Not For The Faint Hearted

Recently, McDonald's and Burger King have come up with very very appealing promotions. Definitely (read title).

Ooh yea! :)


Now that's what I'm talking about! :D

When both came out, I was really excited about it! I wanted to try it as soon I as could. Opportunity came one Saturday when I met my parents at Central. We were thinking where to eat and I initiated to go BK for dinner. My parents were not really hungry since they just came from a high tea celebration. However, they didn't mind going. From the advertisement, the BK Quad Stacker looked like it could challenge Carl's Jr.'s burgers in size or even beat it. I had to try it!

So I ordered the meal which cost $10.45 and I upsized it as well. I felt the price was steep because the Mega Mac meal only costs $7.45. That's a plate of char sao sao rou fan (Char Siew with Roasted Pork Rice) more! When the worker placed my burger on the tray, I got a surprise because it wasn't as big as I thought it would be! Even my father's Whopper was larger in diameter but lost in height. It was roughly 10-11cm wide. Putting that dissappointment aside, I gave my first bite. Mmm, a lot more meatier. :)

After chowing down till 1/4 of the burger left, I just did a count of the number of patties and I got a 2nd surprise! There were only 3 patties! Could I have eaten 1 whole patty? Maybe, but not likely because the melted cheese would have glued them together. Could the maker have placed the patty in an offset postion? Not possible because the wrapping was not jutting out. My father wanted to have some action so he complained about it to the manager and they gave me a whole new one! This time after unwrapping, the patty count was correct and I chowed it down. :D

I tried both Mega Mac and Mega McSpicy as well and to me, the winner among the 3 is the Mega McSpicy. It had the oomph and 'fill the stomach' factor. It even comes with a sticker on the box which I took it with me. Haha.
