'I ate at McDonald's in the Philippines and it's a game-changer'
A tourist from the US tried out fast food giant McDonald's while visiting the Philippines, and said one item could be a 'game-changer' if they introduced it back home
It's always exciting for McDonald's fans to visit chains of the fast food giant different places in the world. While you'd expect most branches to serve fries, cheeseburgers and Chicken McNuggets, you might be surprised at how different the menu offerings can be around the world.
One fast food fan from the UK was recently impressed after visiting McDonald's in Spain and was excited by the "extra stuff they have" there - including potato wedges. And another Maccies fan who ate at a branch in the Philippines couldn't believe the extra items they had on offer.
Self proclaimed "travelling foodie" Kriselle, from Sacramento, California in the US, shared a video from McDonald's in the Philippines on her TikTok account. According to the food reviewer, the "best part" is that they serve rice. She added: "It's all compact and perfect."
They also serve BFF fries, also known as Buddy Fries, which are extra-large fries meant for sharing with friends. They are sold in various locations around the world, including the Philippines.
Kriselle also tried McSpaghetti, which in the Philippines is a Filipino-style spaghetti sauce topped with cheddar cheese. Explaining the taste, she said: "Filippino spaghetti is very sweet and has cut up hot dogs in it, and it's not like normal spaghetti."
She tried it alongside a piece of McChicken, which she had gravy with. "Imagine if the US McDonald's served fried chicken, it'd be a game-changer" she commented. She said she also had to try their "classic" McDonald's burger - but it's not like the normal cheeseburger you might get in the UK or US.
According to the McDonald's Philippines website, it's called the McDo, and is their "all-time classic burger made even better with a beefier patty and a sweeter, tastier sauce". After trying it, Kriselle said: "Honestly, I don't have anything to compare it to because I haven't had a McDonald's burger in years, but I feel like this doesn't taste like a normal McDonald's burger from the States."
In the comments section people were shocked at how different McDonald's is around the world. "Why is McDonald's everywhere better than where I live?" asked one person. "I would not share those fries," added another. A third commented: "I'm so jealous they have gravy."
"Wait, what?!? Cut up hotdogs in the spaghetti?!?!?" asked another. Another added: "STOP. BFF fries are cute af but also I could finish the whole thing without the BFF."

The romantasy infatuation
Fairy tales, it seems, are out of fashion. After all, what do they have to teach a modern reader? Finding Prince Charming is passé; we should be getting comfortable with our own company. Evil stepmothers aren't such a problem when you can just go no contact. And going to sleep for 100 years no longer has to affect your career arc – we're all on our own timelines! Yet look a little closer and you might find that a new kind of fairy tale is alive and well. Because what are most of them if not love stories, set in magical worlds? Romantasy, a relatively new literary genre that offers exactly that, is, largely thanks to its popularity on TikTok, having a seismic effect on the books industry. As the name suggests, the genre combines fantasy realms, drawn from the depths of folklore, Gothic fiction and mythology, with a romantic plot – and readers cannot get enough. Science fiction and fantasy sales were up more than 40 per cent in 2024. Romantasy author Sarah J Maas, whose book A Court of Thorns and Roses was released in 2015, was the best-selling author in the US last year, selling 7.7 million copies, and Fourth Wing (2023), the first in romantasy star Rebecca Yarros's Empyrean series, was the seventh bestselling book in the UK across all genres. In January the third instalment of that series, Onyx Storm, became the fastest-selling adult title ever, selling 2.7 million copies in its first week, after people queued in bookshops at midnight dressed up as their favourite characters to buy it on its day of release. These authors find themselves in a curious position (as well as unthinkably rich). Harry Potter and true fairy tales are, of course, for children. But as much as romantasy has inherited the feverish fandom that often comes with an absorbing magical world – fans of Lord of the Rings and Star Wars are some of the most obsessive in the world – it is also the natural successor to Mills & Boon, Jilly Cooper and 50 Shades of Grey. 'Dragon porn' has become shorthand for romantasy; steamy sex, or 'spice', to use TikTok parlance, is part of the happy ending. In these fairy tales, the heroines can have it both ways, winning authority over the entire magical realm and a handsome stay-at-home fairy husband. Violet Sorrengail, the breathless narrator of Yarros's Empyrean series is a typical romantasy heroine. She's in her early 20s, studying at Basgiath War College to be a dragon rider, despite being smaller and less physically fit than others in her 'quadrant' (this is widely thought to be a nod to the fact that Yarros suffers from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome). She can 'wield' lightning, communicate telepathically with her two dragons and loves nothing more than riding them – except perhaps allowing her classmate, previously sworn enemy Xaden Riorson, to fuck her senseless. Xaden – who also rides dragons, and with whom she can also communicate telepathically due to a dragon-related loophole – is her spiritual and sexual soulmate. 'Xaden is mine,' Violet thinks. 