Fast-food hall of fame

Wendy's comes to Jaya ONE PJ!

I have to say... I have never been a big fan of Wendy's ... but..

I give the staff props for friendliness and their charming disposition.. Everything CAN!

Can I have hot and spicy as well as original chicken in the SAME order ?


DSC09019
CAN!

Can I return my coke for a refund because i wanted sprite? ... CAN!

And

Anyway, the reason why Wendy's fails to knock my socks off is because, if we are talking burger for burger,
Wendy's burger just LACKS a distinctive taste.

Like Burger King, has that killer Char-grilled taste. Signature.

Mac Donald's (though sometimes disgusting when cold) - that first bite into a piping hot BigMac, has that stinky, cheesy, secret saucy smell, that any kid can tell apart from any other burger, blind folded. Signature.

So, where does Wendy fit in/rank in my fast-food Burger hall of fame... ?

A far third..

But that is just my opinion:D
(I wish they would bring In-N-Out to Malaysia).

Got nice name though, this girl. Pray dun tell she got no feel. We also think she looks awfully boobly big for her age

What will ugly Ramly say ?

HairyBerry said...

there's something about McD's buns that made them aptly soft. and that gherkins/sour cream combo for the filet-o-fish...perfect.

sorry ar, i forgot you were talking about wendy's...hehehe...

I know exactly what you mean. Had Wendy's years ago in Jakarta and it just wasn't the same.

Kinda agree on the "lack of distinctive taste".

Julian Si said...

I'll still give the burgers here a go, despite my efforts NOT to each time, each time I go to Jaya One .. I always end up in DucKing Restaurant haha :-)

I like these best ...

one of the major grouch is the dry burger buns, eg. KFC, A&W etc.

Wendy's a bit different, but still not anywhere near McD's standard.

Carl's JR burgers are hits and misses. some good, some bad. only McD churns out the best.

Burger King's Whopper and French Chicken are good choices, others not really.

ya, i wrote an essay virtually about how there used to be a wendy's in front of hock lee's when i was a young man of 21, and started work. i used to love their shrimp burger, so when i saw wendy's in jogja, i had to have it, but pttttttttooooooooi, it was awful!!! i guess some memories of our youth arent quite the same these days....

Ciki said...

oh no..! i missed a whole essay! lol.. but this one, i got;) and i get what you mean.. i wonder if my stomach out-grew wendy's or if wendy's just got worse with time.. hard2tell:D

Tummythoz said...

I oni remember their congee .. not that it was good but convenient for a teen (me many many many moons) who's sick but still want to hang out at a fast food joint.

Ciki said...

tummythoz:
wow.. u must have really dug the congee ;P

D said...

When did Wendy's have fried chicken? And it looks pretty decent too!

Ciki said...

d:
helo! the chicken was alrite.. original btr than spicy- spicy had too much MSG and pepper

Anonymous said...

the korean bbq place opposite that sounds like a fast fd joint but in fact no has very decent chicken meal..try it out

Precious Pea said...

Haha..you know, i always try my luck at KFC for a piece of original and hot & spicy each in my set but they insist that they can't do that! Just don't understand why. Old Colonel must learn from Ms Young Wendy now. HAHA!

Anonymous said...

I have yet to try Wend'ys T_T It looks tempting alright but the price is.... ok I am cheap lolz.

wmw said...

I come here for the shrimp burger! It's the only thing that's different from the rest (oh, and Frosty on Fridays too...hehehe)
