Bodega Fresh Fruits & Snacks to begin McDonalds Deliveries in Cambodia

Bodega Fresh Fruits & Snacks to begin McDonalds deliveries in Cambodia, according to a statement on their Instagram page , in what is surely the biggest news to hit the Kingdom this year. Yes the delta variant is here, yes we are under lockdown, but if this statement is true then you will soon be able to get through curfew with a real Big Mac.

Why is this such a big deal? Because Cambodia is one of the few countries on earth that does not have a McDonalds.

Who are Bodega Fresh Fruit and Snacks?

Like many companies in Cambodia they do not have a webpage, but they do have an Instagram and a Facebook page, which states;

“Wholesaler and retailer of premium fruits & snacks from Japan, Australia, USA and more. Express door-to-door delivery across Cambodia”.

With their Instagram adding that they also provide Premium Molto Gelato, as well as Joe’s Popcorn, whatever either of those things are.

This does not though make us any the wiser about the logistics of having a Big Mac delivered to you in Cambodia! Khmer Nights went to investigate.

McDonalds Deliveries in Cambodia – what did they say?

Currently there is nothing on Bodega KH’s Facebook page, but they have gone Instagram story and post mad with it. The main post stating;

“With an overwhelming request from our customers, we have decided to set up a McDonald’s delivery service to deliver it to Cambodia right at your door step! Drop your order now! Menu coming soon “bodegakh”

Bodega Fresh Fruits & Snacks speak exclusively to Khmer Nights!

At Khmer Nights we had a whole heap of question! Firstly where would the McDonalds be delivered from? How would it be delivered? Would it arrive hot? and can I supersize me? After messaging on Instagram, Facebook and finally by text, we eventually got hold of them.

Speaking exclusively to Khmer Nights Duong Ley the entrepreneurial owner of the company stated “we will ship our first batch this Monday, or maybe sooner, perhaps even Sunday”.

She further added that the orders would be delivered from McDonalds in Thailand, which led us on to the obvious elephant in the room, how do you deliver McDonalds to Cambodia? For which we were provided with the perfect graphic.

So, essentially your McDonalds gets frozen with dry-ice, you receive it one day later put it in the microwave and eat your McDonalds. When asked about the frozen element she went on to add that it was for “safety reasons with dry ice being -20 degrees”, so even if you did want it at room temperature that will not currently be an option.

Prices have not yet been released by the company, although she added that they would be ready very soon. Is there though a market for frozen McDonalds? Apparently so, at least going by the comments being made on social media.

How are netizens reacting?

Cambodian netizens have reacted as you’d expect, with there being a firm mixture of excitement, skepticism, and at least one McDonalds hating negative nelly. Our particular favorite quote being “Why the hype there are already great burgers in Cambodia”.

Yes there are great Burgers in Cambodia, BUT there is no McDonalds no matter how hard The Vine tries to pull one off.

And there you have it, 2021 the year that frozen McDonalds from Thailand started getting delivered to Cambodia. Quite how popular a frozen McDonalds will be, or indeed how it will taste no one yet knows, but Khmer Nights have already placed their first order.
