The blurb is the same on the US website. It appears to be available in many countries around the world, including in South Korea, where this woman tasted the original McDonald’s Korea sauces and the BTS sauces and concluded that they are identical.

I don’t see all the fuss with Hunky Dory. I ate it for the first time yesterday and it’s really just a glorified Fish and Chip shop. You end up paying an arm and a leg for a tasteless product. You’ll be better off going to your local Fish and Chip shop if you want quality. ---

I get my grilled fish and chips or ceumbed calamari from Steve Costi’s Famous Fish. They cook them so well at East Village in Zetland. I’ve noticed they have opened a new or expanded shop at Broadway Shopping Centre and there’s also one at the new South Eveleigh precinct. ---

I tried their fish and chips years ago and they were nothing special but these days they are great. The fish is cooked perfectly and they use great seasoning. Their chips are the best I’ve tasted, crunchy on the outside and fluffy soft inside. ---

This is the Marrickville store in Sydney’s inner west. I suppose if Hollywood ever wanted to film a post nuclear war apocalypse movie, this signage would make a good backdrop. ---

I never used to understand the fuss either and sure it is overpriced… but I like that I can get a “healthier” version of Fish and Chips there and it’s still delicious. I always go for the grilled fish pack with brown rice and salad. Yum yum. ---
