Discover the secret McDonald's hack used by a top Aussie chef!

Have you ever tweaked your usual Macca's order and loved the change? If that rings true, this 'hack' could be your next favourite!
Kimberly Tang, a 27-year-old award-winning chef from the renowned Sydney restaurant Chef's Table, brings a fresh spin to a classic Macca's order, offering a delightful upgrade that customers might be looking for.
Tang won the Golden Chef of the Year 2021 award, a prestigious culinary competition that celebrates the best chefs from all over the world.
With her background, Tang's Macca's 'hack' will undoubtedly impress you, making you say, 'Yes, chef!'
Tang shared with the Sydney Morning Herald in their Good Food Guide that her Macca’s hack is the 'most uncheffy thing [to] eat out’.
‘Making a semi-regular appearance in my diet is the Macca's double cheeseburger but with a kicker: replacing the sauce with Big Mac sauce and requesting the steamed bun (credit to brother Tang, who is also a chef).’
While many Macca’s burgers come with a toasted sesame bun, the Filet-O-Fish sandwich features a lighter, fluffier steamed bun. Tang notes that customers can request this bun for any burger, anytime.
However, if you don't prefer the steamed bun paired with the iconic Big Mac sauce—even with chef certification—Yahoo Australia has highlighted a few other Macca's hacks to pique your interest.
One of McDonald’s employees also had a clever idea at Macca's – they squished a burger bun into a ball and fried it.
Then, they took a McCafé cup, put cinnamon and sugar in it, shook the fried bun inside a burger container until it was covered in the sugary mix, and finished it off by pouring hot chocolate fudge sauce on top.
Another tip from customers is to order 'well-done' McNuggets for a crispier bite and dip them in a blend of Sweet and Sour and McChicken sauces.

Currently holding the position of Chef de Partie at Society, Tang has built an impressive career, including stints at renowned establishments such as Dinner by Heston Blumenthal Melbourne, Nobu, No.8 by John Lawson, and Crown Melbourne.
For Tang, the best piece of advice she’s ever been given is ‘Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. Never give up because anything is possible, and it’s what you make of every opportunity that counts.’
Tang went on, ‘The experience of Golden Chef’s taught me a lot, it helped improve my skills, organisation and knowledge in a short and intense timeframe.’
