There is a rule of thumb that if you are in a foreign place and don't know or can't decide where to eat, look for a crowded restaurant filled with locals. So far in Singapore this has served me well. But, today this rule of thumb was broken. I walked past a Burger King in a large, upscale mall on famous Orchard Road and this is what I witnessed:
In case its hard to see, its a line of people extending out of the Burger King and down the walkway. I would guess the line was 30 people or more deep (starting from the service counter.)
I have young kids so I'll admit that I do patronize fast food restaurants like McDonald's and to lesser extend Subway, and that the Whopper is a decent burger. But come on people, we live in a food mecca! To get to the BK, they passed a fantastic sushi place, a huge hawker/food court, and numerous other restaurants. Seems like such a shame.
