- Burger King Thailand is promoting a “actual cheese burger” made with 20 slices of cheese for $3.14.
- I requested my native Burger King outlet in Singapore to recreate it they usually charged $17.
- The burger had the feel of rubber and tasted like a block of Kraft American cheese.
On Sunday, Burger King unveiled on Fb a cheeseburger made with nothing however one bun and as much as 20 slices of cheese. Fb customers have been enthusiastic concerning the burger, with a number of customers writing that it appeared “scrumptious” whereas others stated they have been eager to attempt it.
I instantly wished to know what it could style like. Sadly, it didn’t appear to be obtainable in shops outdoors of Thailand. Full disclaimer: I’m an enormous fan of Burger King. In truth, it’s my favourite quick meals chain — sans Jollibee — and I often go for beef burgers. I’m positive I’m not alone once I say {that a} meatless, cheese-stacked “burger” isn’t the very first thing that involves thoughts when Burger King is talked about.
As an alternative of reserving a flight to Bangkok, my editor despatched me on a hunt to go to a number of native shops in Singapore and see in the event that they could be keen to recreate what Burger King calls the “actual cheese burger.” Burger King is understood for his or her slogan “Have It Your Means,” so we figured there may very well be an opportunity that they’d comply.
In a Burger King business from 1974 the slogan is featured. A employees member is proven customizing burgers — eradicating pickles and lettuce from one, and including additional ketchup to a different — earlier than singing out that “particular orders don’t upset us.”
I put that to the check and visited a neighborhood Burger King on Wednesday evening for dinner to see if they might recreate the now-infamous “actual cheese burger.”
