Eat up .. and move along is the message that McDonald’s is telling their customers in England. Else risk getting fine ..! And I’m so not kidding. At 40 McDonald’s in England drive thru’ customers were given 45 mins to finish their meals and leave the parking lot before a $225 ticket is issued. Apparently this was brought about because people were abusing their parking privileges at the establishments. And if you do not pay the fine, the fee rises and McDonald’s will take you to court for it.

We see awful loitering outside and inside of our famous coffee place - Tim Hortons. Perhaps Tim Hortons should take a page outta what McDonald’s is doing ..?? Maybe that would keep the people from blocking the door at Tim Hortons.. and the awful cigarette butts all of the entrance of Tim Hortons.

This is only a summer thing with Macdonalds, just like their lobster sandwich. Every summer.. the Macdonalds here do try to bring in something new for limited period. Many years ago, when the American dollars were great.. we get alot of Americans coming over just because of the lobster sandwich. I kid you not..!! This Vanilla Ice Coffee just started about a week ago. But you have to make sure you tell them to give you more ice.. because the first 2 times i bought it.. it wasn’t that cold.. and quite sweet. So with more ice.. it actually tasted good. In anticipation of a hot summer.. this $1.39 Vanilla Ice Coffee is a great thing.

Another new thing for KFC, a meal for one consist of a miserable drumstick, a snacker, some fries, 4 cheesesticks and a drink. The cheeseticks were so-so .. and the snacker had mayo.. you can drown in it.. the fries were so-so too. Overall, a ok meal.. but i wouldn’t eat that again.. as it was about $6.99 + tax.. not really worth it.

A closer look at the meal.

As usual we didn’t know what to have for lunch.. everything was yakkie.. even chinese food didn’t entice me no more. Knowing that the man prefers KFC to Mickey D .. i checked on KFC’s website to see if there was anything interesting. I found the KFC Chicken Bowl, which promises layers of flavor, with mashed potatoes and gravy, then corn on it.. and then pop corn chicken and some 3 blend cheese. Well.. as you can see here… it looked like a blorp of something. It was alright. but nothing fantastic… but i doubt i would eat it again.

Certainly didn’t looked anything like the poster eh..?? but at $3.99 .. .cannot complain lah.

It was such a ripped off.. eating here. We arrived at 8.15pm.. even though they had said.. that they have their buffet table opened to 9.30pm.. in their advertisement. Boasting of 100 over dishes to choose from and sushi for weekend dinners. Alas, the food was none to be found… and sushi was pathetic.. !! the roasted meat was horrid.. and the charges were exorbitant. At $15.95 for an adult.. during the weekends.. which they didn’t state clearly at all, because they said their prices starts from $9.99 and for a child .. at $5.75. For almost $40 canadian dollars.. we hardly ate anything. The food was absolutely horrid.. and no .. there weren’t no 100 dishes. It was the worst food I’ve eaten since coming to Canada. We will not visit Dragon Buffet King ever again.

Hot and Sour Soup from the buffet table tasted horrid, there was no taste whatsoever to it. I took a spoonful .. and that was it folks.

(more…)

Our stop was to Burger King. I haven’t had a whopper for so long.. but what a disappointment. The burger was so-so.. they had so much pickles in it.. i was almost choking of pickles. The burger was soaked with ketchup.. already put into the burger by BK staff… I donch mind the ketchup.. but that’s abit too much donch you think..?? Well.. at least the onion rings were ok… albeit expensive.
