The Rain, Happy Meals, and the Walk

in Eating Outyesterday

Ever have moments like this?

When you were at a place and there's a shortcut route, then out of a whim, you suddenly decided to walk that path?

Let me share what happened in this blog.

Supposedly, we're just going to have dinner at one of the McDonald's branches here at Megaworld, but since it was already late at night after I got off from work, we're hesitant if we would be dining in or take it home. Additionally, it has been raining nonstop since the afternoon. There wasn't much any ride if arrive at downtown at this hour but we could hail a tricycle, though. It's just that tricycles do ask for more expensive fares and we don't like that.

I'm the type who will try to save as much as I can on a fare but on a spree in spending on foods, 'cause why not?

This place is busy and crowded as usual, either day or night. Among all of the things here, my eyes were fixated instantly on this corner named "TOM AND JERRY". They're selling these toys as a part of their famous Happy Meals. Seeing that, we're like kids which were getting excited with the new toys. To cut the long story shorter, we bought that. We still bought coffee because it's so cold from the rain but enjoyed our Happy Meals.

Anyone who could see us that would think that we did bought that for our kid or for a younger sibling? They wouldn't have the slightest idea that it would be for us to satisfy our inner child. By the way, initially I wanted Jerry in Sports Car, but it was sold out. We did have Jerry in Spinning Tea Cup instead.

We ended up dining in because of the the rains poured down heavier. We stayed there for few minutes after eating just for it to slow down. Time passed and we didn't notice it, which means there's no jeepney going home already, if there is, it would be rare at this hour.

We still have other options actually. Yet, that, "Let's check the newest displays they have here," turned into, "Yeah, let's just walked straight home." So, we did.

Note, it's still raining at the time and the Patata forgot his umbrella. We're just sharing and we barely fit in it. In the end, if the rain didn't stop halfway, it would be useless having it because we still got wet while walking.

We got some discoveries while walking to the exit. First, the building that was under construction back then turns out to be an elite hotel now. Then, we also saw a branch of Pickup Coffee here. They're everywhere now. They got two outside and here, so three in just around one location. Near the exit, we also have seen the venue for the international circus show that Megaworld promoted few weeks ago. It said the tickets start at Php 400 as the cheapest seat. More likely, it will be pass for us no matter what kind of experience it will bring. We prioritize food now. 😄

Anyway, another story for me today. Thanks for reading my blog as always. Have a nice day ahead!

wow your mcdonalds has spaghetti. I've never seen that before in a mcdonalds o.o.

The area looks nice though. I hope you're able to try some of the other restaurants there! As convenient as fast food is, I don't think it's the best food out there :P. It's good once in a while though xD. Fries are just too yummy

They have spaghetti here in the Philippines. And you're right, fast food isn't the best food but that's our last resort in that hour because most of the restaurants are closed from 9pm until later. Mostly, fast food chains are the ones open 24/7 or convenience stores. I also live in a dormitory for students, so it's a bit hard to cook. 😅

Anyways, thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate it. 🤗

ya that's kind of cool. it's like how we have porridge and nasi lemak here at our mcdonalds o.o. the regional food.

That's sad that's really early to close 9pm. Here I think most close around 10pm because that's when the mall closes~.

Even here not all fast food are 24 7 unless it's like city. I see the good days of student life xD.

You're welcome

Those toys looks so cuteeeee, I want one but I don't mapapabili ko si self nyan if ever. Coz i'm so kuripot huhu. Anyways, bigla akong nag crave ng spag, its been a long time since I last had that. i haven't tried mcdo's spaghetti yet, bet ko yong sa Jollibee eh. Masarap ba spag nila 🤤

Kasama sa meals yung toys nila. I forgot the price lang magkano, pero affordable naman hehe.

That's awesome then, if ever some kid likes it their parents can afford it. Uwu

Now that I see mcdo foods, im craving it rn. 😭

Mag order na. 🤣
