Today’s Memory Monday photo of 芋頭 Pie from McDonald’s comes courtesy of a friend and fellow traveller, Alan Chau.
In case you are wondering there isn’t a problem with the photo and your eyes aren’t playing tricks with you, the taro is in fact purple.
A man of few words Alan states the following…
“McDonald’s in China with local flavour menu. Yummy.”
So, I’ll elaborate on his behalf. ; )
儘管我們被邀請跟我們一起旅行，但我們這次幸運的是去了中國，儘管從我到世界其他城市/國家的旅行中我知道，您必須檢查快餐店。
All the usual North American chains such as McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, etc. offer a local flavour menu.
In Hawaii McDonald’s serves 拉麵 麵條和 垃圾郵件, in Hong Kong they serve macaroni with fried egg and ham for breakfast and in Bangkok McDonald’s serves 粥品 for breakfast. My feeling is this. You’re on an adventure! Try something new! Say to yourself “I can get a big mac when I’m at home but only here can I get _____________ （填空）“. Most importantly, don’t forget to take a photo of whatever it is you are eating!
That top photo is of me in Hong Kong with the man Ronald McDonald himself. That’s a double pork burger on the left for $9 HKD and at the top right of the sign, yes folks this is a Sweet Potato Pie for $6 HKD! I’ll tell you this, though, if they served the purple Taro Pie I would have had that one instead. Yummy indeed!
We’d love to hear about your fast food adventure with a local flavour menu. Leave a reply below.
