No more ketchup stations in US either. Not even packets if you don't ask for them when you order and they don't ask you if you want the packets. I often forget and have to go back to counter after I get my meal.

@AleeseLightyear 10 месяцев назад

BLASPHEMY! One thing America will always need are ketchup stations in all McDonalds!

@dodid0 Год назад

I remember in McDonalds Mexico they had a Jalapeño Station, where one could aply as many spicy chilies to the patty as one may wish. Talk about Country specialisation. It seems they´ve also done a good job in China.

That's AMAZING!!!

I really enjoyed this video. When I lived in Suzhou, there was a McDonald's in my building. My routine was to have a McDonalds breakfast every Saturday morning. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great memories!

Spicy McChicken Wings and Spicy McChicken Sandwich are always my favorites

@leemingwong5749 Год назад

It is so true that American fast food chains are more like restaurants than a fast food chain and have so many options.

@Adam-gg7ps Год назад

Thanks for sharing. McD's left Russia, and was replaced by Vkusna ee Tochka, and the quality of the food is now so much better! When I lived in Indonesia, it was like #1, Fried Chicken, #2 Fried Chicken with rice, #3 Spicy Fried Chicken #4 Spicy Fried Chicken and rice #5 Chicken and Noodle #6 Spicy Chicken and Noodle, and #7, bringing up the rear, was the Beef Burger.

The 1st wrap reminded me of the Sausage Farmers Wrap from Tim Hortons in Canada. It's sooo good

Thanks for sharing your experience with us! McD's is usually a restaurant I check out during my travels in any city. Would def. try out the local menu items at McD's the next time I go to Beijing.

On my first trip to China (2008), I visited a McDonald's that I remember not for the food but for the restroom. I was relieved they had an American sit-down toilet, but when I went to use it the seat was up and there were sneaker prints on the rim. I realized the woman I'd passed on the way in had used it as a step-up squat toilet. Preferable for limber her, but non-limber me was relieved to put the seat down and sit!

@AleeseLightyear Год назад

hahahah that's the beauty of Mcdonald's in China!

@nanzhou1725 Год назад

Haha, most people in China don't like sitting on the toilet when they go to the public toilet, because the public toilet is used by countless people, and it is easy to get infected with some unknown bacteria. But in my own home, I sit on the toilet and use it for myself. I am sure I can rest assured. Like most public toilets in China, they are basically squat toilets, and a sitting toilet is added.

@willengel2458 Год назад

Squat toilet is more natural and healthier for the users. the commode was invented by the Egyptian, they have a stolen copy at the British Loot Museum.

@KrisVonCN Год назад

LOL. Because Chinese really can't stand the public sit-down toilet, because lots of people had used it. We get used to squat toilet often. Well, foot prints on the edge of toilet really made you feel bad. Please understand that situation. Maybe the MD needs to provide customers one-time toilet paper for the edge of the toilet set if possible. LOL.

@marymaryquitecontrary 10 месяцев назад

@@KrisVonCN I really didn't feel bad, just enlightened. I used many squat toilets myself in my travels. Not good at it, but you do what you have to, as that lady did.

@Callyinchina Год назад

Awesome video 😊😊😊 I like the taro pie from McDonald’s from China 🤭🤭 so yummy! 👌🏽✨🤭

@josephchai5423 Год назад

The porridge and you tiao. If the you tiao feel oily, dip it in the porridge and eat it. Most people tear the you tiao into smaller pieces, and mixed them with porridge to eat them. Or if you drink hot coffee, you can can dip the you tiao in there. Anyway, sometime certain Chinese food, like those fried food such as peanut ball, fried shrimp with meat wrapped in tofu skin, etc, feel oily, and you have a bowl of hot porridge with you, then mix them in the porridge will make them easier to eat, since the porridge help to covered up the oilyness.

@LittleAmyHe Год назад

We have taro pie in Hawaii McDonalds too, but I would say ours is sweet. My favorite from China is the red bean pie from when I was a child. I’m not a sweet red bean fan, but that pie was EVERYTHING! When I was in China in 2019, I noticed that the beef patty and McFlurry tastes different. I ordered on the screen in a mall. After I sat down, the server came over with my family’s food in 3 minutes and I was like “What in the Chinese efficiency is this?!” One day I hope they serve jianbing guozi instead of wraps.

@andrewc3994 Год назад

You have a good taste!!! Love red bean pie

@andrewc3994 Год назад

Great video!! Your camera and editing make feel I'm there with you in a Chinese McDonald's. My favorite way of eating youtiao is to dip it in the soy milk or a rice noodle soup. It will have that crispy and juicy texture. Yum!

@thoracicfuture Год назад

Thanks for the tour! I googled "gadus" and it's the genus for codfishes. That still doesn't explain why the single patty version has its original name, though.

Love your content! I see you have your nails done, is it easy to get a manicure over there? Do they have acrylics? Thanks ❤

@AleeseLightyear Год назад

Thanks a ton!!! I was never big into getting my nails done until I moved to China because it was the first time I could actually afford it! I think I may make a video about my fave nail salon here. Most places don't do acrylics, and the place I go to, it's quite expensive to have them done. So what you see are my natural nails with gel

@marko1781 Год назад

the fried bread is something you usually eat with the rice porridge. you can dip the bread in the rice then eat it. or break the bread into pieces then put it into the rice, let it soak up then eat it with the porridge.

@AleeseLightyear Год назад

I know, but that still doesn't make it very tasty in my opinion

@willengel2458 Год назад

fried bread is actually fried dough/straight cruller without powder sugar.

Ok, first, can we talk about the avocado fuzzy robe/sleeping bag you’re wearing in the beginning? Is it a long pullover or footed or? It looks so comfy!!
