We first explored KFC menu items that can only be found in Asia, but what about the rest of the well-known American fast-food chains? There are so many yummy menu items only found in Asia that you’ll have to explore (and get hungry) for yourself, but below are some of the more interesting ones we found:
Nacho Fries– Wendy’s, Japan
This is definitely not a classic Wendy’s menu item, but who doesn’t love nachos? Wendy’s Japan created the Nacho Fries which consists of classic fries, guacamole, chili, cheese and– for a kick– jalapeños
McRice Burger — McDonald’s, Philippines
In the U.S., we rave over the ramen burger. In the Philippines, they sandwich a chicken or beef patty between two crispy rice patties! Could this inspire us to create the next burger trend in the U.S.?
Dry Pork and Seaweed Donut — Dunkin Donuts, China
If you thought adding bacon to a maple donut was a bit odd, then you might be hesitant to try this sugar glazed donut topped with dry pork and crunchy seaweed. It sounds like it would be too much of a salty overload rather than a sweet treat.
Ebi Shrimp Filet-O — McDonald’s, Japan
If you love shrimp, this is all you. It’s a simple fried shrimp patty paired with thousand island dressing and lettuce between their signature sesame seed bun.
Veg Sammi — Subway, India
If you’re vegetarian and think American fast food doesn’t have enough veggie items, you’re probably right. Subways in India carry a wide array of meat-less options and include ingredients you won’t find in American Subways. For instance, this Veg Sammi consists of a vegetarian kabob made of lentils, garlic and onions.
Green Tea Blizzard — Dairy Queen, Thailand
Now, I’m legitimately jealous of this. With the green tea and matcha trend running rampant, why hasn’t this made its way to the U.S. yet? I know I know, there are other similar items I can get, but who doesn’t want to have a green tea blizzard served upside down?
