Dinner at McDonalds in Mong Kok, Kowloon (chicken fun-tastic burger)

After a hectic night of shopping, at about 11pm, dinner was served at McDonalds. I ordered the Chicken Fun-tastic burger which was a savoury bun of shitake mushroom risotto, with a battered chicken breast fillet, mayonnaise, iceberg lettuce and shredded purple cabbage. This was available as a value meal with either fries, fresh pineapple pieces or a corn cup.


Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong at 8.30am

7am the next morning, we headed back to the airport for a flight to Kansai/Osaka, Japan. This photo was taken on a random street in Mong Kok.

Hi Ankit, are you referring to the airplane food, or Maccas in HK? I much preferred the latter... It would be awesome to see such fusion flavours in Oz :-)
