McDonald’s Taiwan celebrates new year with cosplay waitresses

December 28, 2013 by Yein Jee

McDonald’s staff in Taiwan will be serving their customers in cosplay costumes on New Year’s Eve. The fast food company has introduced the concept at one of its popular branches in Taipei to kick off the buzz…

The featured employees in this preview are obviously selected ones. It will probably be a fun event and I hope the staff enjoy the special occasion as much as the patrons. Just don’t expect eye-candies in all the outlets.

First McDonald’s in Moscow in 1990

November 26, 2012 by Yein Jee

Old video showing the long queue on the opening day (Jan 31, 1990) of the first – and back then the world’s largest – McDonald’s restaurant in former Soviet Union.

The restaurant was operated by McDonald’s Canada instead of the American HQ, probably to avoid sensitivity issue as the Cold War has just ended.

McDonald’s also opened its first outlet in mainland China in October the same year.

Free Breakfast at McDonald’s Malaysia

November 18, 2012 by Yein Jee

McDonalds Malaysia free breakfastMcDonald’s Malaysia will be giving away free Egg McMuffin to the first 1000 visitors of each of the 215 restaurant nationwide on November 19 to celebrate its Breakfast Day.

Not sure what’s the purpose besides marketing gimmick. At least they have the courtesy to offer it absolutely free (one per customer) with no string attached.

This sort of promotion is often a double-edge sword. Some folks will happily grab the freebies while bunch of others disgruntled (empty-handed, long queue etc.)

Check McDonald’s (MY) website for details. Should be interesting to see what happens tomorrow… knowing Malaysians it will be pretty rowdy at some outlets.

Japanese McDonald’s EBI Filet-O commercials

June 10, 2009 by Yein Jee

I know you guys like the Japanese commercial for McDonald’s EBI Filet-O which I posted last month. So here are a few more, not as cute as the previous one but with more focus on the food instead.

If you missed the earlier post, ebi means shrimp or prawn in Japanese. And the fast food chain featured popular model Yuri Ebihara – who’s nicknamed Ebi-chan – for the namesake pun, to great success.

Yuri Ebihara cute Japanese commercial

May 10, 2009 by Yein Jee

Cute Japanese commercial for McDonald’s Ebi Filet-O burger, featuring popular model Yuri Ebihara who’s nicknamed Ebi-chan by her fans. Ebi means prawn or shrimp in Japanese.

The fast food restaurant chain obviously picked her in this advertisement for the pun. Regardless of the intention it’s an adorable video, and the marketing campaign was a huge success.

Not sure if there’s any meaning behind the hats and all-white costume, but it creates a good theme visual wise. At the meantime, can I have one Ebi chan Ebi Filet-O please.

Sexy Japanese McDonald’s Commercial

September 28, 2007 by Yein Jee

Japanese commercial for McDonald’s Tomato Grande burger. Yum yum…

[Update] The advertisement gone viral again in 2015 because of the model’s resemblance to American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.

The model’s name is actually Agota Varga and she’s from Romania; she has featured in campaigns for well-known fashion and cosmetic brands in Europe.
