Sharing McDonald's moments ! McDonald's promotions 2014 - 2016


McDonald's is on smart move closing down few of its outlets in order to maintain a good annual balance sheet. Is McDonald's growing too fast ? 


The answer is no. If you want which fast food restaurant has surpassed McDonald's in rapid expansion will be KFC. Any small town nationwide you will see KFC and not McDonald's. Then why they are downsizing despite business is strategically located and doing just fine?


No point in arguing on that matter, let just rewind / reminiscence some of the nicest McDonald's Malaysia promotions.

I do not mean to be rude, when I was eating Cakoi, peoples sitting around me were like kept looked at me, "Am I eating too loud" ? Dipping bits of Cakoi either the chili sauce or Soya milk, it absolutely made my day.







10. Grand Platter

5 Reasons McDonalds and KFC are losing out

Robert's Google+


McDonald's and KFC outlets are not closing down



The way some people perceived the McDonald's and KFC are going to close down forever in Malaysia as soon as news broke out the corporation are selling franchise rights. In fact, we will be seeing our beloved fast food outlets closing down gradually due to local investor pulling out their investment. The fast food chain is suffering huge competition.


Instead of making a headline of laying off workers or downsizing, the corporation are selling shares in order to invite more talented shareholders and rising fund for further expansion plans.


These are the restaurants, corporation behind McDonalds and KFC should learn from them. The only thing McDonald's and KFC does the best is free gifts for kids. But, they limited only happy meal get free gift which totally discriminate older person eligible to get toy.



1. TEXAS CHICKEN

The increasing demand for fast food is great opportunity for Texas Chicken to rise. In my opinion, the Texas Chicken brand is much resounding in the western countries. Texas Chicken coleslaw is much more delicious.







2. WENDY'S

Wendy's promotes healthier burger. If you want a burger that actually naturally decompose faster, come to Wendy's. There was an oldest McDonald's outlet in Penang has been replaced by Wendy's . Who knows after all it was the same owner who opened the oldest McDonald's outlet at Pulau Pinang right ?




3. RAMLI BURGER

Burger topped with maggi seasoning and egg prepared at home. Besides, one could opt eating at any burger stall using Ramli chicken meat.





4. SALMON SUSHI 

If you are a great observer, you would notice there are always customers flocking in Japanese restaurants at weekend despite lavish menu. The rising trend of Japanese foods in Malaysia is simply cant be ignored.

You might see it as an irrelevant comparison but both Sushi and burger were not Malaysian foods right ? Besides, you could put it this way comparing Salmon Sushi and Fillet o Fish.






5 MAMAK


Topped with some side dishes such as lady finger and omelette and curry sauce. Mamak curry flavored chicken definitely attractive.

Exclusive Coca-cola Can for Euro 2016 France

Robert's Google+






I like how Coca-Cola influences our minds that, every sport must associate with a can of Coca-Cola. Not that I like Coca-cola or Euro 2016, I simply like how Coca-Cola, Euro 2016 France and the new packaging combined altogether.

Instead of collecting the Coca-cola bottle which many has done that to the extent that they will put all of the Coca-Cola cans to a big shelves for displaying. I personally rather collecting the memory and photo with Coca-Cola.

I do not go to a store and pick up Coca-cola randomly as my diet cannot afford a flavored drink. Besides, It cost more or less RM7.00 at 7-Eleven store, you might think this is some kind of purchase at Hotel or Island, no. Who are going to buy 250ml Coca-cola with RM7.00 right ? someone need to be a Coca-cola fans to do that.


It so strange that whenever Coca-cola made any promotion or new packaging, I have desire to buy it. Reminiscing how much Coca-cola I have drank in my life, it is crazy !

So any Malaysian Coca-cola fans wanted to collect it feel free to visit nearest 7-Eleven store now !

Melt Your Heart, Always Do !





1. MCD ICE CREAM

I doubt McDonalds Malaysia earn most in burger segment. As you can see, sometimes McDonalds Malaysia rolled out a small McDonalds kiosk to sell only their ice-cream cone. In term of availability, price and product who could stand out ? I bet the first thing pop up in Malaysian mind when speaking of ice-cream is Vanilla Sundae Cone.





2. BASKIN ROBBINS


This has stolen Malaysian daily salary !! Some of us would think that 3 scoops of Baskin Robbins almost equivalent to Malaysia's daily minimum wage !

Nestle Kit Kat Green Tea Ice - Cream


4. NESTLE KIT KAT GREEN TEA ICE - CREAM


It literally stuck a Kit Kat bar in the middle of ice - cream cone. It feel so uncomfortable because usually the within ice-cream should be soft !! Any flavor but green tea. Deep down in my heart, Green tea suppose to be consumed in liquid form. It is best that stay that way for centuries





Milo Ice Cream cone



5 MILO ICE CREAM

For centuries I have Milo in liquid form, this is the first time I heard someone actually came out an idea to make my usual milo ice into a complete solid form. Oh Man, everytime I think about it I think about Sensodyne toothpaste. My teeth cannot withstand the cold feeling By the way, I still think No. 3 is better !!





New Zealand Natural


6. NEW ZEALAND NATURAL

This came out of nowhere ! One of the premium ice-cream offering






7. NESTLE'S FRIED ICE CREAM

Must warned reader please do not fried it more than 10 seconds . Keep it less than 5 seconds and the chocolate within will be in a much solid form than the above picture shown.

Widely advertised ice-cream in Malaysia. Put up a really great win-win marketing campaign. Taylor Swift was about to make concert in Asia which Cornetto is making the awareness in the same time Cornetto brand could be brought up with Taylor Swift popularity !



Haagen-Dazs

Subway Chicken Slice Sandwiches


The tempting submarine sandwiches were no boundary in seducing our taste bud. The taste is always lingering at our mouth ! It get so addictive and so much cheaper !

After drinking Boost's juice, immediately recovered from a light flu !
