A limited-time item while I was in Hong Kong,
McDonald's McPepper Sandwich takes
a base of a plain McDonald's Hamburger patty, bun, and onions and tailors it to more Hong Kong tastes by adding a black pepper gravy of the kind used in some Chinese dishes.
The cost for the McPepper with a small fry and small drink was roughly about $3. The taste is familiar McDonald's Hamburger but different. If you've ever gotten "black pepper"-anything at a Chinese restaurant, that the different I'm talking about. If you haven't, I'd say sweetened soy sauce, garlic, and lots of black pepper thickened with cornstarch. I thought it was quite good and interesting to boot; it's too bad it was a limited-time item in a foreign country.
The drawback is it is a tad of the messy side with all the sauce. Like the wrapper describes, the McPepper is "seriously saucy."
You'll notice in the picture above that my soft drink came in a small plastic bag; apparently, if you order your food to go, your food goes in a paper bag and your soft drink goes in a soft-drink-sized plastic bag with handles (but they do encourage you to forgo getting a straw). A bit of a waste if you ask me, considering that a lot of Hong Kong supermarkets and convenience stores charge you for plastic bags in an effort to be more environmentally-friendly, which is why a lot of people carry around backpacks.
