Not So Big and Not So Tasty

I’ve been trying to lose a few pounds in the last couple of years weeks but I had to give in to the latest addition to the McDonald’s Philippines’ menu– the Big N’ Tasty. I also thought it’s a great way to cheer me up after the bogus turnout of the Pacquiao and Bradley match.

So I went to the nearest McDonald’s to overwhelm my senses. Well, at least, that’s what their ad says about the burger…

A large meal (burger, drink, fries) costs 165php. The burger patty is the same size with what they use for the Quarter Pounder. Tomato, check. Lettuce, check. Onions, check. Cheese, check. Smokey Sauce… I didn’t really taste the smokiness. Maybe the kitchen crew didn’t put enough. *shrugs*

The box says True Greatness, and I simply must disagree. I lovelovelove McDonald’s but it’s a letdown for me. Not saying that I hated the taste, it’s just that it wasn’t what I was expecting. Nothing impressive about this product. It’s just so-so. 😦  But hey, I was pretty full after eating the meal. Which is a mystery how I manged to devour a plateful of TGIF’s Nachos after 2 hours… Hehe.

My True Happy Meal

image

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of McDonald’s. I’ve loved it since I was a little girl. I didn’t care if I was the only one who wanted school supplies printed with Grimace’s cute, weird face when all of my classmates were crazy over Jollibee (that gay insect). Well, I never cared for Ronald. I will never like clowns. *cringe*

I had a medium Big Mac meal for breakfast yesterday.

It was almost a year since I last had one so I savored every bite of the Bic Mac, pausing every other bite to say ang sarap ang sarap saraaaapppp. When it came to the last bite, I looked at it and said goodbye. It was a truly satisfying meal. It will always be my true happy meal. 🙂

I love you, McDonald’s forever and ever! 🙂
