Comments on: McHawker: McDonald’s in Singapore http://everything-everywhere.com/2008/08/12/mchawker-mcdonalds-in-singapore/ Gary Arndt's journey to travel blog around the world Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:03:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Miu http://everything-everywhere.com/2008/08/12/mchawker-mcdonalds-in-singapore/#comment-21508 Miu Fri, 06 May 2011 10:17:15 +0000 http://everything-everywhere.com/?p=839#comment-21508 The rice burger was a flop and was discontinued in SG, because it paled in comparison to MOS burger, imo. Economic rice/mixed dishes would be rice with sidedishes. So called economic because you get many dishes with rice all on one plate at a cheap price as compared to chinese restaurents (although of lower quality of course) http://farm1.static.flickr.com/60/190519036_a9d9f676ae.jpg Not very tasty but popular with timepressed locals as it's "grab and go", unlike other stalls where you have to wait for the food to be cooked. Actually, I would suggest fast food outlets if they have ""localized" specialties that your country doesn't have. For example, right now there's the seaweed shaker fries promotion and what looks set to be perm Chicken Mcgrill that comes with a nice sourdough bun.

It was quite a novelty as in my home country they had given Ronald the sack years ago...

Chicken Fán-tastics. Because fán is the hanyu version of the Chinese word for rice! Oh I know what those rice burgers were called! Chicken Fán-tastics.

That was 3-4 years ago, maybe they excluded it from the menu since then... Though I liked it a lot. Enjoy food as much as possible while you are there! That's only one of 2 things you can really do there, and people live with... the second one is shopping... not your way.

As for the "economic" rice, I'm not sure how they got that; in any case it's not a direct translation from the Chinese on the top of the sign. Speaking of China, I see that you haven't yet made a trip to the Chinese mainland. I recommend a trip there later this year (or next spring) when the Olympics are over and visas are easier to obtain.
