My friend in the Philippines asked me one day: "How's the McDo there?" I replied, "Er, fine?!" Should I do my research and check how it's holding up in this financial crisis time? Hehe, okay, that's not what he meant! I told him it's the same as the McDonald's he'll find all over the world.
(Disclaimer: This happened before the holy week.) I was inspired by his question that I decided to visit the nearest McDo from our flat. As if I needed much prodding.

In the Philippines, memorize ko by heart ang mantra ng mga gutom: "DIAL 8-MCDO (6236)!" In the former office, we start our day with McD's hash browns, pancakes, and big breakfasts. We were amazed by their delivery service. It rarely fails us. If it fails us, we just walk to the nearby branch. It's a pick between two branches. Alam mo naman ang McDo satin, parang 7 Eleven lang sa dami.
In Saudi Arabia, drive thru seems the easiest way to order especially when you're a lady whose parents are not fond of fastfood food and not too keen on eating in family sections.
I realized the answer I gave to my friend was not enough. While it's true that the menu of McDo Saudi Arabia is pretty much the same as the Philippines, there are offerings present and missing. The Mc Crispy Chicken and the sweet spaghetti are a no-show here. However a choice of S/M/L in fries and drinks is available. And, this one is not available in the Philippines:
If you're going to invent a McPinas, what will it be? I'm thinking of a huge pandesal with adobo filling! Hehe.
(Seems like I never left Pinas in terms of McDo's packaging!)
I was supposed to have a photo of a double cheeseburger to show the size of burgers here but my brother whose been hating me for stopping him from eating immediately to take pictures of the food had his revenge by eating his burger while I was busy shooting my McArabia! Grrr. Hay, next time na lang ulit.
