Apparently, the Wendy's fastfood outlet is a common sight in other countries such as the United States and Australia. Besides this one in Sunway Pyramid, I have no idea where the next nearest one is located.
The first thing that we noticed about this fastfood outlet that sets it apart from the others was its pricing of food. You would be required to pay at least a minimum amount of RM10 to experience the tingling sensation of being full. In other words, it is more expensive to eat here compared to the usual McD's or KFC. But hey, you have to treat yourself to something different once in a while, right? 
There were four of us and we each decided to try a different set. I chose Set 8: Ultimate Chicken Grill, simply because it had the word 'Ultimate' in it and I usually do not settle for anything less than outstanding. Except when it blows a hole through my pocket.You know the portions here are big when they tell you that their smallest burger is the quarter pounder. What a coincidence? It happens to be the cheapest one as well. On a sidenote, you should take note that the prices displayed are for the SMALL COMBO - as stated at the fineprint below the price. I missed it at first, as I thought it usually reflects the price of a MEDIUM COMBO. I had to pay RM12+ for a medium set, but oh well.
One thing that doesn't annoy me the way the rest of the other fastfood joints do is the fact that they don't try to cut cost and give you shitty portions. Even their french fries and coke (medium set) are way bigger than usual. KFC and McDonald should learn a thing a two from Wendy's. Now if only Wendy's would lower their prices to that of McDonald's and adopt their marketing strategy plans, they would surely beat the helluva competition out of them.

However, I have to say that my 'Ultimate Chicken Grill' wasn't really THAT ultimate. It was more along the lines of 'satisfying' because when you're done with drinking all that coke, you are most probably filled with so much gas that it won't be funny.A cheap way of stuffing yourself, but it works. My chicken patty was good, but not great. The meat was tender and you could sink your teeth right through it and it feels like tofu. The best part? It comes in a generous portion so you won't start whining about how it is smaller than your digital camera.
They also sell a tub of 'Chilli', some American-styled recipe which I thought was a little overprice. RM5? I can eat lunch and be full. On top of that, it wasn't to our liking as well.
Other sets which we tried were pretty decent and delicious as well. Even the sidedishes such as potatoes were nice.
Verdict!
Quality - 7/10
Quantity - 7/10
Service - 6.5/10
Satisfaction - 7/10
Value for money - 6/10
Will I return? Perhaps once in a blue moon. There are cheaper, nearer and more delicious options than this.
