US trip 2010 special: Popeye's Chicken

About the food:

Popeye's Chicken attempted, in the past, to make a market in the Philippines, but sadly, it did not seem to prosper. But in the States, Popeye's is quite popular.

That's because, on certain day/s of every week, they have a real promo bargain, when it comes to chicken legs or wings. That is why, people there really await that day before buying their favorite Popeye's.

US trip 2010 special: food in Washington DC

About the food:

After our stay at NY city, we took the Amtrak train going to Washington DC. Hence we dropped of at the beautiful and large train station there.

We had lunch at a small sandwich place there and I ordered the chicken wrap, which is quite enough to make me full.

I also found this energizing black tea (with no sugar, just honey), and fortunately it did not taste sweet.

Afterwards, we took the bus tours that went around the entire area of Washington. The bus tours had multiple drop off and pick up points at the various Smithsonian museums and other landmarks.

At the Air and Space Museum, there was a fastfood center located next to it so I got this roasted chicken meal.

Moving on to the next day, we walked out of the hotel and looked for a place to have breakfast.

We had breakfast at The Brown Bag.

 I got this particular kind of omelette (they have other varieties)

Then I also got this muesli/granola with yogurt.

 Finally, after a short stay at Washington, we headed off the airport and had lunch at McDonalds. There, their value meals were really big in size. They had 10PC nugget meals. Plus, when you one order an apple pie, you actually get two pieces. Drinks are bottomless too.

 That concludes my foodtrip in Washington. Watch out for my next post:)

US trip 2010 special: What I ate during comic-con (Wendy's)

About the food:

After an exhausting walk inside the massive San Diego Convention Center (for the comic-con 2010), my uncle and I went out and had lunch at Wendy's.

Here in the Philippines, Wendy's used to be very strong (and I got used to eating their baked potatoes with cheese). Now however, Wendy's can only be seen in a few areas, and not too many people frequent them anymore.

That is not the case however, with Wendy's in California. There, the place was buzzing with life. There were also larger meal sizes and greater varieties as well. I remember ordering the six (or more) piece nugget meal, that came along with fries and bottomless beverage.

An important thing to remember once again is that after eating in a fastfood chain, you, personally, must throw away your waste in the wastebin. Also, if you have a small appetite, meals in the States can be very big. One American size meal can feed two already, or just one with a very big appetite.
