any idea when this outlet is opening ?

http://www.wendys.com/

i remember there was a Wendy at Sungai Wang during the time i was very young. Probably about 25 years ago.

Yeah, I remember vaguely the signboard being yellow colour or something...
Now end up like what happened to Whitecastle...
Why? Is it going to reopen soon, or what?

Sunway Pyramid's outlet are opening soon
but no idea when

drooling looking at the 3 layer burger pictar everytime walk past the outlet

Does anyone remember a green color fast food restaurant near Taman Titiwangsa more than 10 years ago? Kinda missed the food..haha..

Wendy's is well known for fresh custom made burgers, they cook on the spot, not pre-heated like McD or BK. I wonder why the original franchisees from the 1980s couldn't maintain Wendy's but it's good to see a new one opening in Sunway.

there's going to be a wendy's here?
awesome!!!!

when i was in the states... wendys has the best chicken burger around... wins hands down... but they dont produce good beef burger though...

the best is their $1 chicken burger... so yummy!

Just luv the unlimited DIY porridge..way back in late 80' & early 90'.. ...I saw few outlets in Manila...but din try

i think it was Grandy's, not Wendy's.

i remembered carl's jr and grandy at jln pahang when i am a kid
cant believe it come back after so many years....

how the price is it same like mcd or expensive like carl jr

Itz at Jalan Pahang..the same road at McDonald's..If not wrong the place already become road to link to Sentul already, then they got one room with a lot of the color balls thing for children to play..Think it is not Grandy's..

It's opened? I remember that had nice ice cream

YEAH YEAH... ! I'm GOING THERE THIS WEEK !

w00t!! heading there this weekend!!

don't forget to tell eveybody the pricing

which 1 better if compare with carls jr? did it as big as carl jr?

Off topic :

I'm wondering why didn't you use the Nikon camera to take this pics..

From what I see on the newspaper, the burger looks damn niceeeeeeeeeeeee!!

vkeong, wanna go together?

yes, it's GRANDY's

Ah yea..I missed Grandy's..think the bread or roll was very nice..missed the old days..

Oh I loved Grandy's. There used to be one in subang parade a long time ago.
Finally Wendy's comes here. I used to eat a lot in jakarta. But more expensive than McD there

lolz ... i didnt use the Nikon to take the pic coz its my camera-man punya camera le ... his camera set including lense is more than 20k la .... i scared spoil it then i teruk case d ... anyways Saturday is the Grand Opening but promoters will be giving out coupons but i am not sure if they are entitled to a free meal or discount ... I lupa ask my boss ... lolz

its not as expensive as Carl's Jr but not as cheap as McD ....

Well ... I've tasted 2 triple burger what can I say ? i would say the patty is not as dry as McDs ... but burger taste the same as Carl's Jr but at a cheaper price .... but Carl's Jr win on the french fries side ...

Try it for yourself TODAY !!! =)

As for Pricing Wise ....

RM17.99 for Triple Burger Combo set which includes
1 triple decker burger
1 small fries
1 small drink

Potatos RM5.99 for cheese and brocolli
Ice cream + Oreo = RM3.99
Ice cream + M&M = RM3.99

its something like McD McFlurry but then the M&M has been CRUSHED into small bits and pieces so you no need to susah susah bite hard shell m&m ...

others ... i lupa pricing d ... got 9 combo meals le ... hehehe i didnt work on the menu ... i go there goyang kaki and make sure the events are runing smoothly saja

DO ENJOY YOURSELF THERE ... I AM SURE I DID ! =)

You are making me hungry.. haha.

ym yum yum......

stop feeding the directors... when i was in the states i never pay a diff price for fast food... whats so special as compared to mcds? ... carls jr n wendys are just another fast food brand... but why are they so exp? because you are subsidising for the director's merc...

maybe you guys are sick of 20-30 years of mcds, kfc,anw... its fine to try new brands... but dont do it too much ... these people are over charging...

a fine example is starbucks by berjaya... i wonder how much are berjaya making... its crazy...

I'm definitely heading there this weekend. hehe.

I miss grandy's too, i think its the cinnamon roll if i'm not mistaken.
And white castle as well! Ah, my childhood memories. lol

As for Pricing Wise ....

RM17.99 for Triple Burger Combo set which includes
1 triple decker burger
1 small fries
1 small drink

Potatos RM5.99 for cheese and brocolli
Ice cream + Oreo = RM3.99
Ice cream + M&M = RM3.99

let me count, rm17.99+5.99+3.99 ~ rm27 for a 1 person!? tat freak mahal for fast food!
i havent try carl jr yet, but i can imagine it will more than rm30

u r feeding the kaui low and berjaya directors... in the states it is same price..

