• I love mcwings in HK,China and Singapore. Worst tasting chicken can be found in mcdonald's Philippines. (from volts, March 2012)
• I would like to know the brand of sesame dressing that the McDonald's in Iwakuni, Japan uses. I have been trying to find some here in the United States at the Asian market stores, but I do not know the brand. It is the white oyster based seasame dressing. (Rebecca Mcclenney, Apr 2011)
  • I, too, would like to know the brand of sesame dressing that the McDonald's in Misawa, Japan uses. I can't find it in the Asian markets in U.S. either, and don't know really what to look for.  It is the white oyster based seasame dressing. It is soooooo good. (from Susan, Jan 2013)
