You can call me slow. But after soooooooooooo long, I finally visited Carls Jr @ Marina Square last Saturday.
Went to visit Expensive Steve again to get my eyes review & he said the condition was so bad he had to gouge one eye out. Kidding, he says the condition is good so I ain't have to be concerned with the uncomfort I was experiencing for the last few days.
Visited aunty at Taka for awhile before I headed to MS. Walked alittle then headed for lunch.
I should had done some "homework" before visiting Carls Jr. For I was alittle lost when I was in the queue, with bad eyesight that I could not make up what to order. Some1 infront of me order something bacon so I scrutinised the menu board to find "Western Bacon Cheeseburger" & Double Western. I wasn't greedy so I ordered a WBC. When asked if I wanted a combo I said okie. I regretted so. You will find out later why. $9.30 for a medium combo meal, it's kinda expensive fastfood if you compare to places like Mac & BK.
So there I had this number tag, and a cup. You get to choose your own drink. I did not dare to try their lemon tea so I sticked to the good'ole Season from the dispenser.
Waiting for my meal to be served.
Here it comes..
Gulp~ such a big burger, now you know why I regretted ordering a combo.
So there I was happily exploring this new fast food, flipping the burger open to take a peep inside and slowly bites by bites exploring the new taste. The peep told me the burger was made up of 1st the bun, huge it may look like but luckily it was soft bun so it wasn't too much for me to take despite it looking UFO HUGE. Next we have 2 stripes bacon, nicely grilled, crispy and it gives the burger a nice touch of aroma. Then the cheese & the char-broiled beef patty which turned out to be "chao-ta" on the other side. But I didn't ask for a exhange.. Who would be so silly to ask for an exchange when you are already half done (see below). Oh, by now already I could feel 60% full. Take note of the full pack of fries still smiling widely at me. I tot that was all the burger gave me when I was mid way eh, how come got crispy bites again 1? I flipped open the bun & peep again.. I saw onion rings.. hello? did I say ONION RINGS? Yes, 2 big fat ones. Fun, the crispy skin gave the burger extra bite & the idea to have onion rings inside the burger is fun. I mean yeah I used to see people stuffing french fries into their Mac Burgers. so I guess the logic is same. Nice. The BBQ sauce was the best, tangy smokey, heights the olfactory sensation entirely.
I must say their portions are huge. I see many couple sharing a burger & getting more then 1 side dish. I should do that in my next visits. After completing the burger, I spent the next 30mins slowly looking at people & munching fries. Until my sensory says, no more stop. So I pick up sticks the fries and have to put them to waste. I was too free, I counted I left 18 behind, auspicious number, hee hee... my order number was 37. Any 4D freaks?? Karen 1st time give lobang on her bloggie... 1, 8, 3, 7.. shui leh.. hee..
There were so many items on their menu when I ws surfing on their webbie, must go visit them a few more times. People date me for Carls Jr lunch soon yeah. And I also want to try their condiments bar the next time cos I see their salsa is a popular pick in my 1hr stay there. I was alone so I wasn't too adventurous this time. I also want to do their chili burger. I am so into Subway's chili so I am sure their chilli would be nice too.. Somewhat like our zhe char's prickled green chili. Okie okie these food talking is making me hungry liao. I am going to pack and go home for soup now.
Oh before I go.
