VIENNA, Sept 17 (Reuters) - McDonald's Corp, the world's number one
hamburger chain, will launch two noodle offerings in Austria this week
in a world premiere to test consumer demand for the Asian dish, it said
on Monday.
"McNoodles" will go on sale at its
Austrian restaurants from Thursday in a test set to last two to three
months, a spokeswoman said.
The meals feature
noodles with vegetables, chicken, salad and either sweet-and-sour or
curry sauce, and will cost around 4.99 euros ($6.56).
The
company said it hoped to tap a trend toward noodle dishes and show off
its ability to innovate by launching the products, which it will
import from Thailand. click here to read more
