The McDonald’s menu is some what iconic in its own right. The Big Mac, the McChicken Sandwich, the McFlurries, and, of course, the McNuggets.
However, if you’ve ever visited a McDonald’s in another nation, you may have felt a pang of envy as you looked at what’s on offer. Tell me you’re not tempted to book a flight to Malaysia in 2021 only to sample that Cookies & Cream Pie. Perhaps you’ve spoken with your Indian aunt and arranged for a special delivery of 20 Veggie Maharaja Macs. Having said that, we’d be fine if the Philippines’ McSpaghetti didn’t make a debut in the UK anytime soon…
McSpaghetti was a popular dish at American McDonald’s in the 1970s, although it has since been phased out. However, it is still available in the Philippines.
Americans adore McDonald’s hamburgers and fries, but wouldn’t it be good to expand out from the Quarter Pounder and Big Mac every now and then? And we’re not talking about throwing in a Whopper here and there. This is an excellent time to arrange a flight to Bali, Indonesia, for an entirely different take on the McDonald’s experience.
The McSpicy Paneer, a cheeseburger unlike any other, is served at McDonald’s in India and features a crispy patty cooked with paneer, a popular Indian cheese. It’s served with lettuce and a creamy tandoori sauce.
McDonald’s Malaysia’s fruity McFlurry blends the best of both worlds. Vanilla ice cream with sweet, juicy mango and chocolatey Oreo chunks blended in!
If you visit a McDonald’s in Hawaii, you’ll see a unique regional breakfast meal on the menu. A breakfast platter of rice, scrambled eggs, Spam, and Portuguese sausage is available in restaurants.
It’s not just the savoury McDonald’s menu items that differ from country to country. McCafés also offer a variety of sweet delights, such as this Matcha Red Bean Layer Cake, which can be found in Hong Kong branches. Layers of matcha pancakes, matcha cream, and red beans make up the mille crêpe cake (roughly translated as thousand pancake cake).
The giant Chicken Big Mac, which was previously exclusively available in Australia, debuted in the United Kingdom and Ireland in February 2022. Two crispy chicken breast patties, cheese, lettuce, pickles, and, of course, Big Mac sauce are all featured on the triple-layered bread. It was only available as a limited-edition item until March, but we’re sure UK fans will be hoping it stays longer!
It’s made to think how much the iconic Mcdonald’s menu varies so much around the world. There’s some items here we definitely need to try and some perhaps we’ll save for a rainy day…
The McDonalds Japenese Cherry Blossom looks like a win also!
