Fast-food lover eating at McDonald's across the globe shares strangest menu items he's uncovered

A man on a mission to try McDonald’s from around the world has shared some of the wild and wacky things he’s come across during his quest.

Daniel Wong, 34, has been filming his journey of eating at the fast-food chain for almost four years – and has tasted some truly unique menu items.

The Vancouver-native has documented his endeavor on his YouTube and TikTok accounts, detailing the strangest foods he’s eaten from the 20 locations he’s visited so far.

He told the Daily Mail: ‘I used to check the menu and just see if anything is cool, [but] my mission has expanded now and the world must know.’

Wong said he has always loved traveling and sees dining at McDonald’s a way to ‘understand local culture and taste’ of the places he visits.

‘Also, I think the brand is large, so its something people around the world can connect with,’ he added.

‘Its hard to compare sushi to pizza, but comparing McDonald’s has a golden arch standard.’

Wong has come across a variety of menu items in his world tour, from macaroni soup in Hong Kong to curry in the United Arab Emirates.

‘Hong Kong has macaroni soup in a chicken broth with your breakfast sausage and eggs,’ he revealed.

‘[In the United Arab Emirates] they cut up a crispy chicken patty and put it on rice and drizzled a curry sauce. Very strange… for Mcdonald’s,’ Wong continued.

Wong said there have been some dishes he wishes he could bring back to his local chain – revealing the seafood served in some countries is high quality in comparison to their North American counterparts.

‘In some Asian countries like Singapore, Korea, and Japan they have the Ebi Filet-O [with] real shrimp inside, its light and not too oily,’ he explained. ‘I always pick that up when I am in the area.’

‘For dessert, the limited menu item in Japan [called] Sankaku Choco Pie is the best,’ he raved. ‘Its almost impossible to [get] in Japan [because] it shows up intermittently… so if you see it, pick one up for me too.’

The worst menu item was closer to home – a McLobster Wong had in Ontario, Canada.

‘I like lobster, so it was a shock when it tasted a bit more fishy than I had expected,’ he admitted.

For anyone wanting to venture overseas for different taste, Wang recommends visiting Hong Kong or Japan.

‘I will be going to South East Asia again next year, and that area has the most unique menus,’ he added.

Most recently, Wang visited McDonald’s in Poland, where he was pleasantly surprised at the meni.

‘I got the cottage cheese cucumber breakfast McMuffin,’ he shared, describing it as tasting like ‘cream cheese for bodybuilders.’

However, it was the coffee that Wang particularly enjoyed.

‘They mixed their vanilla shake with coffee and it’s the best drink I’ve had in McDonald’s,’ he declared.