'My heart, my soul, my everything. He channelled from the earth to save me, and I'll scour the world until I find a way to save him right back.' Such lines are unfortunately characteristic of the genre's prose. 'He hasn't kissed me like this since before the battle at Basgiath,' Violet notes. Yarros's dialogue comes thick and fast – at times it's more like reading a script than a novel. Where the authors diverge in fantastical creatures they coalesce in style: in Onyx Storm (dragons) but also A Court of Thorns of Roses (faeries) and The Serpent of the Wings of Night (vampires, by Carissa Broadbent), line breaks and full stops are used liberally for dramatic effect. ('Fast. They're too damned fast,' says Violet as she encounters some 'venin', AKA the baddies of Navarre.) Violet's warrior status, her appetite for danger, her courage, her unbridled sexual desire, put her in a different category from the hapless virgins of Disney and the Brothers Grimm who are, all these years later, still stuck in their dusty old volumes fannying about with spinning wheels and dwarfs. Feyre, the narrator of Maas's bestseller A Court of Thorns and Roses, is also a scrappy little fighter, one who carries daggers and arrows and scoffs early doors at her sisters 'chattering about some young man or the ribbons they'd spotted in the village when they should have been chopping wood'. When Feyre unknowingly kills a faerie, and is captured and taken away from her family to the dangerous faerie kingdom over the border and forced to live in the lap of luxury, she protests at the princess treatment: 'I hadn't worn a dress in years. I wasn't about to start, not when escape was my main priority. I wouldn't be able to move freely in a gown.' Both Maas and Yarros's heroines are strong and independent – and yet in both cases they are bound to the man they love, or will grow to love (most romantasy relationships begin as enemies), through life and death. 'You're the only one capable of killing me,' says Xaden, who has been infected by venin as a sacrifice for Violet. In A Court of Thorns and Roses, a loose retelling of Beauty and the Beast, Feyre must fall in love with the 'High Lord' Tamlin to break the curse on his kingdom. Their every interaction is loaded with danger: Tamlin is a shapeshifter and could, if he wanted to, tear her to shreds with the huge claws that are at risk of appearing every time he slightly loses emotional control. Similarly, in Broadbent's The Serpent of the Wings of Night, the heroine Oraya is a human always endangered in a world of vampires. Raihn, her vampire love interest, could kill her, and she has a duty to kill him. 'I could open his shirt, slide my hands over the expanse of his chest, and thrust my poison blade right here – right into his heart. He could tear away this ridiculous delicate spiderweb of a dress and cut me open,' Broadbent writes. 'The two of us could burn each other up.' Subscribe to The New Statesman today from only £8.99 per month Subscribe This violent, exaggerated language persists across the sexual scenes. 'He's kissing me like I'm the only air he can breathe'; 'nothing existed but him'; 'My entire world constricted to the touch of his lips on my skin'. Orgasms are 'fracturing', 'splintering', 'shattering', 'unravelling'. The intensity and danger is part of the sexual fantasy – but the heroine in each case is in some way just as dangerous to the man as he is her. Readers will be reminded here of Twilight, the late 2000s young adult series by Stephanie Meyer that caused a similar frenzy among teenage girls. In Twilight a normal high school girl, Bella Swan, falls in love with a vampire, the sublime Edward Cullen. Bella was dangerous to Edward because he was dangerous to her – he loved her so much that he couldn't risk endangering her by 'losing control' (read: having sex and unwittingly tearing her body to shreds). But what made Twilight so compelling to young women hoping for a perfect love was the unique power Bella had over Edward, and the fact that he did stay in control despite his potential to cause her harm. A similar dynamic pervades A Court of Thorns and Roses: 'The full force of that wild, unrelenting High Lord's power focused solely on me – and I felt the storm contained beneath his skin, so capable of sweeping away everything I was, even in its lessened state. But I could trust him, trust myself to weather that mighty power. I could throw all that I was at him and he wouldn't balk. 'Give me everything,' I breathed.' Elsewhere, though, we are reminded of Feyre's pluck: she is not powerless against Tamlin. Rather, she chooses to sleep with him when she wants to, and doesn't when she doesn't: 'Don't ever disobey me again,' he said, his voice a deep purr that ricocheted through me, awakening everything and lulling it into complicity. Then I reconsidered his words and straightened. He grinned at me in that wild way, and my hand connected with his face. 'Don't tell me what to do,' I breathed, my palm stinging. 