Previously saw pictures of the Apple Sal Sal, so came here for it, I was puzzled by the name, after trying it, I could relate the name to it. The apple in the hot dog was so finely diced, about 3-4 mm, almost like sand, and the apple was mixed with chili making it like Salsa.

The hot dog itself was presented nicely, and thought was put in to how the wrapper would be wrapped around the hotdog. Even the ingredients itself, they cleverly used a romaine lettuce leaf the size of the sausage to hold the sausage and apple so it doesn’t fall over the place.
The apples that were diced finely gave the apple a different perspective, because they were diced so small it made it taste slightly different, it was like firm juicy little bits. I did not expect the apple to be spicy, but even though it was mixed with chili, it tasted good just like Salsa.
Instead of the normal frankfurters they used the nuremburg sausage which goes much better with the apple, a bit like roast pork and apple.
The bun for the hot dog was good too, it matched quite well.

Improvements: The apple was good, but when they serve it, they should ensure all the sauce is drained out before placing it on the bread. The sausage could have been hotter.
When I ate it, it became very messy, as I needed to tilt out all the watery sauce from the filling, and it also made the bread soggy.

Chips with lobster and cheese sauce:
This far surpassed my expectations, because these chips were freshly cut and fried, its like a better version of NYF, and slightly thicker cut than NYF too.
The chips were lovely and white, but crunchy on the outside, and moist inside, the sauce was not the usual cheese, gravy etc.

Mexican pudding: it was slightly different to what I expected, I was expecting it to taste like Horchata the mexican drink, and it was slightly over sweet.

Hygiene: there was a pesky fly there, so I had to keep ushering it away from my food.

Décor: reminded me of Topping, but a brighter version, also the sauce holder was a cute bench table.
