Teacher: in one sentence use imagery to describe the food you ate. Everyone: it was sweet, savory and good. Mikey Chen: "each layer absolutely beautifully constructed. Look at the juice on this patty. When I squeeze it, the pineapple juice flows down over the burger like a graceful, flavorful, river of sweetness of cascading down a perfectly constructed beefy clift."
The shake-shake bag is so simple yet genius! Why isn't it sold in the USA? It's so simple and you don't need more equipment to implement it. On the fries, the chicken wings or even on the chicken nuggets. This is a simple and low cost idea that needs to be world wide.
A lot of country already did it. Some permanently put it in the menu, some just make it as seasonal menu, like it just appear every 3 month or something like that. Ironic that Mc.Donald actually came from US, but i've been there and US menu taste like crap...
Wan CoupS In Hong Kong the burgers are also cheaper than the us,but unfortunately the burger mike ate in this video was a seasonal item and is no longer available,and our normal burger patties taste the same as the us
I still have a $100 Hong Kong dollars in my wallet and every time I go to a store I pull it out thinking I have 100 bucks and then realize it’s worth like 10 and I can’t spend it in the US anyway 😂
King LowTier just wondering why people keep complaining about the ice cream machine in McD, because it always works here in McDonald’s Indonesia. Well, at least I always got my McFlurry whenever I go there
@@anggiaangela it's because here in the US they NEVER work. No matter which McDonald's you go to, if you ask for ice cream the employees always say, "it's broken. Sorry..."
And if its not broken they say it's to early or to late and they aren't severing ice cream at this time... I swear at the McDonald's in Oregon only serves ice cream 11am to about 5pm then the rest of the time it's not set up or its broken!!!
Not bad when the minimum salary in HK is $37($3.70), so in comparison this burger would've felt like a $17 burger you'd order off the menu in the U.S. Average income in HK is $2400 USD but the cost of living is so high there. It's like living in Manhattan on a $4000/month income which sounds like a lot but a two room apartment is around $2500 in Manhattan without utilities. So this food was actually pretty expensive, but not to a foreigner of course.
They're customizable in the US too though, and have always been. You can order a Big Mac with 10 patties. A QP with extra cheese and onions, no meat or bun. Or whatever. They'll do it for you. You just have to tell them. And obviously they can only make stuff out of the things they have available.
That's basically just the Signature burgers/chicken sandwiches. Those are amazing for being a McDonald's sandwich and about 7 dollars or 10ish for the whole meal
Perhaps Americans only care about the meat, sauce, size and portion, instead of varieties (or creativities, or innovation, or experiment, or whatever it is called).
Cee Vee There actually is a kind of fancy McDonald’s in America, I think it’s in Florida the UA-cam channel Hellthy Junkfood did a video there. I mean it’s McDonald’s not a steak house.
bruhhhh could you imagine the mcdonalds workers in america trying to make those orders????? they would literally have a stroke. they can barely remember to put chicken in the mcchickens. im actually glad they dont have those menus here for the workers sake
if all goes well, i will be studying abroad in Hong Kong this upcoming fall semester and my goodness your videos are making me even MORE excited for this journey!!!
Hi, I've never commented on these videos before but I'm currently unwell and your videos help me during hospital when I have no appetite/ need a distraction from the way my meds make me feel so thanks for allowing me to escape through your videos!
Cristian Baldelli YES, the citizens, dipshit. Please refrain saying ANYTHING on a topic unless you actually research it and know what you’re talking about. The US household debt alone has hit $14 trillion this year and loan debts are at $980 billion.
The closest thing to that McDonald’s in the US is the Create Your Taste kiosks which was in NYC locations for a while but that one in HK is fancy. There are some McDonalds with really fancy architecture like here on Long Island in New Hyde Park where there’s one in a 1795 mansion
The work ethic there is probably a million times better and it shows. You make me food like that and put that much effort in presentation too you can have 20 an hour 🤣
In the McDonalds in Hawaii we have Taro pie (taro is what makes poi for those who don’t know), and Haupia pie (coconut meat jelly) besides the apple pie. We also have the customized sandwich menu in certain locations too.🤙🏽
It's amazing!!!!!.....even though Mickey explores all these amazing foods from around the world.........his exploration of Foreign McDonald's restaurants' offerings are.........some of the most fascinating & enlightening content on his videos......keep it up Mickey!!!!!

