The fast food restaurant1 just made baked spaghetti Bolognese available again! Hooray!
It's really just a regular old spaghetti Bolognese that's placed in a metal tub with a plastic holder and stuffed into a low-temperature oven (~80°C, enough to scald you but not enough to boil water) for a bit. The sauce dries a bit into a paste which makes it very satisfying to break into. Not only that, the liberal amount of cheese added to the sauce makes it that much better.
Together with the cola, the whole thing costs HK$34.00 (US$4.38). By my estimates2 there is a total of about 600 g total food biomass altogether, drink excluded. Not entirely bad!

1 Yeah, I know, fast food restaurant.3 This isn't exactly McDonald's though. These fast food restaurants do actually serve real meals with standard staples (rice, noodles, spaghetti) and generally do leave you feeling full for the next couple hours.
2 I ate for 24 minutes. I take about 1.3 mouthfuls per minute. I also take about 20 g of food per mouthful. 20 g/mouthful × 1.3 mouthfuls/minute × 24 minutes = 624 g, which we round to 600 due to the roughness of each estimation.
3 Yay I can footnote without fear that I have got the numbering wrong! Also, footnotes in footnotes!
