(English review below)这间麦当劳有相当的优势。首先，金钟多打工仔，快餐店竞争不算大，再者这间分店装修变靓左，还要成为Mirror期间限定主题店。这间旗舰店造势造得这么好，食物又如何呢？衬这次帮镜粉朋友买餐抽卡，顺便来这里探个究竟。首先迎接我们的是镜粉而不是Mirror。因为麦当劳内外都满是Mirror的照片，好多镜粉都抱住Mirror公仔、镜仔卡同其他道具满场飞地跟现场backdrop合照。比起其他麦当劳分店，这里装修很不错，台凳、地板、照明、托盘都是光亮的轻工业风，而且比很多分店更干净企理。气氛就因为Mirror推广活动而特别高涨，除了店里播放他们的歌曲，好多时连群结队的镜粉会因为抽到心仪的镜仔卡而一起尖叫，也会好开心地一起谈论Mirror，跟平时只卖食物的麦当劳相比完全是另一个层次。员工也好像被感染到，笑容多了，也会帮顾客拿手机拍照。除了我们够大食，麦当劳餐的分量本来就不大，所以我们两人前后点了四人分量的餐。首先是二人麦炸鸡餐，两件原味加两件蜜糖BBQ麦炸鸡，两份薯条同两杯热朱古力，再加两张镜仔卡。重点当然是镜仔卡，揭开两张卡发现居然是一样的，朋友当然失望啦。
这间麦当劳有相当的优势。首先，金钟多打工仔，快餐店竞争不算大，再者这间分店装修变靓左，还要成为Mirror期间限定主题店。这间旗舰店造势造得这么好，食物又如何呢？衬这次帮镜粉朋友买餐抽卡，顺便来这里探个究竟。
首先迎接我们的是镜粉而不是Mirror。因为麦当劳内外都满是Mirror的照片，好多镜粉都抱住Mirror公仔、镜仔卡同其他道具满场飞地跟现场backdrop合照。比起其他麦当劳分店，这里装修很不错，台凳、地板、照明、托盘都是光亮的轻工业风，而且比很多分店更干净企理。气氛就因为Mirror推广活动而特别高涨，除了店里播放他们的歌曲，好多时连群结队的镜粉会因为抽到心仪的镜仔卡而一起尖叫，也会好开心地一起谈论Mirror，跟平时只卖食物的麦当劳相比完全是另一个层次。员工也好像被感染到，笑容多了，也会帮顾客拿手机拍照。
除了我们够大食，麦当劳餐的分量本来就不大，所以我们两人前后点了四人分量的餐。
首先是二人麦炸鸡餐，两件原味加两件蜜糖BBQ麦炸鸡，两份薯条同两杯热朱古力，再加两张镜仔卡。重点当然是镜仔卡，揭开两张卡发现居然是一样的，朋友当然失望啦。至于食物，蜜糖BBQ麦炸鸡好瘦弱而且不脆，不过够热，原味麦炸鸡就不热又不脆，好在麦炸鸡的鸡肉是滑的，而且鸡皮味道跟足原本配方。薯条就好淋，而且味道比较淡，本身已经没什么薯仔香还要擅自少盐，比平时更须加上茄酱调味。热朱古力就很标准，所以是二人餐里得分最高的项目……哎，麦当劳要检讨一下，为什么有Mirror带动人流，间接增加食物流量，但仍然不能保持食物新鲜。
为尽量让另外两份餐更新鲜，我们吃完第一轮才点第二轮。这次有猪柳蛋汉堡、麦乐鸡、两份薯条、两块爆蒜麦炸鸡、两杯可乐同两张镜仔卡。即时开卡，竟是一对一样的卡（不过跟之前那对不同，所以总共有两对）（15分数学题：假设所有镜仔卡都真的随机发放，请在留言位置作答以下问题-连续两次抽两张卡都抽中一对同款的机会率，并列出计算方法。我要follow10分或以上的同学仔。）。这次胜出的是猪柳蛋汉堡同麦乐鸡。它们卖点不是脆，只要保持一贯味道，再做好保温就已经有一贯的味道和口感。这次的薯条终于有点脆了，但味道跟之前那两份一样淡，应该是同一批薯条材料，但这次是新一轮炸出来。爆蒜麦炸鸡够热，但不脆，味道还不错，不过原味更香而且有点辣所以比较耐吃。最后可乐凉快的泡泡舒展胃部，好舒服。
整体来说，环境加上限时活动带动的气氛，硬件做得好，让这间分店突围而出，至少说服到顾客这里跟其他分店有不同，叫麦当劳Next。不过，麦当劳连锁性的陋习还是没有改变，就是薯条同麦炸鸡的新鲜度。这次感受到要吃脆的薯条的确要等运到；不过之前陈奕迅录音广告说麦炸鸡是落单后鲜炸所以特别脆，似乎现在已经无左件事，初出茅庐就当红的麦炸鸡现在完全只是过眼云烟，算了吧，我不会再有期望。至于镜仔卡，就当我们只是幸运所以抽到两对相同的吧，这个我反倒不太在意，只是我朋友在意。这次来的感觉是，如果只有硬件与其他麦当劳分店不同，而不求提供好更好的食物的话，那做完Mirror月之后，顾客就不用特地来这里了。
This McDonald's branch had much advantage as there was a huge working population in Admiralty, and there were not many competing fast-food restaurants in the vicinity. Moreover, this store had been renovated well, plus it has become a time-limited flagship theme store of Mirror. I was curious to try out their food while helping my Mirror friend to come and draw some cards coming with sets.
