Renzie Visits Wham! Burgers

another adventure in Food and Travel with Renzie Baluyut.

I was at Shangri-la Mall yesterday helping out a friend of mine shop for some baby stuff. Naturally, all that walking around and shopping worked up an appetite, and so I thought snacking on something heavy would hit the spot just right.

Right there on the fifth floor was Wham! Burgers. I haven't had some of these in a while, so it seemed like a good idea to grab some for our post-shopping snack.

Unlike regular fast food burgers- Wham! Burgers (as well as most other gourmet burgers) has a 1/3-pound beef pattie. I asked if they had something larger than that, but unfortunately, the 1/3-pounder is all they have.

I got myself one of those Bronco Burgers- had a couple strips of bacon and a generous helping of barbecue sauce that starts dripping once you go to town on that bad boy. Also got me a side of fries and a side of onion rings to go with my burger.

You might want to check out their website, but it's still under construction. Nevertheless, Wham! Burgers is located at:

• Katipunan Avenue Extension in Blue Ridge, QC,
• the 5th Level of Shangri-la Mall,
• the 4th level of Robinsons Galleria,
• at The Block in SM North Avenue,
• at SM Fairview and
• at Robinsons Midtown in Ermita.

Cheers, everyone!

Renzie Visits Carl's Jr. Mojave

another fast food adventure with Renzie Baluyut.

Well at least I think it was close to the Mojave- it sure looked like desert terrain on our way in. I took a road trip with Mom and Auntie Flor to check out some property up in California City. We eventually ended up at the Silver Saddle Ranch later that afternoon. But for lunch, we had a quick stop over at a Carl's Jr. by the main road.

As far as I know, there are no Carl's Jr. restaurants any longer in the Philippines. They did, several years before-- but that folded up after a few years. Then again just a couple years back-- and again they folded. But I did miss their burgers, and the poster out front that had "Prime Rib Burgers" in bright bold letters kinda just reeled me in.

And yeah, it was alright. Also had a strawberry milkshake to wash it down.

Now that was alright. Really hit the spot.

Cheers, everyone!
