I went to eat because there is red rice in Costa Rica morning Mac

McDonald 's to be deployed all over the world has a local menu in the country, but what it is in Central America Costa Rica is ... red rice. I went to eat Costa Rica red rice called "Gazeopinto" with Mac.

Hello.World newspaperIt is Matsuzaki Atsushi of. I am in the whole world around the world, I am currently in Bocas, the Caribbean island of Panama.

Well, this time McDonald 's story of Costa Rica. Because I heard the story "There is red rice in Mac in Costa Rica and moreover in the morning Mack only", I went to the Mac in the capital San Jose in a hurry.

Center of San Jose


Central Park is always crowded with people


Developed townscape that distinguishes other Central American countries


casino


Many historic buildings also remain


In San Jose there are quite a few Macs (we could see six) Mac, but I will enter here near Central Park


It is in a corner where there is quite a lot of traffic


Oh, I'm in line in the morning ~


There is a Mac cafe on the first floor


Well, red rice, red rice ......


Oh, there was. That 's McPinto. The 2550 colon (the currency of Costa Rica) is about 390 yen.


About 10 years ago in Costa Rica the lifestyle began to change to Western style, and at that time, it seems that Mac started to be made. As I heard the story that in the same Central and US Guatemala "People who came from the country came to the city to eat Macs as a memorial" as they heard the story that Mac was "flower of Takamine" in Central America, The circumstances seem to be different in Costa Rica where income level is high. It seems that he is going to go to the Mac freely with a focus on young people. By the way, "local people love junk food", so Kentucky, Subway, Pizza Hut, Burger King etc are collectively developing stores.

The inside of the store feels ashamed



There is a terrace seat, too.


Now, this is Mac Pinto. It is a deck's box


tortilla. Not limited to Mexico, turtles will follow anything in Central America.


When I opened the coffee ......


How, milk is IN! (Hus not saying anything)


Mac Pinto, you can open it


Well. Something is blacker than the picture.


There are red beans indeed


Genuine red bean


Munching Yeah, it has a sweet taste, but it is red rice. Garlic smells faintly. Unfortunately it is not glutinous rice.


Gaze pinto ate in the cafeteria of the city. The taste of Mac was thin.


Ghazopinto is a Costa Rican national cuisine (also eaten in Nicaragua, Panama etc). As local chefs say, it is not like cooking rice with azuki beans as in Japan, but it often seems to mix boiled red beans and rice. At that time, it seems to have seasoned with Worcestershire sauce, garlic, herbs etc. By the way Gaze Pinto is the basic morning to eat, so it is sold in the morning on Mac. Mac marketing, it is fluffy.

Scrambled eggs


Patty is similar to that of Japanese muffins


grilled bananas. This is surprisingly cool. I saw it in Central America


cross section


Since there is a tortilla with a great deal of trouble, everything tasted horribly when I tried everything on it ... ...


By the way, also to the subway ......


There was Gazi Pinto


It was somewhat different from Japanese red rice, but it was somewhat strange to eat red rice in Costa Rica far away with Mac.