Because they are different. It's your choice where to dine. So you are suggesting making all the prices of fast food standard?

Too bad then because Malaysia is not part of the States.

very very expensive... these are really premium burgers ..No wonder I cant even afford Mcdonald nowaday, the price of fast food has hike up so much over the years

today i listen to MyFM got wendy burger advertisment...quite impress me

Just went to Wendy's. Nice. and I got a chance to take free polaroid picture with Wendy's mascot. lol.

xxx

lolz ... cannot say like that ma ... but the food is nice ... Wendy's kitchen is fully imported from the States and also since Wendy's will be opening several branches throughout Malaysia, in a way its creating jobs for everyone... for example ... ME .... if they dont open ... then i got no job wor .... how how ???

Yes of course ... the media press came for our launching ma ... what they makan all free ma ... of course have to do some advertising for wendy's rite ???

lolz .... the guy that took the picture for you is fat fat or thin thin one ??? I took tons of polaroid myself ... btw these are pictures are from Fujifilm ... each picture cost about RM6 each ... so do keep them well ... I myself took more than 3 ... hahahaha coz working there ma ... xD so take more pics lo ... hehehe ... ooo yah Polaroid's company close down d ... lolz ...

btw sorry for the long cue due to high demand and the venue is small ... I assure you that the next few branches will be bigger =) "I hope" ... lolz ....

LoL .... hope to get a review from you soon alright? I better not review so much coz u guys might think i am bias towards wendy's =) So to people who have tried Wendy's ... do give us your feedback ... =) ...

New pics will be updated soon.... waiting for camera man to send me pics ... =)

Buying franchise is not cheap ... you need to have the "man power", the money and the support of suppliers and dealers to help you keep your restaurant running and also the quality of the food that you eat... not only in the F&B industries but I would say in all businesses .... whats so great about J.Co ??? Is it really worth lining up "THAT" long of a cue just to get a dozen of donuts ??? how come dunkin donut sell donut but then ppl dont cue up for it ? you can counter this by saying "of course la, ppl love new things ma ... fresh stuff" ... yes this is true ... but if their donuts is not nice ... do u think they will have returning customers ? its been more than 6 months (estimate) J.Co has been open ... I juz came back from melbourne myself and totally blur bout the brand J.Co coz I had krispy kream there .... I was thinking ... how come ppl wanna line up for juz a dozen of donuts ... then i said ... ai yah ... after 3 months sure no one come back d ... but then i did have a lot of feedback bout J.Co from my friends and everyone said their donuts is really nice ... I'm sure my friends or you guys who loves J.Co will not mind lining up juz to get a dozen of donuts if you really do like it rite ? if its based on "hype" then i'm sure they wont last long in this F&B sector ...

If ppl try 1 time ... dont like it ... confirm u wont go back and get it ... if you try 1st time ... you love it ... i'm sure you will return to get it ... =)

So at the end of the day ... whats so special bout McDs and Carls and Wendy's ? go try it out for yourself and let us know what you think bout how wendy's rank in the fast food industry ... but as for stop feeding directors ??? errr .... if you have dinner,lunch, movies in McDs, Overseas, Shang Palace, pubs, clubs, spa, GSC, TGV, Genting ... etc etc .... you are also feeding their directors .... but thats how the economy runs rite?

Yes starbucks mades berjaya loads of money ... but have you though bout them buying the franchise? buying equipments? sending ppl to learn how to make their coffee? yes i agree wit you that they are increasing their prices ... thats why White Town Coffee is popping up everywhere ... which means there is competition ... so dont worry ... once there is competition ... sooner or later, starbucks either drop their prices or close shop =)

hi... new here...


it's just so happen dat i study nearby sunway pyramid... so, after class, i saw wendy's opening, n i decided to take away for my family.

but while q'ing up, suddenly the comp system down/hang. 2 customers in front of me, they have their food, just waiting to pay d... i was behind them, so, 3 of us wait looongg time... easily more/less 10 mins. anyway, since they got their food, the workers ask them to sit, while they try to figure out wat to do. then, come to my turn. they take my order, than they calcute how much i must pay with pen n paper. "so sad," i thought to myself. should hv calculator for each counter ready next time.

went back to my hse, discovered my chili n cheese baked potato became cheese n cheese baked potato. (partly my fault, didn't check before leaving.) but both same price, so i let it go...

