From Burger King to Mie Tarik
If you ask me what's my choice of non-local burger I'd say Burger King. I remember those sweet times years ago, I always go to BK next to KFC in Melawai, Blok M. Whenever my family goes to KFC, I ran to get my burger and went back to eat with them. But it wasn't for long cause in the 90's, BK stops its operation in Indo. Nobody knows for sure why, but I guess Indo people prefers chicken than burgers. Consider myself lucky cause until now I still got a chance to taste at least one of its menu when I go visiting my wife or business trip abroad.
Now in 2007, one of Indo's leading franchising company brought "the king" back to Jakarta. I have seen the big sign "BK: Opening Soon" in Senayan City for quite some time. And today's the day for burgers lover to taste double whopper or other delicacy there....hmm I sounded like one of BK's guy.
The story goes, this morning few friends claimed "its already open!" Tempted by the juicy BK burger, erm.. we were hungry at the time, me and few guys went down to Senayan City, ofcourse to have some BK yesssssss. Guess what, it wasn't open yet! Well, not until tomorrow. We were too busy imagining what its like to taste BK again and didn't even bother to look at the papers for opening schedule (Kompas put a quarter page of adverts this morning). What a bummer!
After confirming with one of the staff there, we went upstairs to food court. Me ordered that nice fresh noodle (yes the one with 2 chinese natives) with KFC bento as a "desert" :-)
When I was ordering my crispy chicken noodle, I overheard a bunch of girls beside me talking in dissapoinment because they too looking forward to have a bite of BK. Ha! I guess a lot of people didn't read the morning papers today.
What?! I ordered Double Whopper and turns out like this??
