foods that dont look like the picture

20 March 2009, 01:17

it’s happened to us all. we stare blankly at the pictorial menu undecided on what to eat, choose the prettily photographed meal and then receive a meal that looks NOTHING like what the picture shows.


oportos big brekkie. sure does look purty


REALITY HITS! lol not so purty now are ya! heh we bought this at parra food court at 10.30am. the butter on the bread was such a lurid yellow i could barely stand to look at it but the boy just shrugs and scrapes away the oil/grease that has pooled on the bacon rashes haha he said it tasted ‘ok’ tho and i give the hashbrown 2 thumbs up. i like hashbrowns.


hungry jacks brekky wrap


aw how sad looking. lol it looks pretty close to the pic if a little thin but the boy deems this as tasting of fail! haha anyone else ordered via photos from a menu and not getting what they wanted? [the ‘before’ photos from respective websites here and here]

1. I don’t think the second one was all that far off. I’ve having this happen so many times, and after watching that Ponds commercial where they do up an ordinary looking woman to look like a supermodel, I always assume it’ll look worse than displayed.

   Anyhow, what can you expect from a fast food joint? In that situation I’d actually be more suspicious if the food looked as advertised. I’d wonder whether they’d accidentally given me the plastic display model :)

2. What is that brown thing on the plate with a hole in it? Looks like chicken? Looks revolting! Maybe need a blindfold next time. I think those plastic Japanese models of ramen noodles are never like the real thing.

3. lol I agree with Belle! If that is suppose to be the egg, it’s the funniest egg I’ve ever seen.

   Well the Big Mac is a feel, it always looks 5 times smaller than the one on display.

5. Hahahaha this is sooo true eh?
   BUT. You’ve got to go to Mos Burger in Japan – you’d get a burger just like on the menu!

6. That butter on the bread looks horrible, actually not much of the meals looks appealing…
