Oh no! Personally, that would be two reasons for NOT wanting to visit the UD Centre. :-&

[beer monkey]

Well a Mc D's in Dusty Udon....its an 'any port in a storm' stituation.

Must admit..it don't look too shabby...

[Roy]

Agreed BM if the burger resembled your picture I would be there in a shot but sadly the soggy bun, dry meat and last weeks veg that is reality just does not cut it.
Whats even more sad is that I guarantee I will go there and regret it after

[beer monkey]

Yeah i know Roy....why can't they make them like the display photos in the restaurants...must be something that *'Trades descriptions' (*in thailand lol/tit) could do about it.

McD's, high in fat, high in salt, low in fibre, what a bonus for Udon! Only McD's i like is the banana milkshake, which is REALLY REALLY healthy. Except, maybe high in saturated fat and, high in calories and, lacking anything of a banana but, well, it tastes nice.

...... but, as I have said before, they also create a lot of waist

You forgot to ad the MSG Phil. A real killer for the joints.

Well Pops that is what says on the sign but it also says carefour is going to be there :-"

[saint]

the only reason i would be pleased to see a mcdonalds in udon , is because it would stop me wanting one !!!!!! like most things you always want what you cant have . and i think food gravings , are all in the mind . in your head it tastes great , right , but how many do actualy taste that great ? lets be honest , a mcds burger isnt what you could call appetising is it . yet because i cant get one , i still want one !!!!! i know if there was one here , i would use it about once a year . sometimes life just gets a little wierd .

I've also heard that Thai Airways, Air Asia will be putting on extra flights to bring in the farang hordes craving to sample this 'Thai experience'.

I also read that Nok Air is putting on direct flights, 3 times a day from Pattaya to Udon and return, just to cater for the lager louts who are looking to travel up here just to beat up the locals

[keith555]

I hope its true about Mc Donalds coming to udon,you cannot beat it for value for money,Big Mac,Large french fries,Large pepsi,all for just over 100 bht ! No more fat in there burgers than anybody else's burgers,100% beef. Also a lot of thai food is cooked with added MSG,and cooked in PALM OIL.

I look forward to the Starbucks arriving, not so sure about McDonalds though.

[rufus]

Seriously, does anyone drink Starbucks? They had to close a large number of their stores in Australia because we have a culture of real coffee, not dishwater.

Seriously, does anyone drink Starbucks?

Someone must since it's the largest coffeehouse company in the world.

I'm not a coffee connoisseur but I'm sure it tastes better than dishwater!

A darn sight more expensive too.

[aznyron]

rufus coffee taste good it the price you pay that keeps me from buying it I will not pay 100 baht for a cup of coffee no matter how good it taste

[jimboLV]

Their coffee isn't that great. Their success is due to slick marketing (snob appeal), and market saturation, not the quality of their product. They are closing down many of their outlets in the US also, since a lot of the metrosexuals, who were their main customer base, are now out of work. It will be interesting to see how they do in Udon, since they will be competing with many venues that only sell instant. I will be particularly interested in seeing their pricing structure.
