Grilling Up McGriddles
Have your kids been pestering you to try the latest craze, McGriddles at McDonald’s? It would appear it sold out fairly quickly, which is to be expected knowing the way Hongkongers flocked to McDonald’s in Japan to try this treat. However, from 5 August to 8 September, you can order these sought-after sandwiches exclusively from foodpanda and enjoy its sinful deliciousness in your own home. Hopefully these will stay in stock a little longer!