anyway, for the food; nice variety. stuff that other ppl dun hv, wendy's hv... like baked potato... (i'm bias coz i like potatoes, haha!) plus the baked potato size is big... (i tot it would be cute-sy sized ) good surprise for me! really worth my money.

and i also bought 1/4 lb. cheese burger n ultimate chicken grill burger. the 1/4lb is nice. but the chicken grill, ok-ok only...

beside the comp glitch+waiting, it was nice. the workers are friendly, interior/atmosphere seems comfortable. (i like the table with square chairs stored underneath. very ergonomic n save space.)

conclusion? yeap, i will come back, becoz of the food variety. need to try everything...hehe

Yup there was a glitch in the server causing it to hang ... we had to restart it and shut down every counter then rewrite the image inside the server which was causing the glitch... good thing the service ppl for the server and counter was on standby in the shop ... and she's kinda hot too ... lolz !!! xD Thx for your suggestion regarding the calculators for each counter ... =) will suggest that to management =) ... I am not sure if they give you the wrong order or maybe its because we ran out of chili ... coz at about 4pm, we ran out of chili... so sorry that u have the wrong order, so how do u find cheese and cheese baked potato? nice ? I myself havent tried it yet ... so far i've tried triple burger and spicy burger only ... and of course their float and deserts .... glad to hear that you enjoyed yourself =)

The BEST part of Wendy's 1st store launch was .... McD & Carl's Jr had prepared to counter our launching ... so Ronald McD and Carl's Jr mascot was out as well during the lunch time period ... Carl's Jr mascot came over to our Wendy's mascot and disturb her ... it was hilarious ... both McD's and Carl's Jr was giving out tons of balloons all around, everywhere we look, either they are holding a McD balloon or a Wendy's balloon... lolz we even planned for whoever is holding a McD's balloon in wendy's ... we should pop it and give them a wendy's balloon ...

and then after a while ... there was a Arabian restaurant which had SUPER DUPER HOT PROMOTERS dressed up super super super mega hot .... giving out flyers... its like this is their super mega secret weapons .... I myself also wanted to go over to the Arabian restaurant to have my meals d .... lolz ... the power of promoters .... lolx

I saw the opening..although from outside.its on friday nite rite?i wuz there on saturday but didnt go n ate there.maybe next time..so dats why theres so many balloon on saturday..i wuz thinking where da hell all dis balloon came from..n theres sound of balloon popping out every where

chiu... no wonder ler.. you are working for them... good luck neway...

got any vouchers 2 spare? hehehe... want to compare those in the states with the local version

lolz ... i not working for them le ... i help them out wit the events only =) ... its juz a 1 job thing ... but i did get vouchers lo ... you can have 1 if you want =)

This post has been edited by jamezco: Apr 7 2008, 09:53 AM

went there on Sat, 10:45AM, just in time for the opening and lion dance.
but they only open for their invited guest and VIPs that time

hunting for offer vouchers but none are given, they only gave out the lousy menu brochures.

Hang around for a while until 11AM and no signs of they are letting the normal guest in, as the US Hicom is cooking the first burger.

Fed up waiting so ended up in McD.


Yesterday went back there again for lunch around 11:30AM, still no offer vouchers are given out, except the same lousy menu brochures.

Ordered a 3/4 pound burger combo, add RM1 to upgrade to medium combo, while wifey has the premium fish burger combo.
First time in my life I actually have problem finishing up a fast food burger, the 3 pieces of quarter pound meat patty stack together is more than an inch high! and the fries aren't those pathetic skinny fries like some fastfood outlet, it's more of a fatty version, which tasted better. Also the size of medium drink = large size in McD.

Well... not bad for a new fast food outlet, just hope they can keep up with the standards and sizes of stuffs they sells, don't be like some which shrink their food size to cut cost and tipu the customer.

lol ... so sorry leh ... i didnt know vouchers weren't given out to normal customers ... coz i had coupons for myself ma ... hehehe so sorry yah ... =)

hmm.. I'm shocked! The franchise was bought by Berjaya but the first branch opened at Sunway Pyramid! You would think they would definitely wanna open the 1st one at Berjaya Times Square.. *confused*

some ppl say wendy going to opening soon in BTS, don't panic

now Berjaya and Sunway Group are abang adik mah...
Berjaya's son married Sunway's daughter.
You even can see Wendy's logo on the Pyramid Ice Rink.

Anyway... there's gonna be a Wendy in BTS also, and another one I can't remember where, the Curve I think.

