McDonald's Sweet Taro Pie

The McChronicles encountered McDonald's sweet taro pie for the first time in China recently.

Sweet taro is a form of yam, or sweet potato. It is very popular throughout the Pacific islands - and almost unheard of other places.

The pie tastes like ... a yam or a sweet potato!

I am in Guam and saw this thing for the first time so I searched about it over the internet. I found an article on the Honolulu Adviser by Lee Cataluna that said "The taro pies are part of the regular menu on McDonald's restaurants in Asia."
I live in Japan but I've never heard of the taro pie. I've never seen it in Mcdonalds in Japan. So I think the writer is mistaken. Japan is part of Asia correct? I don't think the taro pie is in all of Mcdonald's Asia restaurants.
Anyway I shall go try it one of these days.

They were selling these as 'Sweet Potato Pie' at the Mickey Dees in Japan back in 97-98

Wish they'd bring 'em to the States... they were awesome!

The Yam and the Sweet Potato has two completely different taste and is two completely different types of vegetable. I dont know why people always mistaken that. Anyways, I don understand why this pie cannot be sold in Malaysia? Is it too 'haram' for them or what? (like they once claim the Tabasco sauce to be) I'm a little annoyed with Malaysia because mostly every brand here is always limited in varieties, limited in quantities and limited in size. Like seriously. . . If Singapore, Indonesia, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, India and other countries can import in many many types of products with lots of varieties, I dont see why Malaysia couldn't. Too lazy for their own good I guess. (No offense)
