At each McDonald's store, a Hawaii-themed " World Mac Hawaii " campaign will be launched from February 10th. The sales menu is "officially approved by the Hawaii Tourism Board", with 2 types of burgers and 3 types of side menus. One of them is "Hawaiian Pancake Mixed Berry". With the pancake boom, it is said that the hearty pancakes that have become a staple of Hawaiian gourmet will also appear on Mac.

This is worrisome! Immediately, I went to a store that is on sale in advance to eat.

·Appearance

First of all, I want to enter from the appearance. It's not just about McDonald's that "the menu photo and the real thing are different", but to be honest, I didn't expect much. I don't think there are plenty of fruits like the menu picture.

I'm surprised if this comes out on a Mac

However, the plates that were brought in were of a fairly high level. It's unavoidable that the tray is made of paper, so two large pancakes are covered with a generous amount of sauce containing rumbling and berry fruits. Macadamia nuts sprinkled on soft serve ice cream are also a nice accent. The clerk even muttered, "Oh, cute and cute ."

It looked more fashionable than I expected, so I wanted to expect the taste. I'll eat it right away. …that? Another bite, put plenty of sauce on it and try it. ... that ?? I should have eaten pancakes, but I don't feel like eating pancakes. Why.

The taste of the sauce is well passed. It contains 3 kinds of fruits, strawberry, blueberry and raspberry, and you can feel the acidity of berry without being too sweet.

So I guess the problem is in the fabric. When I ate only the dough, the taste was surprisingly light. If the sweetness is not strong, you can't feel the salt. The butter flavor is also weak. It's possible that it doesn't contain butter (or a replacement), but it's very unsatisfactory. It's a shame because it has a good texture and mouthfeel.

The part covered with powdered sugar or sauce has a proper taste, so it is recommended to devise the distribution and eat it.

・ What is the recommended way to eat?

Now, let me introduce the way of eating that I tried in the editorial department. Please refer to it.

1. Spread the sauce anyway

First, arrange the pancakes so that they do not overlap, and spread the sauce evenly. If you eat this in two layers, the taste will be reduced.

2. Put soft serve ice cream

If the dough tastes unsatisfactory, help with the sweetness of the soft serve ice cream next to it. You can eat it as if you were putting fresh cream on it.

3. Put the sauce in the soft serve ice cream

When I suddenly tried it, it was this way of eating that I was convinced without feeling too uncomfortable. After all, it's like eating a Sunday sold on the side menu, but the macadamia nuts that Sunday doesn't have make it look like a higher-grade food. You'll ignore the existence of pancakes, but give it a try.

The above is the eating method that the En-eating editorial department actually tried. The dough has a light taste, so the trick is to combine powdered sugar, sauce, and soft serve ice cream. After eating, the staff who helped with the shooting said, "It 's a pancake that everyone helps each other." Isn't it like a class goal to "help each other"? I remembered when I was in elementary school and felt a mysterious love.

The sale period is scheduled from February 10th to the end of March. The price is 420 yen (tax included).
