Hey Sam, let me know how you like the shrimp burger once you’ve tried it. Wow, Taiwan oden are cheap! I love oden. I’ve been connecting flight in Taipei airport so many times but never get to see the city. I’d definitely want to visit one day. We have Taiwanese food here too. But probably not as authentic as you can get from there. Still good though. Thanks for visiting

We have those shrimp burgers in here Taiwan now, but I’ve yet to try them….

Geisha, ODEN is really expensive in Japan. In Taiwan, a cup like that with three items in it would cost about 45NT (12 to 15NT per item), or $1.50. The other day I had an ODEN cup with four items and ramen noodle added to the soup and it still came to under $3.00.

I was definitely impressed with the Ebi Filet-O. It was so yummy. I definitely buy them if they ever sell here. I’m sure it’ll do well here in Vancouver. So, McDonald’s, if you read this, please bring Ebi Filet-O to Canada. Oh wait, and the US. Patty wants it too!

Hello! I have been waiting for your posts on your trip to Japan and Thailand so thank you for putting them up! Your Filet o Ebi looks out of this world. I would easily eat that up in a heartbeat. It looks so juicy on the inside and crunch on the outside! DARN! Why can’t they sell delicious sandwiches like that here in the u.s! I am sure that plenty of people would order it! As a matter of fact, more people would probably eat at mcdonald’s more if that option were there!

If you like shrimp, you’d probably like the Ebi Filet-O. McDonald’s did a good job adapting shrimp burgers to Asian palate. I wish I could get them in Canada:)

How fun that they have something totally different like the The Ebi Filet-O burger outside US in McDonald’s. Would be interesting to try!

Hey Belinda,
Thanks for your kind words. I didn’t read the NYTimes article but I wish I did. It would have been much easier for me to find a good restaurant there in a short amount of time I had. But trying to find one without any clue was also fun and exciting. I think you’ll like the next post:)

I still wish I could have another Ebi Filet-O. It was so yummy. There are a few other items that I hadn’t tried at the Japanese McD.

You’re right, there are so many things to eat at 7-Eleven. I wish I tried more stuffs than just oden. But the oden was really good, especially the stewed daikon radish. Drool. lol. I’ll make sure I try other stuffs next time I visit Tokyo. Thanks for visiting Cheap Eats 2010.:)

Oooh, you’re making me so nostalgic for Tokyo again! I remember being quite impressed with some of the McDonald’s stuff in Japan… in fact, I think I may have had that Ebi Filet-O once or twice.

7-Eleven offers all sorts of great food above and beyond their oden; it’s way better than 7-Eleven here! My favorites were their takoyaki and their onigiri. Lawsons was pretty good too.
