Cheese Whopper

2.5

from Burger King

While cheese generally tends to make any given burger taste better, the Whopper seems to be just fine without cheese, perhaps even better without.  Not sure why, maybe because of all fresh vegetables, so the cheese gets lost in the mix – though of course many burgers also have loads of veg, and the cheese still manages to do its thing.  I dunno.

Whether just at this particular Burger King location, the only one that I’ve been to since our return from Manila, or it’s a thing across all Burger King restaurants in Korea, the burgers are very careless assembled (see for example 12.079 Guinness Whopper; 11.203 Chili Crab Whopper).  By coincidence, the only other post on GMTD to feature a Cheese Whopper was in Fiji, where I was complimentary of the construction (see 10.224 Whopper with Cheese).
