and go back and write a more comprehensive review because the wine list was really extensive and very well priced.
They had a lot of big tables for large groups so maybe this is a possible good meet-up location in the future!
Anything to get more of those donuts… mmm….
Looks more like a Croquette?

It looks like that in the picture, but the dough and inside texture are nothing like a croquette in real life. It’s sorta like a filled donut, but with lots of filling. (It’s called a fritter on the menu, but it is closest to a donut I think).
