A man who has eaten McDonald's in 53 countries reveals who does it best

James McGowan has visited McDonald's restaurants in 53 countries and has written more than 340 reviews about the food he's tried on each trip.

As we reported previously, he's tried items like tuna pies in Thailand, "Sir Sombreros" — or fried cheese shaped like sombreros — in Serbia, chicken-sausage burgers in Malaysia, acrab-croquette burger in Okinawa, Japan, and sweet-potato fries in Singapore.

Of all the McDonald's locations he's tried, McGowan says Sri Lanka does it best.

McDonald's in Sri Lanka has a tiny, but very interesting menu with just a couple sandwiches, McGowan told Business Insider.

He said his favorite item on the menu is the seeni sambol sandwich, which features a folded egg and melted cheese on a hamburger bun topped with seeni sambol — a relish made with spicy onion and cured tuna. It costs about $2.15.
