With great zeal and enthusiasm I marched to my local McD's here in Malaysia eager to try the newest taste sensation - the G-wrap. The G-wrap gets its 'g' from its evil step-brother the GCB. If you are outside Malaysia or just not up on your fast food (for shame) the GCB is a Grilled Chicken Burger. Basically they take the fattiest part of the chicken(the thigh) slather it in oil, griddle it in more oil, then leave the soggy chicken skin on (for added oil). The uhhh succulent 'grilled' to perfection chicken is thrown on a sesame seed bun with some garlicy secret GCB sauce and a salad mix (lettuce, carrots, leaves). If that wasn't 'gud' enough they jumped on the wrap bandwagon (they get things late here) with the G-wrap.
So what is a G-Wrap? Its the GCB in a wrap instead of a bun and it costs a little more. Why does it cost more? Why, because fat idiots like me want to write review blogs! If you like the GCB you will like the G-wrap. Soo please stop reading now so I don't offend you.

There are three 'g' foods really the pictures are exquisite.
I framed this so well it is simply majestic... I am not sure if it turned out in the picture but there are grease finger prints on the box- HEALTHY!
So I saw this and I yelled "release the flavour" in my best 'release the Krakken' voice.
A few disappointing elements to this that may be hard to tell. The lettuce is brown at the edges (not red or purple) and is not fresh. The tortilla is soaking up the oil from that 'grilled' meat. There are also tomatoes inside.... nothing irks me more than under ripe green tomatoes
By far the biggest disappointment was the onion rings. They were (thankfully) very few and were utterly tasteless. How do you ruin onion rings?
Let me run the good the bad and the ugly for you all.
The good
- sauce packs a nice garlicy punch but becomes oily.
- this is a limited time only
The bad
- the sandwich is presented as if it is a healthy option but it would probably be healthier if it was deep fried (like the one they had in North America)
- ingredients not fresh/stored properly but that is par for the course here
- really really oily I couldn't take a picture of the oily mess as my hands were COVERED in it.
- Onion rings needed salt, real onions (not the minced up stuff in these) and some flavour
The ugly
- the name. McWrap would be better and it can be made into 'McCrap' so double your pleasure!
Did you like the G-wrap?
Would you try one?
Im not loving it
McCrap is reserved for the "foods" sold by McDonald's here..please go find another name there! !!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing it is not called the McWrap as that is very close to crap... McDonald's here generally is good... I just don't get this product...
