Daily Quickie: McDonald's Big N' Tasty
Daily Quickie is a short tag on the title which I use for blog entries about food I'm snacking at home, work or anywhere.
I might be late in joining the bandwagon, but for the past two weeks, I've ordered McDonald's Big N' Tasty thrice. The first time from a drive thru, and the second and third for home delivery. I know I'm endangering my life and more importantly, my weight, but how can I not crave for a burger as tasty as this?
I must admit that I was skeptical at first. I didn't understand why people are making such a fuss about this burger. However, after trying it for myself, I proved that it's not Magnum part two. Even without marketing tactics, I'd still buy the Big N' Tasty for the taste.
The Big N' Tasty may not be too big for me, but it sure is very tasty. Encased between round fluffy buns is a seasoned single layer of 100% pure beef patty that goes perfectly with shreds of lettuce, slices of onions, tomatoes and pickles, a layer of creamy cheese, and a special smokey sauce -- the treat that makes this burger super awesome!
Yes, the buns aren't special, the beef patty isn't extraordinary, and the vegetables are your average TLC plus onion slices. However, all these mediocrity can be upped by the tasty special dressing. Don't get me wrong, the Big N' Tasty isn't the tastiest most special burger I've had in my entire life. But for P165 a piece with medium-sized fries and a drink, I'd say it's a good fill not only for the tummy but also for the palate.
How about you, have you tried the Big N' Tasty from McDonald's? Do you find it yummy or just an over-hyped fast food burger?

I really like big and tasty ,it is so big that I can't eat all of it but I don't waste it .I keep it in the fridge and come back later to finish the rest.
ReplyDeleteAnd this makes me crave...LoLs...All I can say is that this "Big N Tasty burger from McDo is just an ordinary size here in the Mideast especially here in KSA. Burgers here in McDo are super big and can be feasted by two people already. On a side note, I would love to try that too..just for curiosity sake since it's making a buzz there. Hopefully, it's still avail when I get back home.
ReplyDeleteI love how tasty that burger is! My BF keeps ordering that when we go to MCDO - he says that stars love it. hahaha! I love getting the fillet o fish tho!
ReplyDeleteand it's really big and tasty. I remember sharing it with my husband everytime I order one. I just can't finish the whole serving...burp...now craving for it!
ReplyDeleteramon bautista always tweets about this. it got me real curious so i guess i have to try it real soon.
ReplyDeleteWow! I didn't know about that.. :D Guess this burger's really tasty even for celebs.. ^^
Deletehaven't tried it... i prefer my burger not to have mayo or other mayo based sauces kasi :) hehe, i like just catsup & mustard :)
ReplyDeleteAhh.. The Big N' Tasty's sauce isn't really mayo-based naman.. But I'm sure it has a squeeze of mayo there.. :D Give it a try some time though.
DeleteThis is pure temptation! Hahaha! I'm trying to cut back on my fastfood binges. Big and tasty is really good to satisfy your hunger. I usually share this with my kid.
ReplyDeleteI tried this burger once and it's good, but I've tried better-tasting burgers at nearly the same price...So I'm not that impressed, which is a good thing! Otherwise, I'd be craving for it and that would be sooo bad.
ReplyDeleteHavent tried this one..i think d will like this! Haha! :)
ReplyDeleteEverythingi n McDonald's is mediocre but it's my ultimate comfort food. Hahaha Probably coz they make it so convenient for me to have something from them. I love that they deliver 24/7 and that there's no minimum charge :D
ReplyDeleteIt tastes like a Whopper to me, which is good since we don't have BK here in San Pablo! Haha! :)
ReplyDeletei was at mcdonalds this afternoon! but ive never tried this one haha. i think i would love this one. and of course, with fries too! that's my ultimate fave!
ReplyDeleteI haven't given it a taste yet because I'm on a diet. Haha! But just like the magnum, everyone pretty hyped up on promoting this in every social media platform... :P
ReplyDeleteI like this burger. The taste is a little similar to burger king's whopper.
ReplyDeleteIt's basically a quarter pounder dressed up as a Big Mac -- same Big Mac sauce and same Quarter Pounder patty... :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think it has the same Big Mac sauce. I often have Big Mac and the sauce is more plain, while the Big N' Tasty has a more well-seasoned sauce.. :) But I'll grab both burgers soon to check.. ;)
Deletenom nom!! :D favorite namin toh ni boyfie! :D super nakakabusog talaga tong burger nila! hehehe :D para saakin, mas masarap yung burger ng mcdo kesa sa jollibee.. hehehe :D
ReplyDeletexoxoRhea Bue (Styles & Writes) ♥
Although I like this too, I still prefer the Quarter Pounder.
