BKK - The Fast Food Chains

GF secretly harboured a plan to try all the different types of fastfood in BKK. Everywhere we go she would drop hints to me.

Gf: "dear look. There's a _*insert the fastfood chain*_ there. Wonder how their food taste like"
Me: "erh like how _*insert the fastfood chain*_ should taste like?"
Gf: "No, it's different. Come you should try it."
Me: "orh..."


Burger King and MacDonalds



Me : "Sh*t... i need to go to the toilet. Drank too much water liao"
Gf : "Hey look. There's a Mac nearby. Use their toilet and maybe we can take five, sit down and have a ice-cold coke or something there too."
Me : "okie."

After the deed was done, i met up with GF at the counter.

Gf : "you wanna share a meal with me?"
Me : "huh? orr okie."
Gf : "Nuggets or MacChicken or 2-piece meal?"
Me : "Large coke will do."
Gf to Mac-staff : "2-piece meal, upsize"

So this was what we ordered. A 2-piece chicken meal. One piece was the original and the other a hot and spicy one. And i must say GF was damn right on this. Their Chicken taste much better than ours. Worth mentioning was the Spicy one. The meat was pipping hot, juices from the piece was making a mess out of every little piece of tissues we have. Not really a creative choice but Mac in BKK do offer some safe options should one wishes for some familar taste. Call 1711 for their delivery service ;) i'm loving it.

A&W

We managed to find this A&W by asking around. From the BTS counters to the tourism police to just about anyone. Ever since A&W pulled out of Singapore, GF have been craving for some good old Root Beer Float and curly fries. Well, all in the good name of seeking out fast food chains in BKK.



Okie so the float was decent, the curly fries were okie, but the chicken was bad. It was too dry and lacks any flavour. Only the skin did have some flavours of salt and peppers being used. Now we know why they have to pulled out of Singapore. My fondest memories of A&W was spending time after class at the outlet in Clementi for a root beer float and curly fries. Back den the food was still decent. Looking at how things are getting, i have come to believe Mary Brown at Tampines stands a better chance of surviving than A&W.

And if u do have a SO like mine, who pledge to seek out all fast food joints, ask her to give A&W in BKK a miss. Even the Grillers at Tiong Bahru Plaza L4 does a better job than them. Not to mention you dun have to fly overseas for a tall glass of root beer float.

8O oh no! I am fast becoming a fast food junkie myself!~!~!~!~!~

Oh by the way, we tried the KFC at the Bangkok Airport on our way back. Nothing worth mentioning. I'll take Singapore's KFC anytime over theirs.
