As soon as I mentioned the words nine-course meal, my social networking timeline erupted with reactions that mixed envy, shock and disbelief. How the heck can you manage to eat your way through a nine-course meal, they all wondered.

It feels like forever since my last bento post. Actually, it feels like forever since my last post. These apologetic “Oh, I’ve been away for so long!” posts seem to be getting more common, unfortunately. And while my excuses are always the same, fact is, it still applies as I’m still forever busy.

We interrupt regular programming to clamor for the return of Mc Donald’s Philippines Cheeseburger Deluxe! Recent reports from friends say McD’s claims it has been phased out already. Personally, I have noticed that it’s not listed on their menu boards anymore. I tried to order the Double Cheeseburger Deluxe a week or two ago despite it not being on the menu and still managed to get one. Was it one its way to being phased out at that time?

Why is she even blabbing about a cheap, fastfood burger? There are lots more that are yummier, you may say. Well, Mc Do offers cheap and fast sustenance, especially on busy work days when there’s just no time to enjoy a proper meal. And among their burgers, the Deluxe style is the best — it’s creamier and more flavorful, thanks to the wonderful intermingling of melty cheese and mayonnaise. It transforms an ordinary, mass-produced fastfood burger into a thing of wonder.
If you miss the Cheeseburger Deluxe too, join the Facebook page listed above and be counted! Maybe if we clamor enough, it might come back.
