I went to McDonald’s for lunch today and wanted to order a Big Mac. Later then, I saw a new burger right next to Big Mac burger poster and it’s Big N’ Tasty. Since there’s a new word on it, I ordered it instead of Big Mac for a try. It’s RM10.30 before tax. I got to tell you that everything in McDonald’s is getting more expensive now, need to pay more than the red paper note RM10 because of the taxes.
Anyway, let’s check out the burger. When I saw it, it gives no surprise to me. It’s just like a normal Big Mac but with a bigger piece of beef in my opinion, more vegetable, tomatoes slices and a piece of cheese.
From wikipedia,
The Big N’ Tasty is a hamburger, consisting of a quarter-pound, or 4 ounces (110 g), beef patty, sesame seed bun, lettuce, tomato slice, mayonnaise, ketchup, chopped onions, two pickle slices, and grill seasoning. Cheese can be added on request.
The Big Tasty configuration is somewhat different, consisting of a third-pound beef patty, 5-inch sesame seed bun, square-cut lettuce, two tomato slices, Big Tasty sauce (which has a smoke flavor), sliced onions and three slices of Emmental cheese.
Somehow, after trying this I tell myself I’m gonna stick with Big Mac or Chicken McDeluxe next time. It’s just, er…. expensive.
Now, with every large value male or a la carte of large french fries, you get the shaker powder for free.

The portion is shrinking with the price increase of everything. When I paid ~RM8 for the fillet-o-fish set I kept thinking of how many burgers I can make at home myself

I will make more burgers at home, freeze them and pass them to you. It would be RM9.99 inclusive of tax. Delivery free. See! it’s won’t cost more than a red note.
Note: The Government has decided to round up to the nearest digit for all Malaysian coins… meaning RM9.99 would be rounded up to RM10.00 <— still not above RM10 right? Haha

I’ve found as Macca’s quality and size goes down, the prices go up. I remember the good ol’ days when we could go to McDonalds and get a large value meal for $4.95. Now the large ones are about $8.95 each or something - needless to say, I don’t eat McDonalds anymore!
