You are Right Nookie.

Anyone that wants to eat a burger that is only 15 percent beef, and the rest is unedible crap washed with ammonia, deserves McDonalds.

Nice coffee though.


I quite like the 7/11 burger with bacon and cheese @ 39 Baht. OK for a quick snack occasionally.

I stopped by the new McDonalds in M.Buriram today.

A small army of tradesmen putting the finishing touches inside and outside.

Signage is all in place, and I reckon it'll only be a couple of weeks before it's open.

Dunkin Donuts is next door.

Located in Buriram Castle Shopping complex, immediately behind i-mobile stadium, and adjacent to Amari Resort Hotel

Don't be so obtuse. Why would I want to sue them just because I don't believe what they say? Unlike some people I choose to read and digest the information from more than one source. There is not a burger in the land that is 100% beef.

Maybe " the meat in this product contains 100% beef products".

They take a piece of beef and grind it and freeze it. What makes it not 100%? An air bubble or two?

I have never dined at a McDonald's. However I can assure the Buriram Expat community that the new shopping center will have proper water pressure as Ruangsangthai has provided and installed two sets of Mitsubhishi water pumps this week to the builders of the new Buriram Shopping Center. You can see two Mitsubishi models identical to this model at the water pump utility room in the shopping cente.r On a different note, there will be three female spokes models performing a free motorbike wash in suitable attire one or two days of the Hitachi Power Tools Open Day held exclusively at Ruangsangthai from February 19 through February 25. There  will be new models of li-ion Hitachi Power Tools and you could ask the female models to demonstrate the driving ability of these Hitachi Tools. Mr. Moses Lopez and Mr. Tum will be driving the three female Hitachi Models to pay short visits to selected Buriram Restaurants including Roma Pizza, Paddy's Irish Pub, Jimmy's Sports bar, Muang Pizza, The Swan and Satuk Steak Restaurant during the 7 days of the Buriram Hitachi Tools Expo.

What about this: Meat scraps and sinew are spun in a centrifuge and “washed” with ammonium hydroxide. This chemical is used in fertilizers and cleaning products.  It is used in 70 percent of ground beef in the United States but does not require inclusion on ingredient lists because the US Department of Agriculture classifies it as a “process” not an “ingredient” even though residues of this process are left behind in the meat consumed.

So 100% beef after this???

After some of the shite that is eaten in Thailand, I am sure the Thais will welcome (and financially support) McDonalds.

They will have little interest in reading about mechanically recovered meat - or any other process that their Big Mac may go through.


I applaud the addition of such outlets in Buriram and consumers can make their own choice.

So "every burger in the land" has had this done to it. Starbeams in Surin grinds them in house. 100% beef. McDonalds stopped the practice in 2011. 100% beef also.
Title: Re: OH NO,,,,,McDONALDS IS ARRIVING IN BURIRAM
Post by: Starman on February 06, 2016, 09:12:37 AM
Not every burger but 70% have been and McD's have been.They were banned in the UK for this reason and McD's had to change the burgers that they sold in the UK.

Not quite sure what Starbeams has to do with it but, as you mentioned them first. I had a good chat with the owner once. His list of ingredients for making his burgers, which I have to recommend, was not 100% beef.

A 100% beef burger just wouldn't taste right anyway. Needs seasoning, onion and a binder to keep the fat in and keep the flavour maybe a touch of ketchup. Somewhere in between 70 and 80% would be a more appropriate ratio.

It wasn't just McDonalds. It was most ground beef everywhere. It was a commen practice in the beef industry. McDonalds beef wasn't any different than what the supermarkets sold. You claimed every hamburger in the land was like this. Starbeams was a reference to some that were not. Mike uses a 20% fat cut of beef and then grinds them. Still 100% beef. Less fat content makes a dry burger. McDonalds today doesn't use it. The supermarkets still do. Play it safe and eat at McDonald's.

If you read my post you will see I said " there is not a burger in the land that is 100% beef". No mention of any processes. What you say about fat is true. So you need some kind of binder to hold the fat in. Something like rusk. Hence not 100% beef.

The next time I'm in McDonalds bathroom admiring the wonderful water pressure in the urinals, I'm sure that Mitsubishi pumps and Ruangsangthai will be utmost in my thoughts.

I did read it and most, at least in the States, are 100%.. Americans never put a binder in hamburgers. It seems quite common in England.  English hamburgers taste like meatloaf to Americans. I do like a little chopped onion mixed in though. Burger King and McDonalds uses no binder. That's what most Americans are use to. Maybe there isn't a 100% beef burger in all the land of England.

I generally make my own Hamburgers and I do use a little flour and egg to keep them together. Plus onions, garlic and chilli of course

Made it to McDonalds today.  The Big Mac was acceptable. 

The fries tasted like they were done a 1/2 hour before.    (I put this down to a new store trying to keep up with demand)  They have yet to realize how to manage timing. 

They did not ask for what I wanted to drink, I think I got coke.   There are no customer despensors for you to choose, the order section gives to you. 


For mikeyd's in Thailand I would give it a B.  But it needs some customer service overisite.

Waited 10 minutes in the drive thru and they gave me 4 cokes ( only asked for 2 ) and a big box saying family meal with chicken galore in it and a cheeseburger.. I couldn't be bothered talking to them anymore so left with a meal that should have been 200 baht more...

I don't mind the occasional Macca ... but last night I had the worst McChicken burger I've ever eaten.

The "chicken" was a 4mm thick slice of something .... perhaps the sole off one of the tradies boots ....

I'm guessing it had been tenderised by several road construction pieces of machinery, then left to dry in the carpark for several days, before being eventually reheated in Macca's oven, then overcooked by about 5 hours.

So .... steer well clear of the chicken burgers. Saying that mine was absolute shit, actually gives it a lot more credit than it deserved !!

The fillet of fish burger, and McCafe coffee are excellent.

I have a tendency to return anything I don't like and tell the person who I bought it from, that the product was not up to standard etc, etc. That includes cars, drinks and food, just to mention a few. They will never learn if we don't tell them what the problem is and it is most important to do the criticising in a constructive manner. Sometimes I don't follow my own advice and tend to be less cordial than I should be.  We are all human.

The wife has been nagging me for a couple of weeks now to vist the Mc Donalds at Thunder Castle. So on Fri I agreed to take her. The meal was best described as "shite" I had a double cheeseburger, that contained two burgers that were so thin as to be almost transparent. It was completely devoid of any salad, but did contain ONE piece of pickled gerkin about the size of a
2 baht coin!! Her meal was a single cheeseburger complete with salad?? Never again. She is also in total agreement.
