McDonalds: Thailand - Bento rice box

It’s not all burgers and fries at McDonald’s Thailand, which we recently learned is selling a convenient deep-fried chicken lunch box (or, Karaage Bento, as we call it in Japan).
The lunch box is no more than pieces of deep-fried chicken covered in teriyaki sauce with a hearty serving of jasmine rice, so simple that we wouldn’t be surprised to find it sitting on the shelf of a convenience store.
This isn’t the first rice-based meal out of McDonald’s Thailand: one of the current promotional items is the mouth-watering McD Namtok Rice, which comes with the choice of beef, chicken or pork.
Your reporter had the chance to try a chicken & rice box for himself and the taste was mostly defined by the sweet teriyaki sauce, which had permeated into the fried batter to make it taste like some sort of deep-fried confection more than anything.
By contrast, the chicken was lean and I was able to eat the whole meal without feeling too weighed down afterwards.
I did however feel that the chicken would have gone much better with moister rice instead of the Thai jasmine, though that could just be my Japanese preference.
Overall, the chicken is delicious and it makes a good light meal for when you’re on the go, and affordable at only around 140 yen (US $1.79)! I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing the item come to McDonald’s Japan (with Japanese rice, of course).

McDonalds: Hawaii - Ramen

McDonald’s is known for offering regional dishes at its international stores to please local customers.
We recently heard of a certain McDonald’s that sells its own version of Japan’s favorite noodle dish, ramen. We wouldn’t think much of this if it were being served somewhere like Japan or China, countries typically associated with the dish.
However, it turns out this McDonald’s ramen is found in none other than the land of burgers and fries itself, America.
Well, Hawaii, to be precise.
The “ramen” is actually Saimin, a noodle dish very similar to Japanese ramen and a local Hawaiin favorite.
There are a few theories on the origins of Saimin, with some saying it was brought over from Japan by plantation workers in the early 20th century. In reality, Hawaii has seen waves of immigrant workers from so many different Asian countries that it could have come from anywhere—or maybe just combined a little of the best from everywhere.
Saimin has been on the McDonalds menu in Hawaii for years and rumor has it that it was actually the very first regional item to be offered on a McDonald’s menu anywhere.
Your reporter in Hawaii visited a McDonald’s to see how it stacks up with Japanese ramen and, honestly, it stacks up pretty well! The soup is a light, clear broth that’s refreshing and easy to drink. The noodles are slightly thick, similar to Japanese udon noodles, and don’t have that “bad noodle smell” you get with low-grade ramen.
It wouldn’t hurt if the noodles had a little more body, but altogether, McDonald’s Saimin so tasty that I’d go so far as to say it rivals the standard ramen sold at most restaurants in Japan! And it feels like a steal at only $3.29!
It seems not all McDonald’s in Hawaii have Saimin on the menu and not many people, especially tourists, know about it—after all, not everyone puts McDonald’s on their to-do list while visiting a foreign country. If you do happen to find yourself under the golden arches during your next Hawaii vacation though, we recommend skipping the familiar burger and fries for a cup of Saimin.
You can shaka us for it later.

McDonalds: Canada

The burgers are similar to the ones at Burger King, even the names are similar such as Junior and Mushroom Swiss!
The apple pie is different from the rest of the world too!
McDonalds: Norway

Their website was extremely boring and their food too!
There was nothing exciting about their burgers apart from the IDOL sharing pack.

Their website was irritating and slow to use.
One of the items looked really delicious, but I dont know what it is.
It looks like a baked potato with cheese inside.
Nice salad sauces with a countryside design.
McCafe: Brazil

The variety at Brazil's McCafe seem good, especially the cute cupcakes.
I really liked those heart shaped decorations on top of the cupcakes.
The website was slow and irratating to use!
