McDonald's Grand Angus Burger & La Royale Patisserie

A new menu item at Mcdonald's means something new for me to try. Just released this week, the Angus burger comes in two varieities, 'Grand Angus' and 'Mighty Angus' burger. I opted to try the Grand Angus burger because it looked more appealing in terms of the salad component, if any.

Normally, the pictures of the food in advertisments do not generally match with what is actually made. However, in this instance, the Grand Angus burger really look like the picture but just flatter in comparison.

Encased in soft sourdough bread is a thick, juicy patty of Australian Angus beef, topped with baby salad leaves, red onion, mustard and mayonnaise sauce.

My burger lacked the baby salad leaves as only a few could be seen. This burger to me tasted really good. The bread was fresh, beef wasn't dry but was juicy and the onion just added an extra crunch factor. Being a fan of McDonald's processed cheddar cheese, I definitely like the two cheese slices that were added.

It may look small in the picture but it's twice the size of a normal cheeseburger and much more filling due to the thick patty. I definitely have to try the 'Mighty Angus' which has no veges of any sort except onions.

For dessert, I went to La Royale Patisserie located at Wetherill Park. A very popular place among the locals for great cakes, coffee and pastries. Today, I decided on the mango macaroon, chocolate macaroon and the meringue cake. The mango macaroon wasn't too sweet with a lovely outside biscuit.
The chocolate macaroon tasted chewy yet crunchy and was fairly good. I'm not really a fan of macaroons as I prefer my cakes.

This is a cake enjoyed by everyone. Covered with meringue bits is a mixture of sponge cake, cream, fruit and caramel. Great tasting cake that is a must try! I get it everytime I have the chance to.
