A McDonald's salad bar? —
The world's first McDonald's Next -- part of the brand's efforts to be "modern and progressive" -- opened recently in Hong Kong. Among its surprising offerings is a salad bar filled with 19 ingredients including that all-important super food, quinoa.

McDonald's Next —
The red-and-yellow color palette most McDonald's fans are familiar with has been banished in favor of ambient lighting and glass and metallic interiors.

Table service —
McDonald's Next offers table service after 6 p.m. and premium coffee blends. The branch has also been fitted out with cell phone charging platforms, free Wi-Fi and self-order kiosks.

"I didn't come to McDonalds for a salad!" —
Not quite ready to give up your Big Mac? McDonald's Next, located in Hong Kong's Admiralty neighborhood, still offers the regular menu for those who want to pair their salad with a fat burger.

Create Your Taste —
The Next restaurant also features the brand's new Create Your Taste concept, which allows visitors to customize their burgers. It's a global initiative that launched early last year and has already made appearances around the world, including locations in the U.S., China, Australia and the U.A.E.

A response to falling sales —
In May last year, McDonald's announced its major turnaround plan after both revenues and guest traffic fell around the world. The company has yet to announce whether it'll be opening other McDonald's Next restaurants.
