Pigging Out: McDonald's in Asia



Starbucks in Philippines offers pork adobo rolls and corned beef pandesal. And just to give ourselves an excuse to pig out - we had to, just had to, check out McDonald's on all our Asia stops to see how their menus differed.

The 4-piece spicy chicken wings meal (pictured at the top) had a nice kick. You can also order a cup of corn for your side instead of fries. Want an orange juice float, too? And I just had to get some Happy Meal toys for the hag - as a long-awaited gift for the Snoopy toy she got me from a Hong Kong McDonald's ten or so years ago. :)

Chicken wings was also on the menu, as was clam chowder (yum!) and a wasabi fish of fillet sandwich. What is really cool - aside from offering 20-minutes of free wifi - is the separate McCafé set-up in the same store (pictured above), which comes complete with an array of coffee drinks and desserts. Watch out Starbucks!

Want a fried chicken meal with rice or gravy - or how about spaghetti? As I mentioned before, McDonald's has some interesting items on their menu, mainly, I suspect, to compete with Jollibee, which outperforms the fast food juggernaut in this country. But I must ask: where's the McChicken Adobo?
