The One When I'm Lovin' It

I'm sure everyone here knows what the icon 'Big M' stands for and I'm sure everyone here has been there at least once in their life. I don't know about you guys but I love Mc D more than any other fast-food restaurants. I know there are other fast-food restaurants that serve better burgers (Burger King) but there ain't no fast-food chain bigger and more popular than the 'Big M'.

I always thought these food chains serve the same menu all over the world until I went to Singapore a couple of years ago. They had this Double Fillet-O-Fish (which Malaysia didn't have until later). As a person who isn't so crazy about fish, it wasn't a big deal for me. I was like "Who cares if they have Double Fillet-O-Fish? I don't eat them anyways". I don't remember ordering a Fillet-O-Fish meal at Mc Donald's ever. However, if you have been to Mc D with me for a few times, you'll notice that I will order only the Double Cheeseburger meal.

I'm a meat lover, I must admit and the Big Mac is really too big for me so the Double Cheese is really ideal for me. It has pickles, cheese and more importantly, two beef patties. Then the Quarter Pounder came. I sticked to my Double Cheese until my friend, Addy, asked me to go for the Quarter Pounder because the meat is much juicier. Since then, my only meal sets were the Double Cheese and Quarter Pounder. I thought Mc Donald's had nothing more to offer me until I came to UK. May I present you, Bacon Cheeseburger!



When we first saw it, we all knew we had to try it. It wasn't that expensive as it only cost a pound. But it was just a small burger and wasn't as satisfying and filling. Something was till missing. This small burger can't replace my love for the Double Cheese or for the Quarter Pounder. Then came something else, something huge. I was in London when I first saw it. I knew this was it. I am sure the person who came up with the idea was a genius (and was probably fat). Double Quarter Pounder!


did you see the size of that baby?

As I was eating that burger, I was thinking how good it was and how Addy would have enjoyed it too. He was a Quarter Pounder lover. I hope they will offer this burger back in Malaysia soon. I doubt the Bacon Cheeseburger will be offered though.

By the way, they only have tomato ketchup in their fast-food restaurants. They do not have any chilli sauce. In fact, burger stalls and the stadium too. They don't have any chilli sauce. Either they don't like it or they just don't have it. I think they prefer mustard sauce. They have brown sauce, mustard sauce and tomato sauce but they just don't have any chilli sauce.

Their fast food there has lots of bacon/ham... but lots of fat also :P.

Oh and the McD in Malaysia finally realized their pricing for Double Cheeseburger was wrong. Used to be Cheeseburger was $2.40 and Double Cheeseburger $2.50 (no typo there!)...they only adjusted th price recently.
