| Funny how things work- this thread made me think of how long it's been since I had a Mcdonalds, even though it's being compared to cropophilia- so I went to the one in Sukhumvit Rd Pattaya, next to the Siam World theme park last night.
I had the 'double cheeseburger' value meal, with orange juice instead of Coke for an extra 11bht.
Double cheeseburger- unfortunately it turns out they don't have the quarter pounder in Thailand (damn) so this substituted. It was fine- same standard as I would expect in Oz or anywhere else. Not to be confused with health food, but I quite enjoyed it. Nice and hot too, and the bun browned on the inside. This was not microwaved.
Fries- fine too, decently hot (luck of the draw maybe, they can be luke warm or even cold). Cooked as you'd expect shoestring fries to be (I prefer chips though), and salted.
OJ- absolute shite, disgustingly sweet. To their credit though, the lady manageress (who speaks good English) had told me it was 40% orange juice. The half or so that i finished probably had more sugar in it than I normally pollute my body with in a week. Next time I'll have water, or coffee. I don't think this shite should be allowed to be sold as OJ- orange cordial or something, OK.
All up, 120 bht. Quite expensive compared to what you could get from smaller vendors, particularly Thai food. I think McD's in HK is no more expensive than here in Thailand- an anomaly given local prices, maybe a bit of a rip off locally speaking- but as they say it's what the market will bear.
