Carl’s Junior (Jurong Point)

Biggest Burgers I've ever come across in a fast food joint. I was always impressed by the quantity and quality of the food served in Carl's Junior. There I was taking an early long brunch break on a rainy working day, what caught my eye is the S$7.90 great promotional lunch which included a selected burger of your choice, medium fries and refillable medium sized drink. It was really a good deal, judging by the size of the burger and fries.

I guess the burger is about one and a half times larger then the regular burgers we eat in other similar joints. Its more of the gourmet burger type with huge succulent beef patties, choice vegetables, onions and cheese.. I especially enjoy the chilli burger. This chilli i mean is not the spicy hot red chilly but the mexican ground beef chilli sauce. I find it rather flavorful and extremely appetizing. The chips are great as well; fresh, juicy and not overly littered with salt, crispy on the outside yet not dry on the inside.

I love the refillable self-serve drinks bar also. I think the concept is great and they have a good choice of carbonated drinks as well as ice-tea in which slices of lemons are available at the side for your own adding pleasure. Next to the self-serve drink bar is the self-serve condiment and salsa bar where you can find a good variety of pickles, chopped salsa and salsa sauce as well as chilli sauce and ketchup for your personal seasoning pleasure.

I love the fact that they provide serviettes on the table from a dispenser. I mean it could be rather messy eating a huge burger and as much as we save the trees with lesser consumption of tissues and paper, we also appreciate the use of recycled materials for these serviettes.

I was most impressed by the attentiveness and service of the staff in this outlet. The tables were cleared promptly and tray removed as and when the customers do not want them anymore. I was also impressed by the management team of this outlet. While I was there, the outlet do look a little short staffed and 2 gentlemen in smartly ironed shirts were doing some administrative work, however as the crowd picked up, they rolled up their sleeves and moved around the tables to clear the rubbish, deliver food and say HI and GOODBYE to the customers. I was both touched and impressed...

This is definitely a great place to hang out with your friends for a long chit-chat while you enjoy the always yummy cheesy fries, Oreo Ice Cream or the forever enjoyable HANDMADE MILK SHAKES which i find particularly delicious for a dessert. The choice seats I would say is by the ceiling high windows where the benches are well cushioned and natural sunlight streaming in while you are cooled by the air-conditioning of the mall.

Value Food, Choice Ingredients, Great Service and Cute Staff.....
