LazerLordz SG Wandered past Carl's Jr yesterday.. Combo meals at $12.90, a single burger costs $7.50.Sounds steep eh?
Rhonda SG Wow, yeah. Depends though... was that single burger gargantuan with a lot of sides? Y'know, 'American size'?
LazerLordz SG 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.
Rhonda SG 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. 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!!
Rhonda SG Yeah... like Bear's favourite $10 Burger at MM - don't fret the price cause it is well worth it!
rainee SG I have craving for local food all the time over here, and it is not easy to get...The nearest local food restaurant is like 2 hours away from where I am staying now So bo bian but to learn how to cook local dishes myself
tare SG now got alot of those ready made stuff leh.... like laksa soup base, bah ku teh etc.... next time u come back for holiday, get stock!!!!
LazerLordz SG Do you crave for ban mian on a winter's night?My friend in Cardiff does and I get drowned by her voice craving for it.
rainee SG the next time I come back would be after my graduation, so no need liao lor This is the perfect time for me to hone my cooking skill anyway Never really had any chance to cook before I came over here...
rainee SG orh..I think I know what you mean... hmm no leh, I don't really have craving for that...maybe cos I know how to make soups and noodles in soup...I always crave for things I don't know how to make... like bak chang...anyone got tip must let me know
