McDonald’s Sweet Red Bean Paste Pies
We doubt that there is any need to worry about the removal of apple pies from the menu. But it has a strong rival in the form of the sweet red bean paste pies! Red bean paste is commonly used in both sweet and savory dishes in East Asia. In fact, red bean paste snacks and pies are typically eaten during the Chinese New Year! You do not need to wait for the holiday to enjoy it since McDonald’s offers this dessert the entire year in East Asian countries. The pie is repackaged specially for the New Year.
Pizza Hut’s Hot Dog Stuffed Pizza Crust
The stuffed pizza crust is a concept born in the United States. However, it has been very successful abroad as well. Pizza Hut started to experiment with various ingredients for the pizza crusts in the early 2000s. Cheese was popular, although the chain soon introduced another important American staple: the hot dog. When the hot dog stuffed crust was introduced in Japan, it became a hit among diners in the Asian country. They loved the small hot dog rings peeking out behind the pile of toppings. We are glad that it received great reception over there, but American customers did not care much for it.
