During the days I traveled in Fiji, I saw the familiar golden arches and couldn’t resist walking in. I always wanted to taste how McDonald's in different countries differs from one another. Although it's a global chain, it has its unique atmosphere in this South Pacific island nation.

I ordered a Double Beef Big Mac meal. The moment it was served, a wave of familiarity hit me. The four layers of beef patties were stacked together, looking thicker than the version in Taiwan. Biting into it, the meaty flavor was rich and slightly charred, complemented by pickles and special sauce—classic as ever. The fries were also golden and crispy, paired with a cold Coke, instantly bringing back memories of eating McDonald's in Taiwan as a child. The size of the burger was more standard, without any shortcuts taken.🤣

This meal costs about ten Fiji dollars, equivalent to over two hundred New Taiwan dollars. Considering the local income level, it's actually quite an expensive treat. Unlike the everyday feeling of "grabbing fast food" in Taiwan, McDonald's here feels more like a small luxury. However, I still saw many Fijians spending their dinner time here.
