Bala Ba Ba Ba

 
Bala Ba Ba Ba
Going for a Bala Ba Ba Ba is good once in a while. I usually get the prawn fillet or fish o fillet burgers - their "ham" burgers taste no so good and I much prefer Burger King but there aren't that many over here (two places).
How often do you Bala Ba Ba Ba?
The first ever Bala Ba Ba Ba commercial below.
And Ebi-chan below.

How often do I eat in these burger chains? hardly ever nowadays. They don't taste that good, too dry and full of oil and fat and what not. 

Probably go for jerk chicken, rice and peas now and again....

Like to eat healthy or try to anyways.

 I rarely go to mc donalds too. I prefer Wendys instead. They have much much larger and fresher burgers than mc donalds. Plus each meal comes with either salad, fries or chili beans and a drink. Overall, they have a much better meal than what you can get for the same price at Mc donald. Mc D is really my last resort if I was really low on money.

I know a guy who owns a Macdonald's, and he's told me very strange things about the food they make there...

Worst one being that their burgers are made from such strange stuff (which apparently is squeezed out of a tube? lol), that if they are not bought after 30 minutes of being made they have to be thrown out, as they will already start going off... whether it's true or not I can't say, but I can say I'll stay away from them, simply because they taste gross :P

I do like Their chips though, they taste almost sweet to me, it's very strange... but I like them.

I love fast junky food, but I avoid it as much as I can. 5 years since last I ate a Big Mac (or any fast food burguers), and another 5 years before the last time.
Ice creams/shakes though... I came close to eating almost every day couple of weeks ago. Very very bad.

And I must admit I do eat lots of unhealthy stuff.

I am currently fat, but still not that much obese.

But I am conscious on what I eat and the effects of it... problem is: eating good food is one of those things I can't just abandon...

Don't usually go to McDs when I'm in uni. Only go around twice/three times during the holidays. But, when I'm in Hong Kong with my family, we go there a lot. It's usually the easiest place to meet up since we all know the name and we all know where it is. Usually, too busy to eat there though, but their happy meal toys are a lot better than the UK. None of that stinky plastic cheapo toys. But don't try the tea...very bitter

I eat there a lot. It bugs me when people tell me I'm gonna be unhealthy and fat when I need to gain some weight and grow an ass. A lot of the foods there are actually a lot healthier than a salad full of dressing (which they have there too, so no point in arguing). And I love their prices. I think a lot of people hate that place because of pop culture, stereotypes, myths, and various social reasons. Honestly I see nothing horribly bad about McDonalds' food.

I frequent McDs these days since the one around here opened for 24hours.  I'm just a bit disappointed that there menus are not the same worldwide.  I love their fish fillet burger but find it a tad bit pricey. ^^

I'm with you Danny.  If I need to have a fast food hamburger, then I often prefer BK than McDs hamburgers.  I think it's the flame-broiling that makes a difference to me.

If I do decide to go Bala Ba Ba Ba, then I usually get Chicken Nuggets which are mighty tasty (especially with Sweet N' Sour sauce)

Just wanted to update my comment stating that I did in fact head to Burger King during my lunchtime.  Thanks for getting me in the mood for it Danny! XD

I go to Bala ba ba ba for their spicy fried chicken. Tastes WAY better than KFC's chicken. ^^;

lol "ham"burgers with... beef?

It might just be me but their burgers are a lot smaller than when I was little. Either I got bigger or they want people to lose some weight.

It's ok once in a while, but there's better food out there.
