Good Cheap American Breakfast on Sunday Morning??

[sapphire]

5 hours, driving on the National Highway 1 in California. Starved and thirsty,

. . . . and you call that a reason for 'eating' at Denny's??????

Quit picking on me! I'm still in a holiday mood, my 'nasty' avatar is yet to be unleashed!

Thanks for the support Ma'am Viceroy, I never did say Denny's was awesome. Serves the purpose though.

If we want to trash Denny's then I would also like to add my own favorite for trashing as well. iHOP's

SMS, I would tend to agree. I would always choose a small Mom & Pop place over a franchise -- always. But when its my son's turn to pick --he goes for iHOP.

Unlike Denny's they tend to be in more suburban settings at least in the northeast, so they don't have that element of danger. As far as I know they have never been accused of discriminating against minorities and the food is a little less grungy. Don't come near me with that whipped tiopping though.

I don't like Friendly's either. But have been known to stop at a Cracker Barrel while travelling

A few years back while visiting Singapore, we stayed at Westin hotel and liked the buffet spread. They have American, western and local food items. Since it is buffet-style, you can't expect cook-to-order quality. The breakfasts are not just for guests staying in the hotel. It is available to the public.

I used to get breakfast items from Denny's in Orchard, more than a 1.5 decade ago. Don't know if the quality has changed but find the quality of food in the Singapore's Denny's is better than the Denny's in the USA. I can say the same for Pizza hut and KFC. I always point that out to my husband that even with the same franchise, the food served here seem to be superior to the ones in the USA. Hubby gets pissed at times and retort sarcastically "yeah everything in Singapore is better than America".

Don't know if it is just me imagining it or they really use better quality ingredients in SG. But somehow, the food just taste better here. Perhaps someone who has worked in the restaurant industry in both countries can enlighten me.

Tell you what earthfriendly, I agree 100%, I made a mistake of eating at BurgerKing in the US and thought I'd die. For a gastronomical grenade I kind of like Burger King here in Singapore (more than McD anyway) but the burger I had in the US - Yuks!

Ah I haven't tried good cajun food over here. Must try South Cove then.
I agree that the fast food in US taste quite crappy as compared to some Singapore ones. I had macdonalds once and it was nasty! Will make u lose any cravings for junk food.
I think singapore perhaps puts in abit more effort..hmm not sure.
I quite like Wendys salads. ah they should open one here!

[Wham]

anyone ever try English fast food - like Wimpy's? It makes even the real crap American like say White Castle taste good. We got stuck once on the road in the uk and decided to try it - i couldn't beleive how bad it was - it was inetible.

I'd like to take my boy to the Carl's Jr. which opened here, does nayone know where it is??

[Wham]

i agree - hear it is good but could not find the location on the web or phone directory

Fear not, gentle expats from the US of America, your fast food expert is on hand to guide you through the minefileds of inequity to the plain of the righteous:

Marina Park Mall

(happened to walk past a while ago . . . )
