The Asia Trip: McDonald's Hong Kong - Chocolate Pie

McDonald's Chocolate Pie in a box
Mmm... Chocolate... they had Chocolate Pie at McDonald's in Hong Kong (it's not currently on the menu as far as the Hong Kong website is concerned).  And, at 1 HK as an add-on to a combo meal.  That is ridiculous cheap!  $0.13 cheap!  So yes, I got one with my combo meal.  Does this mean I'm a sucker for super-sizing?

The Chocolate Pie is roughly the same pie as the normal McDonald's pie but is in the shape of a typical turnover.  It is baked, not fried and features a layered, somewhat flaky chocolate crust filled with melted chocolate.

The thing I like about McDonald's Chocolate Pie is the novelty of it.  I've never had anything quite like it at a fast food restaurant before.  It's a bit like a flaky turnover but with a hint of chocolate to the crust that is heightened by the chocolate filling.

They're normally around a dollar but, at $0.13, it's a no-brainer to try unless you're deathly allergic to chocolate.
