Title: McDonald's goes local in Asia
Post by: Foxy Brown on January 03, 2006, 06:56:59 PM

McDonald's Corp., the world's largest fast-food company, has added rice burgers -- fried beef slices served between two pressed rice cakes -- to its menu in Singapore in a bid to appeal to local palates. (http://money.cnn.com/2006/01/03/news/international/mcdonalds_rice.reut/)

we´ve always had rice dishes from McDonald´s in the Philippines, if there wasn´t any, I doubt McDo would be as popular.

those rice burgers sound good :bounce:

Call me a skeptic but it is actually more of an effort by McD's to "coax" business away from Mos Burger rather than appeal to local palates. :P

Now, does that Mos burger description not remind you of something that you just read in Boxy's post? :D

anyone in the Vancouver BC area (or intend of visiting Vancouver?). you MUST go to Vera's Burger Shack.

*drool*
a description for one of the burgers I remember from their menu:
"Double cheese, Double Bacon, Double Patties, Double Bypass"

my god that thing was good. I think it was called the "Vick" or something to that effect. I might be wrong... but whatever. all their burgers are freakishly good.

(sorry, off topic, I know... but seriously... these are good)

It probably does, considering the sheer amount of meat and bacon and cheese that would be in a burger like that.
