When the world saw that McDonald’s Philippines had Twister Fries-crispy, salty, twirling French fries far removed from the tasteless strips of potatoes in that part of the world-they were up and arms demanding to have it in their local menus. However, despite these, we really can’t have it all. How we wish we could try Singapore’s curry McNugget dip, KFC France’s tiramisu, or Wendy’s New Zealands 3/4-pound three-patty Dave’s Hot ‘n Juicy. Here’s Eats Now or Never’s wish list of ten international menu items we wish we had in this part of the world. Like an ultra-upgraded version of the Twizzle sold in tiny packs at local sari-sari stores, the Marshmallow Twizzle of Starbucks UK is made with the same basic ingredient–except a little more indulgent. You have marshmallows dipped in Belgian chocolate, rolled again in marshmallows, then another layer of Belgian chocolate, coated with grapeseed oil or sugar strands, and finally sprinkled with chocolate stars. Many choose to dip this into their cup of Signature Hot Choco – a delectable goodness making all the warmth and sweetness of childhood come alive again. In a country where we have so many names for rice, our love for this food staple cannot be made more obvious. Kenny Rodgers would be wise to fly their Malaysian offering here - with rice porridge as its base, this dish is sure to satisfy all lugaw-loving Filipinos out there. It’s made tasty with Kenny’s famous rotisserie-roasted chicken chunks, croutons for a little crunch, and garnished with carrots, ginger, and spring onions. Wake up to sunshine and say hello to yellow! Very similar to the best-selling Bacon Mushroom Melt already offered in the Philippines, this bun here is arguably just a few notches up. Why? Because you can have it at the beginning of the day! In between those English muffins, you’ll have your bacon strips, eggs, mushrooms, and a generous amount of melted oozing cheese. If you aren’t made awake and giddy with this one, we don’t know what else will.ĭeceiving is what this is, as something explosive in bite-sized form. Appearing just as your average nugget, what surprises you beneath that layer of fried, crispy coating might just blow you away. Stuffed with oozing melted cheese mixed in with Honduran jalapenos for an extra fiery-hot punch, make sure you have a drink ready to help chow down this chili-cheese combo. Enjoy it as a snack by itself or a side to your burger the spice in those tiny things is sure to keep you popping them into your mouth one after another.ĭaredevil foodies are in for a thrill with this most eccentric combination. Take the familiar soft sweetness of the sugar donut you know. Add in something alien to deconstruct whatever you thought a donut could or should be as toppings, put in seaweed and wasabi. If a handful of Pinoys have been brave enough to try chocolate in pasta or green mangoes and bagoong in ice cream, then these really shouldn’t be a big deal. Go, shock yourself a little with donuts like these. Take the queso from quesadilla and replace it with chocolate instead, what you get is the Godzilla of Taco Bell desserts –the Chocodilla. Served only in Guatemala, it’s your usual stuffed thin pita transformed from savory to sweet. It has melted Baby Ruth chocolate spread inside that mimics your usual Nutella crepe, except with a thicker outer later. It’s monster goodness is drawn from the elements of Baby Ruth. If brought to Manila, oh whatta thrilla the chocodilla would be. Just as K-Pop stars shake up the world music scene, so does this KFC creation promise to spice things up! All the hot flavor packed into this is enough to set your mouth on fire. Think: Korean spices mixed into your favorite batter. Your chicken parts are fried to perfection and finally given a touch of sesame. Your experience would be made more epic when paired with rice, just enough to counter the seeming painful spice.
