vingyan.. I am one of those that don't really enjoys fast food! hehehe.. Serious, I seldom eat that.. only when I am really craving for those. but if the day I crave, I must have it there and then! I normally crave for fried chicken, and I still prefer those sells in mamak stalls or by the night market. I don't really eat KFC that much. If I really can't find any, then McD is my next options. Sometimes, go over crazy, I must to A&W for it. I also seldom had carbonated drinks, as I was once terrified with the way it's being made. OK, I have one junk that I can't resist, which is the CHOCOLATE No way, I could resist buying or eating it! If I really need to snack, I snack on nuts, such as almonds, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries and raisin. I still prefer these than the other junk.

Hi Cwong! So the raisins, almond and sunflower seeds are good snacks?? I can see Fast food is so easy to access and it has become one of the party food too, agree? Many children now get happy when the parents get a birthday party for them in the fast food restaurant! See, this is how the Fast food restaurant making money, . It makes things more simple and parents get to be more relax to organize party this way. More over the kids get so much fun of it! Do you consider to get a birthday party for your princess in KFC, perhaps Mcdonalds is a good option too!

I always frequent KFC, McDonald, Burger King, A&W. My son loves to eat KFC Chicky Meal & McDonald Kids Meal, because it comes with toy. He loves those nuggets and french fries too However, this fast food are not cheap compared to a bowl of porridge or a plate of noodle. Nowadays I also go to Chicken Rice Shop and order Dominos pizza. I think it is convenient and fast..

Hello Iriene, Thanks for your response. Yeah, nowadays it is not cheap to eat fast food. Most of the food come in set and it takes about $5 for each simple fast food set. Not only adults but children too started to go crazy for fast food. Fast-food chains lure kids in with toys and play areas. The kids could not resist stop eating the tasty fast food and more ever they will get the FREE toys. Those FREE toys even come in collections. there will have the tricks and aimed you to buy the whole series of toys, which come to you week by week. One of the KFC near my place has a big play area for the kids. You think this is for the convenience for parents to eat peacefully while the kids enjoy playing OR itis just to attract kids to come here to eat and play???

I do eat junk foods. But not very often. As you have said that they are so tempting. There are just times that I cannot resist them and I crave for them. Well, I also eat fast foods. They also taste very good although most of them are low on nutrients. Well, fast foods are really convenient when you are in a hurry and considering the busy life. So I do take them.

I also like fast food or junk food as it is also called. Its nothing new in my country. We have had hawkers selling sandwiches since as long as I can remember. There are also other snacks which do not contain too much oil. So I do not mind eating fast food.

Hi Vingyan, I am not a junk food lover,but I love to eat fast food. I used to eat fast food frequently when I was in SIngapore. I always craving for Mcdonalds and KFC.Both are my favourite fastfood restaurant. Do you know that in Singapore,always have discount coupon for Mcdonalds meals,that is tempting me to eat more and more as it is super cheap and definitely always crowded especially during weekend. Sometimes I have to wait for long to get a seat for 2 persons. After I moved back to my husband's hometown, we seldom have a fast food.The KFC and Mcdonald here taste bit different with Singapore one. and definitely we love the Singapore style. Just wondering is there any MOS Burger outlet in Kuala Lumpur? I love their burgers too,it served in Japanese style.but the burger size is super small and it is not expensive.

I do admit I like eating junk food and fast food, but at times I would think that I don't really have the choice but to like it. I am currently living in a dormitory near our university, so I wasn't eating healthy foods since then. I can only eat well during weekends when I go home. We have so much fastfood chains near our dormitory, so when we are in a hurry to get to class we would just buy fastfood or junk food. But we make sure that we limit ourselves too because it is not healthy.

I eat it occasionally, but like a treat, not like actual food. Not all fast food is junk food any more, but it takes a lot of will power to made the better choices while everyone else is pigging out and you can smell the yummy aromas of the "bad" items.

vingyan06 yes its part and parcel of our culture and ' we overindulge until a lot of us are plain obese. I used to go out with my best friend to burgerking every other Wednesday but since I have been stuck in here I don't get out to do that. but we do have' hamburgers served here maybe twice a month, and they' are not as good as burger kings as they are overcooked' made much too thin,so they are hard and almost tasteless. Actually home made hamburgers can be broiled and,made as healthy as any other lean meat if you buy very lean hamburger meat. just dont use those huge fluffy gummy buns used in fast food joints, use multigrain buns you can buy them in any good grocery store now.

Unfortunately I like junk food and fast food, I wish I didn't but I do. When it comes to fast food I probably have it once a week, not really more than that. Usually when I am really busy out doing errands. When it comes to junk food, I eat something I guess that would be considered junk food once a day, sometimes more and then I am upset with myself, but I love chocolate and I really am addicted to it. I am trying not to eat as much but it is hard to stay away from.

I can't stand fast food restaurants and I haven't eaten at one in years. I usually eat what I cook and it is usually prep time that can be tiring. I do eat junk food on occasion but it is usually all natural chips, chips that i slice and bake myself, or deserts that I also bake. I don't eat foods that have ingredients that aren't from the earth or has been synthesized in a lab.

I've been a healthy eater for quite some time now. When we are making dinner or lunch, i try to limit the oil, salt or sugar. put in lots of green and good stuff in the food. but burgers and fries is something i believe every human needs. hahaha. seriously. i think every person should eat a burger a day. not for the health but for the pleasure of it. its just some things we have to have. but i limit myself to one burger and a fries a week. sometimes 2 weeks once. mcdonald and KFC are classic choices of mine. i don't like pizza much unless with lots and lots of cheese.

Well I have no idea what it is like for you all there to have fast food but here the food is good, not the healthiest but is good and very popular. Sometimes if you don't have enough money it also serves a good purpose so Yes is a good thing for us.

Yeah, I like it but luckily don't have easy access to it, otherwise I'd have worse wealth. I think only people in extreme regimes and with emotional issues can say that they don't like these places or to go there at least once a year. Good food is always a great thing to have.

vingyan, I like fast food but since I have my boy, I've tried cutting down on them tremendously. What is in fast food and junk food are really not good for the little ones. Hence the name 'JUNK' food. I make sure I give my boy homecooked food as often as possible and only resort to fast food every once in a while. I cant totally deprive him from it neither. It must all come into moderation. The balance of what is good and what is not too good. Having fast food during parties are all right. But I am very particular not to let my son have soft drinks. The sugar content in it is too high, it may make him hyper. So, whatever it is, I am more against fast food than liking it. :)

I like french fries also as almost everybody else does.. But I don't eat hamburgers and other fast food stuff. For the french fries, I just use fresh potatoes and I peel and slice and fry them in my own kitchen. So its not fast food, home made food.. LOL )))))

well junk food is a rage these days. There is no denying the fact that they are so tempting if not anything else. I used to love junk food, until I found its eating upon my health and made me put on weight. Now I've cut down on it.

I do not like junk food or fast food. Sometimes I eat dark chocolate. I only eat fast food when I am out of town, out of the state. I like Taco Bell and Wendy's. It is convenient and safe that way, because I do not eat it that much.

I try not to eat fast food as much as I can but it doesn't hurt to have a burger and some fries every so often :D
