Review: McDonald’s Chicken Rendang Pie – RM4.50
McDonalds’s Singapore launched the luscious, dark Chocolate Pie.
Not to be outdone, McDonald’s Malaysia offered something new as well. We got salted caramel AND chocolate (take that Singapore!) pie!
McDonald’s: Rio Burger & Mango-Flavoured Desserts Launched In M’sia
It is always interesting (though more often than not, disappointing) to try out new offerings from McDonald’s Malaysia.
I mean, although I’ve always found McDonald’s food or desserts in other countries superior to what’s offered in our dear country, it is with hope that one day McDonald’s Malaysia would introduce a kick-ass product (to me).
Their latest Brazilian-inspired Rio Burger was my lunch yesterday.
McDonald’s Marine Cove at East Coast Park: What to eat here!
Now this is a McDonalds that I’ll be pay daily patronage to!
Why?
Well, take a tour of this 8,439 sq ft space by watching this video and I’m sure you won’t mind visiting this McDonald’s after this!
McDonald’s : Foldover Lazeez Chicken & Mashwi (beef), Chendol Sundae, Bubur Cha Cha Pie
There are only 2 reasons for me to walk into a McDonald’s; (1) I’m a tourist in another country and I’m checking out their local McD’s for something unique, or (2) there is new McDonald’s product launched in Malaysia.
Rest assured I’m not an advocate of Mcdonald’s or any of its food.
So far I’ve tried McD’s in Australia (wagyu burger), Paris (McBaguette), Chengdu (green Chicken Wrap), Hong Kong (macaroni soup and corn pie), Thailand (pork), Singapore and Korea (Bulgogi burger).
For Malaysia the previous Lychee Pie was disappointing, and so was the Spinach Pie.
I didn’t managed to try the Foldover Mashwi and Foldover Lazeez last year so I had to have my curiosity satisfied this year.
And you know what?
I wish I wasn’t the curious sort.
Hong Kong – Mcdonalds breakfast and corn pie
While I’m never an advocate of Mcdonalds or any of its food, I have an obsession for Mcdonalds in other countries.
There is always some form of local element in the food menu which makes it well, somewhat “exotic”.
In Thailand it is always about the PORK burgers while in Paris I had a McBaguette. In Australia a Wagyu beef burger called out to me and I gave in.
Yes, it was way juicier and flavorful compared to the other burgers on the menu.
In Hong Kong it wasn’t so much the burgers that tempted, but the breakfast.
Adapted to Hong Kong’s eating habits and tastes, the breakfast sets offers soupy elbow pasta (which they call ‘twisty pasta’) and PORK sausage Mcmuffins.
BELOW:
Good Morning Breakfast – Mixed Veggies & Egg, Mini Twisty Pasta.
Grilled Chicken Twisty Pasta – juicy grilled boneless chicken patty together with twisty pasta
For both you can either opt for the hot chicken or tonkotsu broth.
McDonalds Malaysia – Spinach and Lychee Pie – review
I have to be extremely curious to step into a McDonalds.
And this time I was curious enough, since there are not one, but TWO (2) new items!
And both are “sides“, not main burgers. I had thought it was funny that 2 sides were introduced simultaneously.
Anyhow the reason to try the lychee pie was because of its name.
If you know Hokkien (specifically Hokkien foul words) or if you are a Malaysian who curse, you would have an idea of what “lychee pie” means when both words were spoken fast.
So after a long day of shoot and merely surviving on a salad box yesterday, I decided that it was a good time as any to clock up some calories.
McDonalds and KFC in Chengdu – Vegetable Wrap with Rice Cakes & Grilled Chicken Burger
On our 3rd day in Chengdu and after 5-6 Sichuan meals, we were all ready for a change of cuisine. In fact most of us were already craving for our familiar western fare.
It so happened that we were scheduled to visit Happy Valley, a theme park in Chengdu where we are expected to watch the dinner show “Paradise Ethos Chinese Cultural Show” that evening. At this theme park, there are shopping options as well as international food chains. And the first 2 that we saw as we walked from the entrance was Mcdonalds and KFC. 😀
