The new promotional meal by McDonald’s turned out to be more of a hit than a miss for me. The Fish & Fries Special, comprising a Fish & Fries, a beverage and a Chocolate Pie, left me wanting for more.

What was amazing about the meal was that the fish was well-battered and fried to the point of a light crunchiness, yet not giving it a very oily feel. Though part of it felt like I was having Long John Silver’s, the fact that it was paired with their tartar sauce and the signature French Fries had surely not disappointed me, though I really wished there were more.

The other big “wow” was their Chocolate Pie, with rich molten chocolate oozing out from the pie when eaten hot. Sure, it will never be as euphoric as compared to eating a Lava Cake, but the quick sell-out of this dessert was already very telling of the diners’ approval.
