These are one-time limited edition menu from Singapore's McDonalds. The burgers can be a bit messy to eat, but it's nice, and the fries with the seaweed powder is just so heavenly.

You know, that does sound like a great way to get salt onto the fries.

I had green tea Swiss roll with whipped cream and a side of sweet red beans for my dessert today :)

I haven't had it yet. I'll have it later. Your desert sounds delicious. Never heard of sweet red beans. Might have to look into it


Sweet red bean soup with sticky rice balls is nice too :)

Ohh, definitely give that a try. You can skip the traditional salt and just out seaweed flakes on those fries.

Actually pretty delicious. I think Truffle fries are much more common, but I personally prefer this one. Not too salty, not too weird-tasting.

Also yeah, this was Singapore's McDonalds. It's not exactly gourmet since it's fast food, but it's honestly pretty good, and not just because I am paid by Ronald McDonald to sponsor it. :P I like fast food in the middle. I don't entirely not eat them out of health, but I also make sure that you know, I have a healthy amount of fruits, vegs, and good meat + rice. For these lazy days... Fast food!

There was a place in Santa Cruz, California called McDharma's which served fresh vegetarian food. McDonald's sued them and put them out of business. They made really good falafel and salads.

From all fast food chains, I guess that Hesburger is my favorite, so I picked ''other''. That said, it has been quite a long time since I last visited a fast food restaurant due of the fact that I only go to them when friends or family bring me along, and I don't visit them on my own, so perhaps I could fall under the last category too.

Subway is bigger than McDonalds in the US I think.

Actually, different sources say different stuff. Some Sa McDon, some say Sub.

Nah, McDonalds. Subway might be a good second but McDonald's is almost synonymous with fast food.

I used to work for McDonalds. It sucks whenever a store changes hands from one franchise to another. On paper it's like being let go and immediately hired by someone else. Everyone lost accumulated benefits and it was like being a new employee again.