What greeted us was not Mirror but their fans. Because photos of Mirror overwhelmed this place inside out, many fans were enthusiastically taking pictures of this amazing place together with their Mirror figures, cards and other props. Compared with other McDonald's branches, the decoration here was excellent. The tables and benches, floor, lighting, and trays were bright, light industrial style, and this place was cleaner than other branches. The atmosphere was particularly high because of the Mirror event. In addition to constantly having songs of Mirror in the store, there were many occasions when groups of Mirror fans screamed because of the cards they drew, and they happily talked about Mirror. It elevated McDonald's to a completely different level compared to the usual days when only food would be served. The employees also appeared to be ignited and were happier than usual. They had better smiles and helped customers taking pictures with their mobile phones.
The portion of McDonald's meal was small compared to our appetite, so the two of us ordered four portions of set meals.
The first round was crispy thighs set for two, there were two original and two honey BBQ crispy thighs, two French fries and two cups of hot chocolate, plus two Mirror cards. The main point was of course the cards, but they turned out to be two identical cards, so my friend was definitely disappointed. The honey BBQ crispy thighs were thin and not crispy though they were quite hot. The original crispy thighs were not hot nor crispy, but, well, at least they were tender and the taste followed the recipe. The French fries were soggy, and the taste was too light. It already did not have much fragrance from potatoes, and the portion of salt must have been reduced, which made tomato sauce an unusual must. Hot chocolate came at its standard, so it was the highest-rated item in our set... Sigh, McDonald’s should review why, despite the Mirror event already drove them more customers, it still could not keep their food fresh given the boosted food turnover.
We ordered the second round after the first trying to maximize freshness. The second round included McMuffin Sausage & Egg, McNuggets, two French fries, two pieces of garlic crispy thighs, two cups of coke and two pieces of Mirror cards. we immediately unboxed the Mirror cards but it turned out to be another matching pair of cards (15 points Math question: leave your answers at comments section- assuming that all Mirror cards were really randomly drawn, calculate the chance, listing out the steps, that two pairs of identical cards are drawn consecutively. I need to follow students scoring 10 points or more!). The winner this time was the McMuffin Sausage & Egg and McNuggets. Their selling point was not crispiness. As long as they maintain the consistent taste and are kept warm, they would already have nice and consistent taste and texture. This time the fries were finally a bit crispy, but the taste was still as weak as that of the first round. They should be the same batch of fries, but this time it was finally fried in a new round. The garlic crispy thighs were hot enough, but not crispy, and the taste was good given the hint of garlic, but the original flavor smelled more savoury and was a bit spicy making it more palatable. Finally, the cool bubbles of cola happily relaxed our stomachs.
Overall, the environment was good, and the time limited event further ignited the atmosphere, at least convincing customers that it was different from other branches thus can be called McDonald's Next. However, they still had the general bad habits of McDonald's of not keeping French fries and the crispy thighs fresh enough. This time I experienced ordering two batches of French fries having crispiness depending on luck; also, previously the promotional recording of Eason Chan mentioned that crispy thighs were fried only when the order was placed to keep them crispy, but it seemed that this was no longer the practice. I won't have expectations on crispy thighs anymore, unlike when it was first popularly launched. As for the Mirror cards, I guess there is a chance that we were just lucky so we got matching pair of cards twice. I can do nothing but to cheer my friend up. Seriously, if the decorations of this branch is the only thing distinguishing it from others, and that it has no determination to provide better food, then after the Mirror promotional event, customers do not have a reason to specifically come to this McDonald's Next.
