Carl's Jr @ 1 Utama

I know that it's a bit too late to highlight this burger joint as it has been on Malaysian shores for almost 2 years if you don't consider their exit many years ago under the MBF group. They're famous then for its free refills. Now, don't you think people remember the FREEbies better?!!

I finally have my cherry popped for Carl's Jr (sounds wrong but its true) yesterday at 1 Utama shopping centre. Running out of things to eat, we decided to have a taste of Carl's Jr. Yum... Lucky the queue wasn't too long and it wasn't too crowded which made the ordering a breeze. They will give you a tag with a number which is to be displayed on the edge of the table for them to deliver your orders. I guess they are short-staffed that night.

One tray of indulgence and lots of fat!

They have a wide variety of specialty burgers that you don't get from McDonalds. They may be similar to Burger King but they have better burgers and Burger King has better fries (although I still think that McDonalds fries rocks)! But when I was in London, I felt that Burger King fries is ze best! At Carl's Jr, they have burgers like Portobello Mushroom, Guacamole Bacon, Chilli Burger, Swiss Bacon and low carb burgers too! It comes with generous amount of cheese and also fresh lettuce (not like the limpy ones from golden arch). As for fries, I ordered the Chilli Beef Fries which looked so appetising. The beef fries actually tasted like coney dog.

The combo which includes a drink and french fries starts from RM15 - RM20++. The prices are not cheap and they probably will get you another few more burgers from McDonalds but the taste is really different. It's a totally different experience altogether. To rejoice, they have a free refill of soft drinks (they have Sarsi!), Channel Island Roasting Company tea and coffee and also a salsa bar! It's where you can keep drinking and drinking and topping pickles and tomatoes into your burgers!

See, how big the burger is?!!

It's really filling and it makes up for the premium pricing at Carl's Jr. It's an expensive fast food joint but at least you get quality western burgers here. I'll definitely come back and probably I should also try Wendy's soon. Cheers.
