ThaiRebound Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hi All, I hope this doesn't come off as petty, but I am annoyed that I cannot get a hot burger or chicken sandwich at BK's or McDonald's in Udon Thani. I don't know if this is generalizable to other such venues in other areas, but the heat lamps here do not seem to keep sandwiches warm. I have taken to asking for a "new" sandwich when ordering, leading to all kinds of looks of consternation and cognitive confusion among the staff at times. Most recently, I asked for a new one, as previously instructed to do if I want a fresh one made up, and watched them as they removed a patty from one of the sandwiched under then lamp, and re-fried it. Am I being a jerk if I ask for a freshly made sandwich, and then asking for a refund when they deliver something other than? I get that it's fast food, not a Michelin-starred restaurant, but I go in for it 1-2/week if that and I like to enjoy a hot meal when I do. I suggest to all. If you want to taste fastfood the way it was meant to taste -- it can be quite delicious! -- ask for a fresh ("new") sandwich when you order.

fanjita Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I thought you meant hot as in spicy hot. Anyway, get a grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanjita Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I very occasionally patronise KFC and that's only in the UK. Always piping hot, good service, and tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexCanada Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 If you leave the burger outside for 20 minutes during a hot day it should at least warm up! I always ask McD to make fresh fries if I go. They always oblige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thousands of other Thai establishments will provide you with a tasty, nutritious and hot and, if you like, spicy meal for next to nothing. Come all the way to LOS to patronise BK or Maccy D's? What's wrong with you? Move on and enjoy life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCTHAI Co, the local operator of McDonald's quick-service restaurants, plans to double the number of its stores by 2020 (to 400), and 14,000 staff to become one of the top three operators of McDonald's restaurants in Asean in terms of store count. People go to MacDonald's because they like MacDonald's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiRebound Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Kim J., our politics may be different, but I agree. People are easily satisfied, so there's not motive for them to improve. That said, BK advertises freshly grilled. I see them picking patties out of small plastic bins which were sitting there before I walked in. All of this, of course, is written expressly without the intention to inflame a certain member further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I occasionally go to McDonalds and the burgers are heated freshly every time. I know this because they always make me wait for at least 5 minutes and I can see them constructing the burger in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiRebound Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 I would like Thai food if everything didn't include oyster sauce and/or fish sauce in it. Even if you order grilled chicken, you can't escape it in the marinade. If you like that, then great. I don't think I need to leave the country if I don't find the food agreeable. This isn't China after all ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ks45672 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I have a strict policy about complaining about food in Thailand i can describe in 1 word - never! If i get the wrong order because of miscommunication with the waitress or whatever I'll eat it anyway and reorder the correct thing rather than send it back into the kitchen with a complaint attached! Anyone who has worked in a kitchen will know what I'm talking about and In Thailand some businesses will make the staff pay for a mistake out of their meagre wages... If the food is bad ill just not go there again than piss off the waitress and the chef who can do anything to your food in the back.... ????

Banana7 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 At Mc here in Pattaya, I insist on hot food, and the complete order served simultaneously. Sometimes, when ordering a set, they say I'll bring you the burger or fries later. I say no, I want hot food served as a set because eat it altogether, not burger and then fries. They comply and when delivered, they ask if the food is hot enough. It is Mc policy to serve hot fresh quality food. BK also prides themselves of selling hot fresh food. Ask to see the manager, if anyone tries to serve anything less than quality food. BK website for feedback should be on the bottom of your receipt.

Its only big enough to feed quadrant one in my belly, but the gooey ooziness of the ersatz mayo combined with the industrial sweetness of the fake Teriyaki accentuates the crispy flavourlessness of the cardboard like pork. My only complaint (and I try not to complain here) is that the sauce combo drips into my beard and begins to immediatley congeal and since they don't ever give you more than one napkin, I have to use my shirt to clean up. But thats a minor issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
