One of the place that warrant a quick check out for any tourist and at any destination is the local McDonalds. Every country have their own variation of McDonalds and did Japan. McDonalds in Japan is not cheap at all, it is actually more expensive that the local ramen stalls around the tube stations. Nevertheless, they have a few meals that I don’t see in Malaysia. First off is the McPork. Though sounds interesting, it does not taste that well, its kinda blend, and chicken taste much better. Our favourite were the McGriddles. Its just Sausage, Egg, Cheese and top off with a nicely baked sweet bread/muffin. Just mouth watering. For non-porkes (non pork eaters), this should be a good alternative. There are the regular Cheese Burgers and Big Mac, but why have them while we can taste the local specials. While we were Tokyo, there was a Japanese Talk show that compares the McDonalds across Asia. India has the cheapest Meals, and they have a Double Chicken burger in place of Big Mac. And this is huge, so huge that the host almost puke finishing it. Thai has some spicy stuff and Malaysia was not mention at all. McDonalds pricess across the world have been used as economic comparison, its just interesting how a global company can have such an impact in so many ways. Anyway, if you are ever in Japan, checkout some of the local McDonalds pick, its just boring not to.
