A popular food content creator known for reviewing food across the globe recently shared a video at the end of April of his experience trying McDonald's in South Africa.

The content creator @BestEverFoodReviewShow visited a McDonald's branch in Rosebank Mall, Johannesburg, to discover what makes the South African menu unique compared to other countries he's visited.

In the video, the reviewer expressed excitement about trying the local menu items, particularly the "boerie breakfast bun" which features South Africa's traditional boerewors sausage flattened into a patty. He was impressed by the creative use of hash browns inside sandwiches, something he hadn't seen in American McDonald's restaurants.

Lunch menu discoveries

Not content with just sampling breakfast, the determined reviewer returned later for lunch, ordering a range of items including veggie burgers, chicken fold-overs, and the "McFeast" burger. He particularly enjoyed the chicken fold-over, describing it as pretty decent and appreciating that the bread itself was flavoured.

The reviewer also tried "McFlavour fries" topped with jalapeños and a mystery sauce, the boerie burger, and even a cup of corn, which he was less impressed with, describing it as mushy and watery.

"Sir, you came to South Africa and went to McDonald's 😭 I know it's an experiment, but oom, we have very lekker food that's not McDonald's."

@JadeDavis questioned his choice:

"Why go to McDonald's 😭 Go to spur, go somewhere to get a bunny chow, or better yet, go to a proper SA braai."

@NazeemHartleyJumbo joked:

"A real breakfast is your leftovers from last night!😀"
