Description
Tasting McDonald's New Chocolate Pies-George Town, Malaysia I love chocolate so when I heard about McDonald's Malaysia releasing their much anticipated chocolate pie I was the first to order them at their historic Birch House location in George Town-Penang, Malaysia. Apparently when Singapore introduced the chocolate pie in March 2018 it immediately sold out and was actually taken off the menu shortly after. It was expected to be a limited edition item but being such an Instragammable subject and with a huge demand it was brought back to the menu and was also introduced in Malaysia June 6, 2019! I was lucky enough to be one of the first to try it at their wonderful Birch House location on the morning of June 6th. It's actually quite an interesting dessert, not too sweet, which suits well with the Southeast Asian palate. The crunchy deep-fried shell is just a little odd, having tasted many molten style chocolate cakes with a spongy texture, but overall a nice treat and certainly a cut above the average McDonald's offering.The Birch House was originally the office of Eastern Smelting, which had it's plant right next door where the Times Square Mall is now located. Built in 1908 apparently the back door was close to the plant and it's rumored this was the spot where difficult employees were reprimanded. There are some nice street views on the outdoor upper level. It's not always open so when it is, definitely go up and have a look. Thanks so much for watching and again apologies for the flicker in the video during my tasting segment.