Fast food costs RM20++ now?? They have a clever way to present their food though.. fresh food made fast = fast food lol

ate the 3/4 pound burger today. large costing rm21. fries was ok.. drinks are big.. burger big too. but the bread is slightly small.. taste of the beef are nice.. salty abit though.. overall its ok for 2 person.

it just make me feel that is another Roti Boy............
cant deny it is tasty, but it didnt made me have warm heart to queue so long to buy just a dozen donut. i tried the J co in bali, no one queue... ehhehe
ppl said, 1 ppl tell 10 times same lies, it become truth, but we cant deny worth of mouth create big impact of it.

I really have no idea how nice is J.Co coz i personally havent tried it myself ... i will wait when there is no queue d then i will go try it ... a lot of them said better than krispy kreme coz not so sweet ...

Roti boy hyped kinda down d .... lolz but its still nice though ... i do enjoy them if they aren't so fattening ... xD

actually i'm not a donut lover all this while but after my friend belanja me eat J.Co.... its really nice.....if u are to ask me will i queue there for a box of donuts..... the answer is YES....

now back to the burgers....tried Carls Jr. but havent try Wendy's.....

wat i can say is.... big burger is sometimes very irritating when consuming it....i had those sauses all over my hand when i eating it...constantly i had to use tissues on the tables to wipe it clean....its no wonder why they put tissues in every table.....

however....aside from that.....the quality of the burger is indeed good....

Carl's Jr. > McD hands down.....

but will Wendy's > Carl's Jr. ?? will have to eat first only know lo.....

I personally feel Wendy's is better than Carl's Jr. I like the sauce combination better and I feel that the beef patty doesn't seem so much like it came from a freezer and was slapped on a bun. The bun could be fresher though, and it looked like the staff was struggling a bit to meet the Monday lunch crowd which wasn't a lot.

McD has never really been my standard for burgers. Ramly and Chilli's is probably what I consider the gold standard

on the opening day ... too crowded ... not able to try it ... will go try this weekend

Wendy's is one of my favorite fast food... I have asked my friends to go together... hehehehhe ...

This is the menu posted by a blogger.

the menu too small...

Ramly burger is cheap and good la ... Burger Special only selling for RM3.80 at my area ... lolx .... Carl's Jr Portobello mushroom pawns all the burgers which I have eaten so far ... the juice from the mushroom is like so sweet ... xD

kinda iritate to see the rubbish bin being placed near the washing hands area there. placed so small. yet they wanna put it there. the worker will be there to clean up the tray and therefore will block the customer's way. hmmmmmm

Just went today, had the triple quarter pounder..

omggg i'm full to the brim. Very nice!!!

I had it once when I was in NZ...

Can't tell if it's nice or bad, probably I'm just not a big fan of burger/fast food

Anyone knows any outlet at Bukit Bintang? or coming soon outlet?

I tried Carl Jr. really nice the burger ...
I like the size ... not like McD ... I need to get additional cheese burger to full myself ...
Wendy's ... going to try it out one day ...

I agreed wif many ppl that the price for fast food nowaday really expensive ...

to haf fast food for 2 that cost RM40 is too much ... I like fast food ... but as we all know that fast food is unhealthy food ... if u watched 'Super Size Me Up' then u know wat the harm of fast food ...

As for the J.Co or Big Apple donut ... i totally pass on it ... tried once (force by my GF to get a few) ... been nagging me for a long time so we end up queuing up for 30min to get 6 donut ...

surprisingly when we had it ... i cant stop laughing ... wat kind of donut is that ... it taste weird ... i laugh at my GF for nagging for this kind of donuts ... she oso agree it taste weird ... that time is J.Co ... will try to Big Apple one day n see how good is the donut ... I personally feel the normal bakery's donuts is the best ... those with sugar on top ...

in my opinion, y all these shop is packed with ppl ... i think malaysian juz wanna follow the trend ... when a shop open n there is ppl lining up to buy the product then everyone oso wanna do the same ... this apply to J.Co, Big Apple & RotiBoy ...

another example, like those Hong Kong style restaurants ... is not the food taste damn nice ... is a trend that ppl hang ard there ... as u can c, secret recipe in KL is not that good business ... i know one that is damn good business ... it''s in KK,sabah ... packed with ppl ... all because the the trend make ppl wanna hang ard a nice cafe or restaurant ...

I have to agree with the expensive fast food. I think it started with Subway, charging RM20+ for a large meal. Then Carl's Jr came, now it's Wendy's. Is it nice? Yes, to a certain extent. Is it worth it? Hell no in my opinion, I'd rather get served at Chilli's or TGIF for about the same amount of money with better food, ambiance and service overall. Or if I want cheap, I ask Ramly to do it.

