Dubai - the Fast Foods



Dubai is Fast Food heaven. Fast Food and western restaurants seem to dominate the malls and food courts. Prices there are almost tripled, compared to Malaysian prices. Their Dirhams is about 10% lower than the Ringgit (1 Dirham = RM0.90).

Look at the prices of Burgers there:
And KFC there also cost a bomb:

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts - I find these too sweet! Middle-Easterners love their snacks & desserts real sweet!


I prefer Big Apple doughnuts any time! Less sweet & more variety!



1 dozen of these cost RM45 equivalent!




New York Fries - fries doused in melted cheese, sprinkled with fried bacon chips & topped with sour cream. This is a favourite in the food courts.


A small cup of this cost about RM13 equivalent.
This set cost about RM28 equivalent

Fuddruckers - this was LL's favourite restaurant discovered in Dubai. Their tagline is "World's Greatest Hamburgers for 25 Years".


I'm not really a hamburger fan but LL swore they really lived up to their tagline! Their burger meat patties come in different serving sizes: quarter-pound, half-pound, three-quarter-pound & one-pound.
The Half-Pounder


The gigantic 1-Pounder

Fried Chicken Loins - aka Chicken Breastmeat!


The yummy Garlic Toast


We ordered extra portion of their Saute'ed Mushrooms
But I love their salads - you get unlimited salads for every hamburger order!
The Salad Bar


Crispy Onion Rings



Grilled Sub Sandwich


Fish & Chips from the foodcourt:

Fish & Chips (cost: RM30 eqivalent)
