Beef fries specialist, frités goes out of business

Frités, the beloved fries joint famous for their loaded beef fries, announced the closing of their 114 Arab Street outlet on 22 Jun through an Instagram post a few days back.

Since bursting into the F&B scene in 2023 with their viral-loaded fries — think truffle‑infused beef, spicy garlic aioli, and indulgent cheesy drizzles — frités quickly became a local favourite. This Muslim-owned establishment captured the attention of foodies across Singapore, earning high praise on the internet.

They went on to open their first and only standalone outlet at Arab Street in Sep 2023, selling their signature crispy golden fries loaded with sauces from an eye-catching yellow kiosk.

Frités’ best-selling combos include the Cheesy Loaded Beef (S$11) and Truffle Loaded Beef (S$11). More recently, they’ve come out with a trendy series of Loaded Chachos in a Bag (S$11), which are essentially nachos topped with your choice of protein and sauces, all snuggled into a chip packet.

Over their 2 years of business, frités has been a vendor at countless events and pop-ups, including Celebfest, TWILIGHT: Flea & Feast, and even this year’s installation of the largest Ramadan Geylang Serai Bazaar.

In response to frités’ closure announcement, many netizens expressed disappointment over the news, while also voicing their curiosity about the reason behind the shutdown.

For fans eager to indulge one last time, frités invites you to swing by Arab Street before they close for good. Their past pop‑ups suggest they may still offer event or mall pop-ups in the future, though nothing’s been confirmed yet.

So, don’t miss your chance to savour frités’ loaded beef fries from now till 22 Jun, and as per their Instagram caption, “Let’s go out with a loaded bang!”
