The McDonald’s in US is so bad, the vegan clone of McDonald’s (Mr Charlie’s) tastes more like the McDonald’s I know (and I’m not vegan).
McDonald’s in Malaysia and Thailand and Indonesia are superb (they have to compete with amazing street food, and they do. They also provide free WiFi and a safe third space for young people).
Most people from SE Asia will fight you if you diss McDonald’s. The classism of fast food bias is wholly a N American (and maybe Anglo world) thing. (A family member used to work at a McDonald’s in France, and contrary to the popular view, it is exceedingly popular).
Maybe also consider that putting food into ‘good’ and ‘bad’ is a puritan concept
@skinnylatte yes! years ago, some German guys I was hanging out with in Switzerland insisted we go eat at McD. I tried to protest politely, but didn’t want to offend.
I was floored at how amazingly good the food was. Nothing like McD in the US!