ReplyDeleteI love it more than Big MAC!!!
ReplyDelete:))
OMG! It looks really tasty! Teka nga, I will tell hubby to buy me this tom. Sa picture pa lng, ang sarap na eh! ^___^
ReplyDeletenice foto and looks yummy, but at PhP 165.00, a bit pricey... I have not tried it but I am willing for someone to buy for me and have a taste of it... not so much of a burger fan...
ReplyDeleteGrabe... Isa pa tong diko natitikmman... sa sobrang dami kong gustong i try kainin.. pati ito.. Huhuhu.. bukas promise na talga.. see you mcdo tommorrow.
ReplyDeleteI think the last time I ate at McDo was 10 years ago. Have no plans of eating there, unless I'm really desperate LOL Nice to know you like it :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it and every time I crave for fast food, I seem to forget about Big n Tasty haha
ReplyDeleteOff to Moa today and for suredinner at McDo... will try this...looks yummy kc eh...:D
ReplyDeleteThe patty looks big and very appetizing! I'm not a fan of fast foods but if I'm confronted with photos such as yours, I really consider buying fast food that look so yummy.
ReplyDeleteHaven't even joined the bandwagon yet. I should try this out. I always think McDo burgers are a tad dry. Never really liked them. I hope this one is juicier. And let's see about that dressing....
ReplyDeletei haven't tried this. minsan kasi ang burgers ng mcdonalds medyo dry. :( but i kinda prefer their mayonnaise over jollibee's.
ReplyDeleteTrue! I find McDo's patties dry too. And although the Big N' Tasty is really flavorful, the patty's quite dry pa rin.
DeleteI like it but I can't decide which I like more - Big n Tasty or the Quarterpounder.
ReplyDeleteLooks very tasty!!
ReplyDeleteHaha I think i was one of the "magnum victims".. how much is this? the patty looks juicy on the pics makes me want some MCdo delivery asap
ReplyDeleteAla carte is P120, I'm not sure how much it is with regular fries and drink. But I'm very sure that it's at P165 for medium meal since I order this set.. :D
Deletei loved big and tasty :) i think its so sulit coz its tasty and really big and can fill my tummy for just 145 <3

Wow, I miss McDonald's Pinas. I don't know, what we have here is a bit different when it comes to satisfaction. But to have an another brand, a young brand actually originated in New York that tastes just so yummylicious. Perhaps you've heard Shake Shack? This was the burger featured in the movie "Something Borrowed" that my wife loved watching. Please see this also... http://etc.soundsfunny.ws/index.php/2012/04/food-shake-shack-on-a-friday-in-dubai/
ReplyDeleteI miss fastfood, and I always crave for fastfood every lunch break, because I always bring home cooked meals.
ReplyDeleteI should try this next time.. but Im afraid of calories! :D
wow im not sure if they this big thing here in singapore but i hope so maybe could try in the future! xx
ReplyDeleteAnd another restaurant filled with wurmies...
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time here in the Philippines to have something like this. One of this is good enough for lunch. Hmmm yummy!
ReplyDeleteIs this new from McDonald's? Now you've got me craving! I think I'll order this for dinner :)
ReplyDeletesabi rin ng cousin ko masarap, time na para matikman ko to hehe
ReplyDeletebigla kong namiss ang mcdo... pero diet mode pa... ;-(
ReplyDeleteand its TV ad is really classy. Indulge your senses. =)
ReplyDeleteYour photo is awesome. makes me wanna grab a cheeseburger. actually, I am already happy with just a cheeseburger.
ReplyDeleteI love McDo's Cheeseburger. It's been my fave for the longest time. When I tasted the Big N' Tasty, I love McDo even more. I also wrote a blog post about it to show how much i love it - http://ang-sarap.blogspot.com/2012/07/mcdonalds-big-n-tasty.html hehe! :D
ReplyDeleteShame, I haven't tried their BigNTasty. Will do soon though, I always order the double cheeseburger =))
ReplyDeleteYummy!! But, I still haven't tried those. :D Maybe the next time I went to mall, I'll buy one. :D
ReplyDeleteyum yum.. loved the big n tasty because of its sauce and lettuce. :)
ReplyDeleteFor me, Quarter pounder is still the best! :)
