44 McDonald’s Dishes in Other Countries That Look Pretty Different from the Original Version

Being in Southeast Asia, Thailand enjoys a consistent diet of rice because of its prevalence in that region. McDonald’s (maybe after abandoning the rice burger) created a menu item in Thailand that is just rice and fried fish. No burger. The rice that they use is known locally as Pad Kaprao or Pad Krapaw.

This particular dish is spicy (as are many dishes in Thailand), so consumers beware. We enjoy spice, so it’s totally fine with us. The rice comes with stir-fried fish and basil to give it that authentic Thai flavor. Fish does go well with rice so McDonald’s got this one right.
