McYumminess in Hong Kong

Yes, you read the title correctly! This is your photographic proof of the cool menu items in Hong Kong! Unlike the McD’s in Korea, McD’s put a twist on the traditional noodle/pasta-based breakfasts in Hong Kong. The first morning there, I tried the Spicy Grilled Chicken in Twisty Pasta combo, which came with a hashbrown and coffee. I could barely finish the pasta so I pawned off my hashbrown to someone else. Too much food for the first meal of the day!

The photo above makes me laugh every time I see it. My friend has a “Ew wtf is this?” look written all over his face! haha He was not impressed with pasta for breakfast. He was going on and on about how his double sausage and egg McMuffin was infinitely better than my breakfast (which I would like to deny because it just looked like grease overload between an English muffin. bleh!).

On the burger menu, they had a Big N’ Tasty which looked amazing in the menu photos. To be honest, it wasn’t all that big or tasty. It tasted like a Big Xtra to me with two slices of tomatoes instead of one. Looking back, I should’ve tried the McWings instead of this burger. Oh well! Next time, I guess?

The last new menu item we tried was the Chicken Supreme. Of all the new burgers, I think this one was he most impressive. Look at all those toppings! I was also thoroughly impressed that the burger came wrapped in wax paper inside the box. Again, this guaranteed that the lettuce would stay between the bun and not become a salad on the side (like the Big Macs in Canada… I swear I’m not that bitter about this lol).

One thing I wish that McD’s in Hong Kong still had is the Red Bean Pie. I love red bean desserts and the thought of this pie sounds incredible! Sadly, they discontinued this pie and replaced it with the Taro Pie. I’m not a huge fan of taro flavoured desserts so I decided to pass on this one.

Looking at these photos makes me hungry all over again!
