Make McDonald’s food at home
McDonald’s has extended the closure of the 135 restaurants in Singapore and with no confirmation of their reopening date, fans are trying to curb their cravings with frozen nuggets and patties found at supermarket. Unfortunately, they are flying off the shelves at most supermarkets and you’d be considered lucky to find them.
Fret not. You can now take it to the next level by making them at home.
A McDonald’s fan has recreated some of the famous McDonald’s food and is taking the Internet by storm with his recipes on TikTok. Joshuah Nishi, aka Nish Cooks, first shared a video tutorial on how to make the McDonald’s McNuggets in April and has since went viral with 27.9 million views. He went on to create the McDonald’s French Fries and McChicken — with people saying that they look and taste just like the real thing.
