Today was a Golden Opportunity for me. After some money laundering, I get to eat at Burger King after so many years.
Burger King
When it came to fast-food Burgers, my choice was always the Big Mac from the Clownhouse. It was not until my Friend and I visited Burger King that I fell in love with the Whopper. When our orders came, those thick fries were a game changer. By the time I've finished with it, I could barely touch the burger. I really wanted to but I'd get myself killed.
However, it was not everytime I get to have a Whopper. From where I used to stay, the Clownhouse was the obvious choice and now, its the Sugar Bear. I would know there is a Burger King nearby once I get the whiff of its distinctive aroma. However, getting through its doors was another story. But today, its here and I have time to spare since the errand would not be completed until the hour is up.

Entering the premises, I was one of the two customers, which is very unusual since it is also 1030 in the morning. The whole place was cool, neat and clean while the Staff greeted me. Then I remembered the Israel Boycott.

My order came in less than 5 minutes and this time, I see can see that I am able to finish the Burger. Lying beneath the order is a paper coupon for great discounts for my future visit.

I was about to look for straws until I too another look at my cup. The cover design has done away with the straw. It was a great idea but because the whole cup was airtight, I had to make a small hole so the cup would not deflate everytime I took a sip. Maybe one of the four holes can be punched out but I'll have to find out on my next opportunity.

The fries again, was great albeit a little cold. But I can feel them starting to fill my stomach.

The sauce packets are quite difficult to open. You use your (non-oily) fingers to teat off the left half which is good but the tear stops in the middle which I then had to cut them open. The chili was sweet and so, it became more like a sweet sauce to me.

Finally, the Whopper. It smells great and although not as visually appetizing like the ones shown (for illustration purposes) on the screen.

The main star would be that beef burger itself. The whole burger tasted very good especially those crunchy tomatoes and its sauce. But for me, it was always the onions. In any burger, if they had fresh crunchy onions, I would be happy, never mind the burger itself. So, I was hoping for more onions.
