I mentioned in a previous review that Carl's Jr is my favourite fast food outlet in Singapore. Step aside Macdonalds, Carl's Jr is the category of the big boys. With larger portions and thicker-cut fries that the golden arches, Carl's Jr is a place best for the hungry and army boys. Which is also why it is right up my alley. I usually opt for the Famous star cheese burger (which is easily one and a half times the size of a burger from McD) and make it a meal with fries and free flow of drink. Th
I usually opt for the Famous star cheese burger (which is easily one and a half times the size of a burger from McD) and make it a meal with fries and free flow of drink. This time, they were having a lunchtime promotion for their Famous star with chili cheese sauce so I opted for that while my dining partner had a breaded chicken sandwich.
My favourite part of every CJ meal would have to be the thick cut fries. They are deliciously satisfying to eat and seem to be a lot more flavourful than the stringy ones offered at McDs. Not to mention the free salsa bar at CJ means that you can pick and choose which salsa sauce you want with your meal! For drinks, I usually get the homemade tea and this is also a much healthier option because the tea is unsweetened so you can choose how much (or little) sugar you want to add in it. All for only $7.90 and free-flow of drink too!
On to the star of the show, sadly this time the burger was a disappointment. While I usually love the famous star with its thick beef patty and generous vegetable fillings, the chili cheese seemed to dominate the taste of the entire burger making everything taste like chili cheese. Which would have been wonderful if I had been a fan of chili cheese, but unfortunately, my tastebuds do not like angmoh chili very well. While it was not spicy, I have to say that it has an acquired taste that some of us may not be used to probably due to the spices they used. Next time, I'll just stick to my usual Famous star minus the chili cheese so that I can enjoy my burger just the way it is. If you're looking for a quick and value-for-money meal, do head down to Carl's Jr to try out their burgers and fries!
