I'm a voracious eater most of the time, especially when my stomach is not complaining about all the food I wanted to eat (come to think of it, I think I got ulcers - overeating?). So, I was really disappointed with the food that came with Uncle Sam. Not that they don't have a lot because they do. But the thing is, it's not up to my taste.
You see, where I came from (Philippines), fastfood chains is something you can't complain anything about. I can compare McDonalds of US and Philippines and there is a huge disparity. There's not much of a choice with McDonalds here. And to think that their Big Mac isn't as big as the one we have back home or not as yummy. McDonalds of US don't even have chicken parts (only nuggets) and choices ranges from burgers to burgers ONLY. McDonalds in the Philippines even have spaghetti, and I say, I like the French Fries more in RP. I can't say much of US McDo because there's none to say, really - you just have at least 5 options - and that's it.
Now we go to Pizza Hut. I would just have to say I love Philippines' Pizza Hut! Why? The variety of the meals are endless! Here in US, they don't even have that pasta in Mushroom and Garlic with shrimp that I really like. I tell you, choices here are sooo limited I just have to learn to cook a little more.
The only good thing about the chains here is the fact that if you buy soda, you can drink all you want. That's it.
Even KFC here is not as good as the KFC back home. Sigh. I miss the food in the Philippines. I even miss Greenwich, which got pizzas oozing with goodness, not with oils. I even thought that Texas Fried Chicken (which I really loved back home in Davao) I can find here in Texas (since it's Texas, right?) . So I'm in for another disappointment.
So I just have to content myself with the Church's Chicken which is quite good. Although all in all, nothing compares to fastfood chains found in the Philippines. Yummiest as ever. Even Jollibee which I've grown to not eat anymore (since I've worked there and not too keen with it anymore), now I'm longing to see and taste. I guess I have to go to LA just for the taste of their tasty Palabok and Peach Mango Pie.
For now, let me drool (watch out! It's wet!!!)
