Bec steered clear of the ‘under 400 calorie’ menu and instead tried the hotcakes and the breakfast roll. 

‘The hotcakes tasted like the pancakes you buy in a packet at the supermarket,’ she revealed. ‘They were quite hard to chew.’

‘I tried the breakfast roll next, but the bacon is so different here!’

She added, ‘It also had this great brown sauce I feel like we need to get on our menus in Australia.’

Another Australian TikToker and former Love Island star Jessie Wynter also posted a viral TikTok of her Macca’s trip in London which later sparked a heated debate over which is better.

‘I’ve decided to step out of my comfort zone while I’m here and try something that isn’t on the Aussie menu,’ she said in her video.

Jessie ordered a classic combination of fries, the Chicken Legend burger, and cheesy garlic bites.
