Pre-Blog Photos #2 - Various Countries - Various Dates

McDonald's Golden Fish Deluxe - Hong Kong January 2011

Hope everyone enjoyed whatever holiday they could take over the last couple of weeks.  As I mentioned in my last review, both my personal and work related travel is on hold for a few weeks, and although I have another couple shakers and McNugget sauces to review, I dug up more old photos of items I ate prior to starting this blog for everyone to enjoy. The first in this series is here, and I hope you enjoy these as much as you do a full review. 

The photo above is of the Golden Fish Deluxe which I tried in Hong Kong in early 2011.  The red packets on the side were a part of the Lunar New Year promotion. This burger used to pop up once a year, but I haven't noticed it in a while.  It was a fish patty topped with Honey Mustard and Pepper Jack Cheese (together with the standard lettuce and tomato) 

Should be back in a couple days with another new review.   As always, click the link below to see more.
