The Moley Prophet

The long awaited third review… King of Burgers

Burger King

Date visited: 2 November 2006
Time visited: 6:00PM
Outlet: Jurong East IMM
Queue: None
Food ordered: Wopper Jr Meal UPSIZE
Price:$6.10

Time for food to arrive: Approx. 2 minutes (8/10)
The food came quite fast. Able to match the standards of McDonald's. Probably because there wasn't any queue. The last time I went there, it took almost 20 minutes including waiting for Ben to get his food first.

Food quality: Average (5/10)
The burger is just average. The beef patty didn't taste real good. The fried were quite horrible. Totally bland. And the chilli sucks. I need good food!

Satiety: (7/10)
Even after finishing the drink, I can still take in a chicken cutlet. It was probably due to the disgusting fries and the kind of small burger.

Value: (6/10)
Not that bad value. But they should provide better quality food to match the price. They should also be more generous with giving out of the sauces. I heard they are charging 10cents for mayonaise. Even the Megabites in school doesn't charge anything.

Packaging: (9/10)
Not bad packaging. However, there is some catching up to do compared to MOS Burger.

Ambience: (6/10)
Didn't really look at the cleanliness. It looks quite tidy at a glimpse. However, the lightings totally spoils the mood. Restaurants, no matter what kind of restaurants should be aware that lighting is a key factor to ambience. Warm light is the best choice.

Overall: (6.8/10)
Another long established chain losing to newly expanding new comer. The main thing for Burger King to look at will be their degrading food quality and ambience of the place. I find that the ambience differs from outlet to outlet. If I did not remember wrongly, the outlet at westmall has better ambience than this. Time to revise the menu and see what is added into the fries as well.
