The Lost Rice: McDonald's McRice Burger

The Taipei Times (by way of McChronicles) reports that McDonald's Taiwan has sold 5 million units of its home-grown rice burger after only six months on the market. Not bad.

More important, McDs is looking to expand its new burger globally. Could it play in the US? Apparently, the burger consists of a choice of either chicken or beef sandwiched between rice buns. So much for the vegetarian market.

But let’s take a look at the calorie content:

rice burger: 378 calories

Big Mac: 529 calories

It certainly can’t hurt to give it a shot. After all, the Happy Meal was concocted by a Kansas City ad agency as a one-time promotion and look where that ended up.

McDonald’s Taiwan has developed several products in the past, including Japanese style pork burger, kimchi burger, grain burger and others, but none of the products have had the success of the rice burgers.

McDonald's, the global fast-food brand, is increasingly adapting its burger menu to different tastes as part of a systematic localisation strategy to enhance its popularity.

In Taiwan, that has meant the rice burger: crispy chicken or sliced beef with a mixture of cabbage or lettuce, served between two lightly toasted rice patties. It will also be rolled out to Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines and Malaysia this year.

Localizing menus is key to McDonald's strategy for expanding into emerging markets such as China, though there has also been change in some mature markets. Soup is being trialled in Portugal, and pasta is set to join the menu in Australia.

But unfortunately in the Philippines,even Filipinos loves rice, McRice burger didn’t hit the desire of the consumers, maybe because Filipino wants to be served w/ traditional burger meal or traditional rice meal. After some months of bombarding the television, radio and print spaces w/ the new McRice ads, they suddenly remove it on air so as in the counter of every McDonalds fast foods unnoticed by people. Even in McDonald's Philippines website McRice Burger is not be seen anymore.

A great date with a taste of a good pizza!

My boyfriend and I love food so much. We try different foods of different cuisine. We have a different likes upon the taste and kinds of foods that we eat. But we always agree on what restaurant to try and to patronize.

As there are newly opened restaurants in our place, though some are those are very common, we tried dinning in at Joey Pepperoni. That was really the first time we eat there and we liked the new ambiance of an Italian Cuisine. A modern yet simple with its white walls and clear glass and wall paint of a city (though we haven’t asked the crew what it was). We both agree that its interior design is simply beautiful and relaxing.

Well food was really the reason why we went there so we tried the most common food that we might see in their menu. Common in our taste buds and eyes means we know very well what those foods must taste to be good enough. So we tried the Lasagna alla Bolognese for 178php, Panino al Tonno for140php, The Works for pizza which has smoked ham, pepperoni, bacon, salami, mushrooms, ground beef, onions, bell pepper, and olives for toppings for 170php.

The meal we had was really enjoying and heavy. We thought we cannot finished a single dish ‘cause we were tasting almost everything! The pizza was fantastic. I thought i wouldn’t enjoy it because its too thin for us heavy eaters. Yet a slice filled me. Its crust is crispy and I liked it. I guess that’s really how a pizza should be!

I also tried Affogato for dessert because i love iced cream and chocolates.

My boyfriend decided to eat there again after a week ‘cause he miss the pizza and is to try another variant of pizza. Well we happened to eat there trice in just one month!

You may also like the food they serve. They also offer promos that would suite those not so well budgeted dates. They have single served pasta for only 99php and a buy one get one pizza promos. Try and dine with their newly opened franchise in Ground Flr GRACELAND MALL, McArthur Highway, Malolos, Bulacan and taste what a real pizza should be!
