McHotDog Classic Breakfast - Yokohama Japan - July 2011

I've been very busy over the past week, so I haven't been able to write a new review. I have 2 full days of travel ahead of me tomorrow, so I might not be able to get a review posted any time soon, and since it's been now over a week since my last post I thought, some of you might be interested in some old photos I took prior to starting writing this blog. If anyone enjoys these, I can continue to dig some out from my old archives and continue to post them here, just let me know on Twitter, or even on Instagram.

The photo above was a McHotDog breakfast item that I was first able to try in July 2011 from a McDonald's in Yokohama Japan.  McHotDogs used to be a regular menu item and have since been discontinued.  I also reviewed a limited edition version McHotDog Chilli a couple months later, which happened to be one of the first reviews on this blog.

Pumpkin Triangle Pie - Seoul, Korea - October 2011

Just in time for autumn, McDonald's Korea is promoting the limited-edition Pumpkin Pie, using a big banner on all its Korean store fronts.  McDonald's Korea often uses Triangle Pies for the promotional pies, but this is the first time they have had a Pumpkin filled one. It was small, and rather bland.  The Pumpkin filling was nothing like the promotional photos.  For the size, at 1200W, it was rather pricey.
