McRib (U.S.A)
The McRib has peaked as a fan favourite, so much so that restaurants in the U.S.A are inspired to make their own McRib burgers. Here, a juicy pork patty is shaped into a slab of ribs, then coated in rich barbecue sauce and packed in a subway-style bun. Its sweetness is counterbalanced by slivered onions and tart pickles, making this hearty burger a savour delight. As Singapore’s McDonald’s is halal-certified, you will need to travel out to try this juicy baby.
Churros (South Korea)

As someone with a massive sweet tooth, having a piping hot, sugary snack so conveniently available at Macs would be a dream come true. Plus, having a churro on hand to dunk into the Hot Fudge sundae sounds divine.
Big Brekkie Burger (Australia)

The Big Brekkie Burger upgrades the typical cheeseburger by adding bacon strips, fried egg, and an entire hash brown to the mix. It’s extremely decadent, and the kind of breakfast item that’ll make you want to dive back into bed for a mid-morning nap.
Cheesy Egg Bun (Thailand)
Image adapted from: @hotnow_app The only thing that could make a warm, jiggly omelette better is gooey cheese to give it an oozy centre. This Cheesy Egg Bun from Thailand is just what it explains it is; the three elements complement each other to make a savoury beast of a breakfast You can in addition order it with Pepper Chicken for a protein fix in the A.M.
McPoutine (Canada)
Image credit: @heatrowlesy I can’t be the only one who thinks that fries are the best part of a fast-food meal. A recreation of Canada’s speciality, the McPoutine features the chain’s signature skinny fries coated in savoury chicken gravy and melty cheese curds. Creamy and rich, poutine sounds like it could beat the curry sauce as a dip. If you need a dose of protein, you can top up a dollar and get three strips of bacon!
Bulgogi Burger (South Korea)

The tender patty is made from Korean pork that’s coated in the tart, caramel-like bulgogi sauce, and topped with lettuce for an element of freshness. That being said, the bulgogi taste is subtle and not as punchy as the real agreement.
McKroket (Netherlands)
The McKroket is one of the most popular food items in the Netherlands, with tourists marking it on their must-try lists. The burger pairs a sharp mustard mayo with a croquette that’s filled with beef bits. The filling is creamy with salty notes. However, its taste might be overpowering for some, so get this only if you’re a fan of cheese.
Ube McDip (The Philippines)
Image credit: My Cebuano Challenge’s Facebook page I was shocked to find out that other countries had more McDip flavours beyond the usual chocolate. One of which is the Ube McDip from the Philippines . It comprises a vanilla cone that’s covered in a purple yam shell. Besides its aesthetic purple hue, the ice-cream has a subtle earthy aroma that elevates the sweet taste of yam.
Mcspicy Paneer (India)
