Have you ever crossed the busiest scramble crossing in Shibuya, Japan? I have, and it was a fantastic experience! But today, I am so excited to share with you that Malaysia also has a similar one at the heart of Kuala Lumpur - a cuter version, which is the iconic “insta-worthy” McDonald’s Fries Crosswalk at Bukit Bintang!McDonald’s Malaysia launches the McDonald’s Fries Crosswalk at Bukit Bintang, creating an iconic “insta-worthy” landmark in the city.
This March, McDonald’s Malaysia has made its mark in the heart of KL by illustrating its world-famous French Fries onto the Bukit Bintang crosswalk, creating an iconic “insta-worthy” landmark in the city. As our borders are reopening soon, this installation would ignite excitement amongst Malaysians and become a must-see destination for visitors, both local and international. Located directly in front of the first McDonald’s restaurant that opened its doors in Malaysia 40 years ago, back in 1982 - the McDonald’s Fries Crosswalk leads visitors straight into the two storey legendary McDonald’s Bukit Bintang outlet. I was honoured to be part of the launch event held at McDonald’s Bukit Bintang. All of us were so excited to take pictures and videos at the McDonald’s Fries Crosswalk. Now, we don’t have to travel far for the insta-worthy crossing posts, all thanks to McDonald’s Malaysia. From left to right, YBhg.
