Crispy chicken fillet – McDonald’s

Served with rice and gravy.Β 60 PHP
McDonald’s, Boracay PHILIPPINES

Lol, this is how I like my McDonald’s chicken – served with gravy and rice! This will never happen in the States, but it really should. I mean fast food is super unhealthy already in the US, why not add a side of gravy, lol! For real though, this was delicious. πŸ™‚

McSpicy sandwich – McDonald’s

McSpicy sandwich - McDonald's
Spiced whole chicken meat topped with lettuce and special mayo. 99 PHP
McDonald’s, Boracay PHILIPPINES

We caved in and got McDonald’s because it was close to our section of the beach and we needed an afternoon snack. I think this McSpicy sandwich is much better than the McChicken sandwiches back in the States. Hmm, screwed once again.

Taiwan classic pearl milk tea – Sharetea

Taiwan classic pearl milk tea - Sharetea
With red bean. Large 110 PHP
Sharetea, Boracay PHILIPPINES

I love boba milk teas! Sure they’re just milky sugar bombs, but that doesn’t mean I don’t crave them every once in a while. And they’re great to drink on the beach because they’re nice and cold. The pearls are fun to eat and the entire drinks is just yummy. πŸ™‚

Nightlife in Boracay. I thought this pics turned out cool. The disco lights flashed at just the right time to give an awesome filtered effect. #nofilter

Hella-peno burger munchie meal – Jack in the Box

Hella-peno burger munchie meal - Jack in the Box
Beef patty topped with American cheese, stuffed jalapenos, mayo-onion sauce and ketchup on a sesame seed bun. Served with two tacos, fries and medium Diet Coke. $6
Jack in the Box, San Francisco CA

OK people, don’t judge me – LOL! We had just driven back to the city from a gala fundraiser up in Marin County where they didn’t serve very much food, so I was STARVING! We walked in and my eyes immediately fell on the promotional sign for the Hella-peno burger. I had to try it! The burger was pretty lame, but it filled me up and it came with tacos, fries and a drink – all for six bucks so I’m not gonna complain. This makes me a bad person. πŸ™‚

Mighty wings – McDonald’s

Mighty wings - McDonald's
Bone-in chicken wings in a bold, spicy breading. 480 calories, 31g fat. Five piece $5.09
McDonald’s, South San Francisco CA

Maybe it’s because of all the commercials with Colin Kaepernick and Joe Flacco, but I finally ordered these wings to see if they were worth it. My verdict is that they’re not very good. They were super greasy and while they were of decent size, you can get cheaper and better wings elsewhere. I love me some chicken wings, but these did not satisfy my cravings.

Sausage, egg and cheese muffin sandwich meal – Burger King

Sausage, egg and cheese muffin - Burger King
Savory sausage, eggs, and melted American cheese inside a warm English muffin. Served with small side of hash browns and a small Seattle’s Best coffee.. $5.29
Burger King, San Francisco CA

I can’t remember the last time I was at a Burger King in the States. I don’t really like their food very much, but I was late to work and didn’t have time to eat breakfast at home so I ducked in to BK for a quick meal. The sandwich was what I expected, OK. But they do seem bigger that the sandwiches at McDonald’s though.

Hash browns - Burger King

Hash browns. These are the best part of a Burger King visit. I swear they must have MSG in them because they’re SO addictive. πŸ™‚ But why don’t they call them tater tots? That has always confused me.

Seattle’s Best coffee. It’s super ghetto looking with the ill-fitting unbranded sleeve.

Oreo cookie McFlurry – McDonald’s

Oreo cookie McFlurry - McDonald's

Soft serve reduced fat vanilla ice cream mixed with Oreo cookies. 340 calories, 11g fat. $1
McDonald’s, South San Francisco CA

Ho hum. I needed a little treat in the afternoon so I went out and got a nostalgic McFlurry. The Oreo cookie flavor is definitely the best! Mmm… I can’t believe the snack size is a whopping 340 calories though! I guess that’s why it’s a “treat”.

Double double burger “loaded” – In-N-Out Burger

Double double burger loaded - In-N-Out Burger
Two 100% pure beef patties, lettuce, tomato, spread, two slices of American cheese on a freshly baked bun.Β  “Animal style” with extra spread, pickles,Β and grilled onions. “With chopped chilies” adds slices of spicy yellow pickled chili peppers. And I also requested a side of peppers, lol. $3.40
In-N-Out Burger, Millbrae CA

OK, so I ordered this double double burger “animal style with chopped chilies”. Omg, it was huge and amazing!!! My co-worker recently told me about the chilies option on their hidden menu. Well I love spicy peppers so I thought I’d give it a try. This burger definitely filled me up, and it was messy and fabulous. The yellow chilies actually had some kick too! I was expecting mild pepperoncini slices, but these had some heat to them. Oh, how I love you In-N-Out!

3-piece chicken tenders combo – Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

3-piece chicken tenders combo - Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

“Handcrafted spicy tenders that pack a Louisiana punch in every bite.” With biscuit, mashed potatoes and cajun gravy, barbeque sauce, and Diet Coke. $6.99
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, San Francisco CA

Chicken tenders - Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen
Nom, noms! I love Popeyes. I crave it once in a while and have to get my fix. Their chicken tenders are much larger than those at most fast food chains and that’s probably why they cost a bit more. But they’re SO worth it!

Mashed potatoes and cajun gravy - Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen
And their mashed potatoes with cajun gravy is my absolute fast food favorite! I love the horrible-for-you-tasting gravy with the gristly bits, lol.

Cool ranch locos taco – Taco Bell

A crunchy taco made with seasoned beef, lettuce, and cheddar cheese in a shell made from Cool Ranch Doritos with more chips on top. 170 calories, 9g fat
Taco Bell, Palm Springs CA

Cool ranch locos taco - Taco Bell
OK, since I already tried the nacho cheese version a while back, I had to try cool ranch! I mean, cool ranch is the superior Doritos flavor anyway, right? And again, I was disappointed. Even when I’m slightly buzzed I can’t get into these silly taco shells.

Mexican pizza – Taco Bell

Mexican pizza - Taco Bell
Two crispy pizza shells filled with seasoned beef, hearty beans and then topped with pizza sauce, a three cheese blend melted to perfection, and topped with diced ripe tomatoes. 550 calories, 31g fat
Taco Bell, Palm Springs CA

It’s that time again when I end up at Taco Bell late at night to have a “fourth meal” (which in my case is usually a seventh meal, lol)! I know that you all have fast food cravings every now and then, so don’t judge. πŸ˜‰
