Be Some Kind Of Super Star

Warning. Food post. Go satisfy hunger pangs before continuing.

Let's see...yes, it was on Wednesday night, when Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was out that we happened to notice renovation works going on in 1U, announcing the arrival of Carl's Jr. Oh how our heart skipped!

Not that we've ever eaten Carl's Jr before. First time we ever heard of it was during our much younger days (somewhen primary school lah but not too sure how young) - it was a latecomer, opening after Grandy's Fried Chicken and White Castle. Carl's Jr and Grandy's opened in Port Klang while White Castle was found in Klang Town. The only reason we were excited with the opening of Carl's Jr was because they were giving out these keychains that had their Star logo and a led at one point, so you could press the star and it'll emit a light.

We were young lah, please.

So yeah, our excitement that Carl's Jr was opening once more (and in 1U, no less!) is due more to nostalgia than for the quality of their burgers.

Still, that didn't lessen our interest in giving Carl's Jr a go. And yeah, we were secretly hoping that they still had that keychain. :P

Queued up for ordering, and had the waitress give us the spiel which decreased in volume and speed as she spoke...her colleague started laughing because her battery was dying. That's where we found out that staff was doing full-day shift (or maybe it was just her shift). Can die one lah, especially on a weekend where you're gonna open till 11pm.

We had the Super Star. Hyperion had the Chicken Santa Fe Sandwich (if we remember the name rightly). Added on the Beef Chilli Cheese Fries instead of going for value meals, for the variety.

Instead of waiting for our food we gets it served to our table. Good touch.

We can see that it's not really a children-comprehensive place, this. And they seem to promote messy eating, worra waste of food.

The Super Star is Carl's Jr's version of Burger King's Whopper. Only pricier. Slightly bigger? Can't remember. But the good point is that they wrap it in 2 layers, the outer one that identifies the burger and an inner one for you to hold! It's a considerate idea (especially when they harp on messy eating) for a good reason - there's no sink in the place at all. Only a tissue dispenser.

Super Star = Whopper is fine. We should have ordered something different for sake of novelty but we were hungry. What was not fine is that the burgers were cold when they arrived!

The chilli was okay, but also cold. And could have been a bit more generous, as the chilli cheese congealed in the middle of the stack of fries. But no complaints, it's better than just fries alone.

Will still head back to try out some of the other burgers next time, but our Carl's Jr urge has been satisfied for now, at least.
