  1. Yeah western and American Iconic stuff are always more expensive in other countries.

    I definitely need food from home sometimes. This is why I go to Burger King usually once a week. It is actually fairly cheap in comparison to other sit down places and reminds me enough of home. Also dead easy to get to.
    Actually your nachos weren’t much different price wise than the burger. Glad you got your memory-food.

    • Andrew ahhh yes even fast food is more expensive outside of the US. I don’t understand why, but oh well. Oh & yes I need my burger fix everyonce in a while… okay like once a week. I can’t help, but love McDonalds. I’m actually here right now using the WiFi…lol!!! I know thinking of it now I should have gone for the burger…. but oh well they were good!

  2. Ohhh I’m so jealous. Expensive or not, they just do not have god Tex-Mex in Taipei. I’m having some serious withdrawals out here! Glad to see you’re doing well 🙂

  3. Sometimes you have to splurge, even if you’re on a budget. And I always miss Mexican food. We found a Mexican place in Siem Reap a few days ago, and it wasn’t too bad, I’d go back…you know if I’m ever actually in Siem Reap again 🙂 Just think, this evens out with the super cheap beer and tapas nights from a few months ago.

    • Ali… ahh I know I miss MEXICAN food SOOOOO MUCH!!! I actually miss HOT SAUCE the most. When I am in Siem Reap I will have to check out that lil Mexican place. Oh & yes we splurge a bit and budget on others… it all evens out in the end!

  4. Oh my god…. those prices slay me.

    We all do this sort of thing from time to time. Sometimes you just need the familiar.

    BTW – Have you tried Chipotle Tabasco? We’ve gotten hooked.

    • I know Kent they SLAYED me too… but I needed a FIX!!! Yes the familiar is something I needed and was missing a lot. I haven’t tried that hot sauce… where can I find it?

  5. Okay, it’s breakfast time and now I want nachos 😉

  6. Your description of those nachos cracked me up!! It looks SO delicious, but HRC is very overpriced. I used to collect their pins when I was a kid, but then I realized it was really a waste of money. It must have felt so good to experience a little “home away from home.”

    • Pat yes they are SOOOOOO overpriced. Yeah collecting some small things that cost a lot is a waste of money. I used to collect so many things, but stopped when I started planning for this trip. It was nice though to experience home away from home.

  8. The last time I walked in to a HRC (Barcelona maybe?) I walked right back out because of the prices. But sometimes you just have to splurge! I did it often in Australia…the prices are higher in general than what I’m used to paying, but minimum wage is higher too. I had plenty of meals out alone for much of my time in Oz…hope you’ll enjoy some of the same places when you get there 🙂 So glad you treated yourself!

      Heather I so wanted to walk out, but I wanted my nachos…lol!!! Yeah splurging once in a while is not a bad thing at all. I just kept wondering how do these people afford these high priced meals. Oh & yeah eating alone I am used to it now… that is why I enjoy street food so much more, because you just eat it fast. Yeah when I make it to Oz I will be emailing you for so many things.

  9. It’s always good to treat yourself to something special! Burgers and nachos are the same for me!

  10. I know exactly what you mean… sometimes you just need some comfort food from home! I’ve never been a fan of HRC though, always find it overpriced & the one time I went in I didn’t like the food at all. I find myself marveling at the European cheeses in the supermarkets here in Asia though… but I will NOT pay the $15 for a Brie 😉

    • Oh shit $15 for cheese… wow. Yeah Dani, HRC is way over priced… I don’t understand why it’s normal food like TGIF or Chili’s at home. I wish they would comment on this post.

  11. Oh, Jaime. You really crack me up. We have to meet some day.
