MCDONALD'S LAUNCHES NEW 'YOUTIAO' BREAKFAST ITEM

If you love youtiao or churros, McDonald's has exactly the thing for you with a product that is an amalgamation of both, but with a much less exciting name — Donut Sticks.

The new breakfast menu item looks exactly like our fried dough fritters (albeit a shorter version), and is rolled in cinnamon sugar. 

McDonald's kindly sent over a package and some of us who tried it gave it a thumbs up, but it's easy to see why.

Said one colleague: "It tastes like churros but with the lightness and airiness of a youtiao".

The Donut Sticks will be available at $2.20 a la carte (for six pieces), or $3 with a regular roast coffee starting this Thursday (Feb 27).

They first made its debut in the US last year, where Chinese netizens immediately noticed its similarities to the Asian snack.

If you're curious, you can watch a taste-test of the Donut Sticks here:
