Carl's Jr

Wandered past Carl's Jr yesterday..
Combo meals at $12.90, a single burger costs $7.50.Sounds steep eh? -
Wow, yeah. Depends though... was that single burger gargantuan with a lot of sides?Originally posted by LazerLordz:Wandered past Carl's Jr yesterday..

Y'know, 'American size'? -
It had two beef patties, two slices of cheese..not sure about the rest.You can't see too well when you're peering through the metal shutters.Originally posted by Rhonda:Wow, yeah. Depends though... was that single burger gargantuan with a lot of sides? Y'know, 'American size'?

if it comes with american serving then it is fine.

Well, considering that there's a sizeable Caucasian expatriate population here, and considering that there are a disproportionately larger number of sarong party girls to erm... 'cater to' that same Caucasian expat population, Carl's Jr might just find a niche.Originally posted by LazerLordz:It had two beef patties, two slices of cheese..not sure about the rest.You can't see too well when you're peering through the metal shutters.
I guess you just can't underestimate the value of 'hometown' food when you're away in a foreign land and homesick.
I'm on homeground but I've had serious cravings for Popeye's and Krispy Kremes (doughnuts), both American chains, since I returned from my considerably short trips.
It got sooooo bad that when Popeye's opened their one and only precious precious branch in Changi Airport Terminal 1, I just had to go all the way there, to stuff my face with Popeye's!
Didn't care that the price was steeper than similar establishments here. The food just brought back a whole flood of memories!!
So, imagine if you're a local living in Australia and found out that Prima opened a restaurant in your area. Laksa that costs four times what it does in Singapore? To heck with it, you've just gotta eat it!! -
Yeah... like Bear's favourite $10 Burger at MM - don't fret the price cause it is well worth it!Originally posted by dragg:if it comes with american serving then it is fine.
