Big Mac Chicken @ McDonald's (Egypt)
In Egypt.
£E10.45/US$1.83.
It comes with the same Big Mac sauce, just with breaded and fried chicken patties (as in their Chicken Sandwiches) instead of beef.

It's hilariously large, but flat like a pancake. I tried a Quarter Pounder and it was the same way: large and flat. Do Egyptians judge value based on surface area???

It's nice to have passable and authentic Taiwanese fare in downtown SF.

Tasty, though a touch too oily. This would have benefited greatly by some paper toweling and draining before serving. The oil also tasted a tad old.
But other then that, this non-battered, pre-marinated, and pepper based seasoning is my prefered kind of fried pork chop. Even if the execution isn't perfect, I am happy to find it prepared in this fashion.
There is enough pork chops on this plate to feed two of me, and come with rice, pickled veggies, pickled mustard and mince pork sauce.
Thumbs up.
NT$85/US$2.58.
I've been looking for a good Taiwanese-style pork chop over rice ever since I moved back here last summer. I've tried countless shops and while most of them were decent, none of them rocked my world
That is, until now.
This is the original shop of NYC's Mei Wah (on Hester Street in Chinatown). Mei Wah is the only place in Manhattan that I could get a little taste of home when I lived in New York. I've been going there since the late 80s and even though it's gotten a little worse every year, I still went at least once a month. That was how desperate I was for Taiwanese food
TIP: Use the zoom in feature by clicking on the "menu" button on the picture, and marvel at the delicious marbling.
Get some high quality steaks. Grind on some salt and pepper, coat it with a dab of oil. Sear both sides on high heat and finish in a 500° oven until medium rare. And you'll be in beef heaven, all for less than 10 minutes of cooking effort.