I remember eating at the McDonald's TST HK. My wife and I ordered the Angus Limited edition Quarter Pounder. Truffle fries. The Black Tea is unbelievably refreshing. The day after we went across the street to ICHIRAN HK... BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! Planning go back this October, i hope to see Mike Chen... that would be amazing!
oh man... this video made me miss Hong Kong even more :( last time i went to this mcdonalds, the garlic mcwings werent as crispy as i'd hoped but man looking at yours... im like.. salivating lol
I will have to check out the Hong Kong McDonald's thank you Mikey 😍 My mouth is watering, I am vicariously through you living my food nirvana!!👍 Keep doing what you're doing brother!✌️😎 I'm loving it 😉😎
We used to have the "Create Your Taste" burgers at Maccas here in Australia, but they stopped doing it about 2 years ago. We still have table service though!
Goals: To have an appetite and ability to eat as much food as Mike can. The amount of ground I can cover by eating my way around the world are endless. Also, growing up in Guam, they used to fry their apple pie in McDonalds, the dissapointment I felt when I had it here state side.
"I really hate myself right now" - MC I literally LOL'ed. Thank you for speaking your mind, and being you. Keep up the honest commentary about the food you eat.
Omg 😮 I would love to go experience all that at McDonald’s Hong Kong ! Omg their menu is so extravagant 😍 Wow I’m always amazed at what McDonald’s are serving in different countries. So cool Mikey, love the choco pie and that burger is insane 🤭😋
Hi mike Chen I love ur videos and if u ever go to Bakersfield California there a Koran bqq is called tofu house I been there it is so good I want that u will try it
Never ceases to amaze me how much Mikey can eat! Never change, Mikey! They looked delicious, I can hear his heart racing and his dentist rubbing his hands lol
Eludiastar, ha ha ha, yes, British food, one of the worst in the world, no flavour, no salt and pepper, everything fried, etc. I got to have my spice, hot sauce etc.
Talking of burgers, I was at Glastonbury festival here in the UK last week and ate a fair few really good ones. Have you ever thought of doing something around festival food?
It’s midnight now here in Seattle and I’m still watching your video Mike.... oh boy!! And also I’m pregnant my gosh!! I’m hungry... the chocolate pie makes me hungry 🤤🤤
Does this make anyone else more upset at McDonald's new "International Menu" items?
🙋🙋🙋🙋 this is why I love Jollibee more ahhaahaha
YES!

@@silenia2547 USA... land of preservatives and food additives. Ironically it's the rich that eat more natural because it's way healthier.
@@silenia2547 That's because McDonald's has a monopoly in America. They dont have much competition, so they get away with selling crap.
Oh yeah shake fries are so good
Everybody speaking on this wish they had all the selection this McDonalds has. Heck, I would be happy with the prices.
i just had to look up the conversions and damn those prices.
yeah the prices are great, McDonalds in Germany (where I live) is so expensive, eating there is just not worth it compared to others places
That's an Aussie hamburger! Pineapple and egg. All that's missing is beet
Ohhh I am craving for some burger now....

The most important thing I learned about HK McDonald's; THEIR ICE CREAM MACHINES WORK!!!

Here in Pakistan, it is always working. I wonder why States has this problem.
@@kinglowtier, yeah, and I wonder how often they clean the machine.
Not bad --- about $7.70 for a fully customize McDonald's burger. What you added would have cost well over $10 in the USA. Good video! 😎🤗🤗😎
I think American currency is strong af so when we take our exchange rate to other counties, the food will always turn out cheaper. Score!
Not bad when the minimum salary in HK is $37($3.70), so in comparison this burger would've felt like a $17 burger you'd order off the menu in the U.S. Average income in HK is $2400 USD but the cost of living is so high there.

America...home of McDonalds, yet we have the most crappiest restaurant in the world. Why McDonalds? Why?
Because Americans will literally eat any slop you give them
Perhaps Americans only care about the meat, sauce, size and portion, instead of varieties (or creativities, or innovation, or experiment, or whatever it is called).
Bc Americans demand for food to be fast and real food takes 15-30 mins to make
I feel you boo ! I feel you !
The UK has even less menu items than the USA so even if we had USA items it would be an upgrade for us.
i really like Mikey.. but it drives me crazy when he squeezes the juice out of everything haha
Ryzzhan it wouldn’t be food porn if you didn’t get at least one juice squeeze shot
Even out of his d....
AE 86 my god ew
Exactly 😭
AE 86 Lovely.
I want to go to there.
I wish American McDonald's had a better selection like this one!
me too
For the horde.
Riiiiggt
Selection and quality
Cee Vee There actually is a kind of fancy McDonald’s in America, I think it’s in Florida the UA-cam channel Hellthy Junkfood did a video there. I mean it’s McDonald’s not a steak house.
"Why is McDonalds not doing this everywhere?" Because America is about Value, not Quality.
G Wilson value basically is quality I think you mean speed of the slop
But he gets more for his money in HK McDonald's
bruhhhh could you imagine the mcdonalds workers in america trying to make those orders????? they would literally have a stroke. they can barely remember to put chicken in the mcchickens. im actually glad they dont have those menus here for the workers sake
Quantity not quality
$200 HK is $25.75 in USD, for all that food. Big Mac combo meals are almost $10 in the US.
The McDonalds in the US is still living in the 1960s while Mickie Ds like in Hong Kong are modern and innovative
And Americans think they’re civilised smh
It’s mainly because it’s possible there is not much demand in the U.S for something like this.
EXACTLY!!!!
if all goes well, i will be studying abroad in Hong Kong this upcoming fall semester and my goodness your videos are making me even MORE excited for this journey!!!
Probably shouldn't be binge watching your videos at 34 weeks pregnant when I can't travel across the world to fix the new cravings I now have LOL

Now I need to go back to my kitchen for finding foods to eat😂😂😂😂
Mike: THE BEST PART OF THE CONE IS THE END OF IT
*PUTS THE WHOLE CONE IN HIS MOUTH*
Create your own taste is the best thing that's been in McDonald's internationally.
Then they get rid of it in the US
If you do mobile order, you can kind of customize your food to an extent. Not the same but at least it’s something
Lol 69
"Best part of the cone. The end of it"
*deepthroats entire cone, point first

this made me laugh for so long
It’s so cool how you have the opportunity’s to travel all around the world, I hope one day I can do something like that.
