The last day at Lake Tahoe, we took our lunch at Burger King. Fast food ain't cheap and one meal cost about $6.95. But on the whole menu, there was a section that wrote "BK Value Menu" and everything under there was super duper cheap! I got really excited when I saw the Whopper Jr. going for just $1! Many items were also going at $1 like Double Cheeseburger, Spicy CHICK'N CRISP Sandwich, small onion rings, small fries, small soft drink and Chicken Tenders (4 pieces).
What awesome deals! We wanted to fill our stomachs, so budget we did! Many many of this and that burgers, many many fries, rings and tenders, and was it 1 small soft drink? Hahaha. Every fast food outlet has free flow drinks.
I ordered a double cheese burger and the chick n crisp burger and stacked them up!
So it's equivalent to a Mega Mac? No la. Burger King's burger volume is smaller than Macs. That's how I managed to eat the 7 patty one last time. But it felt good having so much to chew. Satisfying you know. I went Ikea once and had Grilled Dory with cream sauce. With fish being soft and easy to swallow, it felt like the food portion was very little. :(
We spent about $24~ for 6 of us? Nice. Super budget. Wish they have these $1 deals in Singapore too! :)

Those $1 meals are every where.
If they weren't so darned unhealthy, I'd eat them everyday.
To Gerome: Or perhaps you could eat them everyday but exercise to balance out the bad stuff. Actually, what's the difference between eating your own burgers and eating this burger?
It's still bad for you even after exercising because of all the sodium, cholesterol, fat and preservatives.
The difference between making your burger and eating the ones in fast food restaurants is exactly that.
Home cooked ingredients aren't as unhealthy. Less oil, less salt, less fat.
By the way, I don't know if you seen these videos, but my brother and I watch these Gordon Ramsay Cookalong Live videos on YouTube. Lots of information and they're usually less than 5 minutes long.

To Gerome: Imagine fast food home cooked style. Think that would work? Hahaha! I'll go take a look. Eh come online leh!
