50 and beyond

This past half year has been stressful for me. And over the past month, the stress has intensified. 

This has in turn led to an unleashing of my eating habits. I have cravings for unhealthy foods. While I had been able to exercise self control and not buy chips when I do my supermarketing, I now unabashedly buy packets of chips and eat them for lunch instead of having tuna salads. 

Cheap durians this season have not helped. And I have a betsu bara tummy for durians. (You can guess what the Japanese term is😜). 

Lately, I crave deep fried chicken too. KFCs Lousiana chicken, Jolliebee chicken…

Earlier this week, I found myself entering McDonald’s at The Anchorage. After not eating burgers from here for many years, I suddenly wanted to have a burger. While going through the menu, I saw that the spicy McSpicy was voted best in the country for some category. So I ordered it. 

And my my my…it was delicious! And the fries were cooked perfectly. Not at all like the pathetic fries I associate McDonalds with in recent years. 

Younger son told me that the quality of food differs in different branches. And apparently, KFC and McD at Anchorage consistently ranks high. I never knew. Did you? 

Do you have a favourite branch for a chain of restaurants that you think serves better quality dishes?
