I recently had a layover in the Oman airport, and I noticed that they have a McDonald’s location in their food court. I wasn’t even particularly hungry, but I mean, obviously. Bonus McDonald’s Around the World post? Don’t mind if I do!
Wow! Momo doesn’t quite fit in with the other American-inspired fast food joints I’ve written about so far — but it turns out that finding local fast food chains in India isn’t all that easy. All of the ones that seemed promising turned out to be from other countries — mostly the UAE.
Wow! Momo is close enough. Though they mostly specialize in momos (which are Tibetan-style dumplings), the menu has at least a couple of burgers.
Yes, I went to McDonald’s in India again. The menu is so odd; I can’t help myself! I may have a problem (this is the last time, I promise).
Yes, this is my third visit to McDonald’s in India, but how am I supposed to resist when they have so much oddball stuff like this on the menu?
This is actually my second visit to a McDonald’s in India (I previously tried the Maharaja Mac, India’s version of a Big Mac); the menu here is such a treasure trove of international McDonald’s weirdness that I couldn’t help but come back. There might even be a third visit!
Beef isn’t really a thing in India. It’s outright illegal to sell it in some parts of the country, so obviously, McDonald’s here is a beef-free zone.
This makes it difficult, if not impossible, for McDonald’s to sell some of its most iconic creations.
I was a bit wary of trying the Salted Egg Yolk Loaded Fries after the almost comically anemic “loaded” fries I had at McDonald’s in Hong Kong. But I couldn’t resist. Salted egg yolk fries? At McDonald’s? I’ve gotta.
Japan is pretty much the best when it comes to food. I think we can all agree on that. American-style fast food, on the other hand? They kind of suck at that.
I don’t need much convincing to eat a fried McDonald’s pie. That crispy, crackily exterior is basically the best thing ever, and no one is ever going to convince me otherwise.
The good news: after visiting one international fast food joint after another specializing in fried chicken, I’ve found one that features a traditional burger-heavy menu. The bad news: it’s terrible.
