A Moment of Weakness
What do you do when you are tired, hungry and weak after spending a reasonable time walking, and on your feet? You would want to find a place, sit down and have some food.
So, my friend and I were at the Gardens by the Bay, and I was exhausted after the walking, and weak from hunger. The nearest food center was quite a distance away, and the chi chi restaurants would burn a hole in my pocket. This was where McDonalds came to my rescue – it being the nearest eatery, affordable and fast.
Ever since I learned that fast food is not healthy food, I have stayed away from all fast food joints. On an average, I may have had McDonalds, once or twice a year. I am sure there were some years when I didn’t have any. But occasionally, I still crave for a burger, or some fried chicken. On this occasion, the craving, the temptation was too strong. Hence, in a moment of weakness – of mind and body, I succumbed.
Their Special this month is the Angus beef with mushrooms. The burger in the poster looked juicy, creamy and mouth watering. However, this was what I got. A very dry looking burger.
I knew well enough that the food I would be getting was never going to be like the one in the picture, but still, I hoped against hope that I will be proven wrong. Anyway, I was too hungry to care.
I ordered the set – a burger, potato wedges and a coke.
There was a promotion of two, 6 pieces of nuggets for the price of one, if you use their App. My friend had their App. So, we went ahead and ordered the chicken nuggets too. I said I was hungry didn’t I.
Here was the full meal. It was as good as fast food goes. After this, I was satiated – till the next craving.
I guess there is a reason why fast food is so popular, and they will never go away. It is convenient, affordable and fast. It’s also ‘international food’. Their brand, their aggressive marketing, and their regular promotional ‘Specials’ also helped entice people to give them a try. Till the next time...

I recommend burger king whopper that is really big and good for what you get.
I look forward to that too. Unfortunately, over here, McDonalds is bigger than Burger King. It is not so easy to find a Burger King outlet.
I was very tempted today when an app I had offered a free whopper burger, but i have slipped a bit over the last week and was able to resist, but only just LOL
Fast food isnt the best for it but sometimes we just have to have a splurge
Absolutely. I think we should be nice to ourselves once in a while. Don't think too much and just go for it. 😀
I think tomorrow may be that day for me :) will see how the day goes LOL
👍 😊
Man that looks good sir Vincent! I haven't been to McDonalds for years, I need to go pig out!
That was what I was doing pigging out. It has been a while for me too.
That taste is quite different from local cuisine though, is McDonalds doing well there?
McDonalds is the number 1 fast food joint here. Somehow, through their aggressive advertising, they have managed to convince the youngsters and the not so young to eat their burgers. They are all over the place on the island.
Oh! That surprises me, it's such a Western taste. What about Mexican food?
There are also Mexican restaurants here, but they are not as popular.
