Food ordered: Longevity Meal (Changed soft drink to Milo +20cts)
Price: $6.50
Time for food to arrive: Quick (9.5/10)
It took just about a minute for my food to arrive from the point I order to the point when it's packed and ready. It could have been faster though. The guy who was serving me was rather blur and wasn't helping with the packing while his colleague was doing it.
Food quality: Average (4.5/10)
Rubbish. The burger is called Prosperity Burger. But I guess, you become more of broke then prosperous after you finish the burger. They added too much black pepper that all you taste is… black pepper. You get sick after eating it. The burger was small. Very small. I don't agree with Willy Wonka here that something big will become small on print or tele. Its rather they upsized it on print. The only savior was the fries.
Satiety: (7/10)
I feel full after the meal, though I thought it was because I had some other stuff before.
Value: (6/10)
The freaking burger was so small. The meal costs $6.50 and yet, as compared to a meal at Burger King, its burger is atom size! I just went through the prices of its French Fries today and found out that it has increased from $2.00 to $2.60 (60 freaking cents!) in just 5 years or so. The good thing about Mac is they never giam on the sauces.
Packaging: (8/10)
Packaging was ok ok. Nothing much to say about.
Ambience: (8/10)
Correct set of lights used. Feels comfortable and cozy around
Overall: (7.16/10)
Not bad results overall. I guess they have to improve on their food and also recalculate the pricings. I believe this is far from burgernomics.
