When travelling around the world we inevitably end up visiting local McDonalds. Mostly for breakfast as it serves quite good pancakes (not in Spain though), but also for a fast dinner when kids get tired of trying out ‘strange’ food and want something known. It is interesting to observe how McDonalds adapts to local tastes by offering something from the place. In Spain it has gaspacho and burgers prepared by Spanish Michelin starred chefs, in Malaysia it offers corn as a desert and ‘Bubur Ayam’ (chicken strips with porridge), in Hong Kong it has pasta soup for breakfast and here in Emirates they have McArabia sandwich which is a version of shawarma with pita and chicken and Arabic salad (photo) which is another version of Greek or Turkish salad. It was so delicious (something you don’t normally say about McDonalds food) that would not make shame on a menu in any ‘normal’ restaurant.