Still, choice is good. Let's see how business goes for these places.

Wow! Jennifer Lopez?

I think suppose to be J DOnuts is it?

J.Co donuts

LOL ... my mistake ...

---

Added on April 22, 2008, 10:17 pmI agree with you ... Chili's not bad at all ...

if really want a burger ... i think Ramly at SS15 damn good ...

they make the ramly burger more classy ...

I doubt the Wendy's burgers in KL will taste as good as the burgers served by Wendy's in other countries..

Burger sizes served here are too small compared to the same burger served by the same chain but in a different country (out of Asia)..


This post has been edited by UE7: Apr 26 2008, 11:26 AM

Does the malaysian Wendy's has the Baconator on their menu?

just look at the pictures already make me hungry la. damn. gotta try it soon. maybe next weekend

well one thing i have to mention about starbucks tho, the coffees are awfully expensive. but after drinking them in aussie, and singapore i realized that the prices are relatively the same, adjusted towards the country's exchange rate. which kinda suggested that its not because the directors that own starbucks malaysia that sets the price at that level but instead its the main starbucks people themselves. also one must note that starbucks use their brand of coffee beans which you cannot compare to malaysian brands, you are after all drinking imported branded coffee.

also on the matter of overcharging and the states, in the states things are a lot different. theres this huge range of burgers that are from the cheap 1 buck to the 6 dollar ones. we dont have that here and we operate in a different market, also note that the mcd's in malaysia have woeful food quality, time and time again i went. their burgers are as cold as ice, their lettuce sometimes come out old, and lets not get to the bread and patty. its also relatively smaller and have got less quality then the other burger outlets in malaysia. actually you can see the pattern, mcd cheap but horrible quality and small, others expensive but better quality and a bigger size.

so i guess what rocks your boat, its a choice on the consumers to make

Twisted Frosty = Mcflurry?

I've tried Wendy's, Burger King, McD and Carl's Junior in the US. The sizes are the same lah. Maybe more options there, but actual sizes of the patty are the same.

This really depends

Asians do generally have smaller appetite, there is no point serving a giant size burger if most of the people can't finish it. What's more, it's not healthy to eat too much

Carls Junior burger taste better.

Tried Wendy's burger yesterday ... not too bad

So crowded! Line up till outside..everyone so semangat to queue leh!

disappointing... carl's way better... but price more of course...
maybe due to high traffic... QC a bit low...
but still a fresh choice than KFC/McD/PizzaHut...
extensive menu.. will take 1 year before i try everything on the menu...
new target shrimp burger.

Theres one in IOI Mall now. Still under construction

Will go and try one soon

can someone take pic on the burget set? hehe

Google Wendy's burger for the image, it's almost the same.

hehe but picture they mosly got make up one ....sure very pretty one

I miss Grandy's too! Used to have the 'steak' all the time, and my parents will take the porridge. My adik beradik and I were little back then, so we wanted the steak... porridge is for old people and I loooved the cinnamon rolls. And I miss White Castle too!!! What happened to all these restaurants???

Went to Sunway Pyramid before Wendy's was opened. Saw that they put the Wendy's sign on the ice rink too. Burger looks nice, especially the teaser poster. Is this the only outlet in Malaysia???

This post has been edited by shikuzika: May 14 2008, 04:48 PM

Grandy's steak the best.. now.. almost the same you can also have it at Chili's but much most costlier.

I saw advertisement they will open in Times Square too

Wendy's burger!! When are you coming to Penang? we've got very limited choice here in Penang..

wendy's burger suck la.

1/4 pounder with cheese, 2 1/4 pounder with cheese and 3 1/4 pounder with cheese.
i ate the 3 1/4 pounder with cheese. looks so small, 3 pieces of pathetic meat and some "potato bread like" bun.
RM 17++ for the medium combo. suck man.
i rather go carl's jr and pay a lil bit more.

yeah carl's jr's burger look like the real deal.. the burger's like as big as my face.. but the price is deterring for me to try leh

RM18 I can eat lamb chop liao >_<

Tried Wendy @ Sunway -not bad -the burger is quite big.

I think they dont have any outlet in KL just yet-rite?

There used to be a White Castle in Klang but I am not sure if its still there......

IMHO, Wendy's burger is not as good as i tot it was... i was hoping tat i will at least scream a 'wow' in my heart when i eat it... but in the end, it was a disappointment... still prefer carl's jr...
