McFlurry In Indonesia

McDonald's are everywhere. Really. However, the McFlurry is not always available. Only until this summer did the McDonald's in China show the first signs of the McFlurry with Oreo and M&Ms. I was pleased to find a unique flavor in Indonesia, outside of the standard Oreo and M&Ms (which indeed was offered on another less prominent menu). The two flavors that these McDonald's showcased are Caramel Crunch and Coffee Crunch and cost more than the standard McFlurry flavors at 7000 Rupiah. The size of the McFlurry is significantly smaller in Indonesia compared to its American counterparts and the servings are sadly more conservative. The "crunch" part of the McFlurry is broken up pieces of waffle cone and tiny bits of chocolate chip. There was also a nice swirl of caramel for the Caramel Crunch McFlurry. Some servers remembered to actually do the "Flurry" part of the McFlurry putting it in the mixing machine, some mixed only part way, and some mixed it well, all of which showed an inconsistency in the training of the art of the McFlurry. The Caramel Crunch McFlurry was very sweet, appealing to sweet-toothed Indonesians, and had a lot of flavors and textures with the waffle cone, hard chocolate bits, and gooey caramel. The waffle cone was not stale at all and did not turn soft after being in the ice cream during the consumption process. The chocolate chips were very small and tasted as though there was a higher cacao percentage from its slightly bitter quality. Using milk chocolate would have made the McFlurry too sweet instead of rich. If only the caramel was a little bit thicker to create a better ribbon effect in the white soft serve because it just mixed with the soft serve resulting in a melted caramel ice cream soup. But where the soft serve did hold together, it was quite lovely, especially when taking a break from the hot midday sun.