'And don't bite me like some enraged beast.' Though plenty of effort is taken to give gravitas to the imagined worlds they feel thinly drawn, like costumes and sets. Names for places and people lack the consistent and distinctive syntax of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, and immersion in the world is often reduced to crude signifiers, particularly adapted curse words. Yarros, for example, is careful only ever to refer to 'gods', plural, as in 'oh my gods' and 'godsdamn', usually deployed at moments of sexual ecstasy; occasionally she opts for 'by Malek', as in, 'by Malek, I fucking love you'. Maas goes for 'Cauldron boil me!', while Broadbent opts for 'Goddess', 'Mother', and the exclamation 'Ix's tits'. If all that feels silly, it's nothing on the fact that, despite stating at the outset of Onyx Storm that the text 'has been faithfully transcribed from Navarrian into the modern language' and yet the students of Basgiath War College still understand concepts like 'boundaries', 'overthinking' and 'hitting the gym'. You half expect them to return to their chambers from a great battle and crack open a can of Diet Coke. These are, clearly, very modern fairy tales – and, as that would suggest, full of contradictions. A handsome prince, yes, but one who does not control you, one over whom you maintain a sexual power, one who wants you to be free of the damage he could inflict on you. Intense sex, yes, but sex that is incredibly high stakes. A heroine who is powerful and independent but believes in and experiences the kind of true love that is increasingly being called into question by our rational, transactional world. That's the real fantasy: to be she who has it all. Who has the things that we once wanted and the new ones. The good bits of this and of that. The perfect man, and the perfect self. The danger and the safety. The pleasure and the pain. It's not surprising we need a magical land to imagine those things could be true. [See also: English literature's last stand] Related

'I'll never return to popular Italy holiday spot - everything shuts by 10pm'
I travelled to this popular destination in early June, when the spot is at peak season perfection. Initially, it seemed like a dream come true, but my choice of destination soon felt misguided. Lake Como, with its alpine splendour and Italian allure, has long been a top pick for those looking to escape. The lake is sprinkled with quaint pastel-coloured villages, grand villas, and striking mountain scenery. Plus, it's a stone's throw from Milan; you can hop on a train from Milan Centrale to Como San Giovanni, which takes roughly 37 to 47 minutes, or drive there in about an hour and 36 minutes. I made my way there in early June, when Lake Como was at its peak season perfection. Initially, it seemed like a dream come true, but my choice of destination soon felt misguided. Arriving at the bustling ferry port in Bellagio, my first impression was stunning – it's easy to see why it's dubbed "the pearl of Lake Como". Yet, the charm of Bellagio quickly wore off, overhyped by the endless TikTok and Instagram reels that had bombarded me before my visit. Bellagio sits on the Lario Peninsula, nestled in the southern reaches of Lake Como. By day, its beauty is undeniable, and even with throngs of tourists, the cobbled lanes feel manageable, reports the Express. But come evening, the magic seems to dissipate. To my surprise, most eateries close early – around 9pm or 9:30pm - with only a handful staying open until 10pm or 11pm. After spending the day discovering the lake's delights, we were longing for a leisurely late-night meal or a drink against the picturesque backdrop. Alas, Bellagio was already tucking itself in for the night. Hailing from Milan, where nightlife spills into the bustling squares, Bellagio seemed oddly quiet. Looking back, we may have been a bit naive to expect the same late-night European buzz in a small lakeside town. Still, we were let down by the early closing times. It was especially annoying on nights when we came back from other towns like Lenno, where eateries stayed open later and the atmosphere was more laid-back, warm and inviting. Our day at Villa del Balbianello (famous for its Star Wars and James Bond scenes) ended with a more lively late afternoon in Lenno, highlighting that Bellagio simply wasn't the right base for us. For a place as tourist-focused and polished as Bellagio, the food was a letdown. We had a string of rather forgettable dinners, and one night was particularly marred by a very dry tiramisu served by a host who had strong views on local Airbnb owners. While some restaurant owners were kind - one even lent us umbrellas and plastic bags when we got caught in a dramatic rainstorm - most meals felt overpriced and underwhelming. Despite its culinary backdrop, Bellagio lacked flavour; however, there's something to be said for long queues at restaurants luring us away from some of the most popular spots. Bellagio, the busiest town on Lake Como, feels more commercialised than its quieter, more authentic neighbours. Even Varenna and Lenno, which are equally popular, retain a rustic Italian charm. However, Bellagio has its own allure. Staying with an Airbnb host who lived on-site offered a fantastic chance to practise Italian and enjoy fresh fish cooked in the garden after his fishing trip. Another highlight was the stunning landscape, with Bellagio offering almost panoramic views. It felt like discovering San Giovanni beach, a hidden gem reached by a scenic walk (with plenty of stairs). By this measure, Bellagio is not very accessible for less mobile visitors beyond the cobbled streets leading to the bustling port. Public transport is limited to ferries, buses and a few elusive taxis. The slow ferry from Como to Bellagio is a must-do. This nearly two-hour cruise passes charming villages like Tremezzo, Lenno, and Cernobbio. At just £18, it's scenic and relaxing, making the long journey absolutely worth it, even if it means returning to the drizzly UK summer. The ferry schedule to other parts of the lake is simple enough if you pop by the ferry port. A bit of friendly advice: secure your ticket first, then nip across to the restaurant opposite the port for a drink while you wait. Enjoying complimentary nibbles with an Aperol in the sunshine certainly makes queuing a more enjoyable affair, but don't let yourself get too swept up in the moment, or you might just miss the ferry.
