McDonald’s Singapore drops new tom yum burgers, fish nuggets and more

There’s always something new coming out of the kitchens at McDonald’s. (Did you get to try the recent samurai shoyu mayo burger?) 

From November 6, the fast-food chain is turning up the heat with an all-new tom yum burger (from S$8.95) that features a bold and tangy sauce that’s new, too — a tom yum mayo sauce! 

Spice spice paradise

The new burger sees a crispy prawn patty layered in that creamy, zesty sauce, tomatoes and a mix of shredded purple cabbage and onions, sandwiched in between sesame-laden soft buns.

And if prawn is not quite your thing, you can instead opt for a version with a spicy chicken thigh patty, instead.

There’s also another new item on the menu — fish nuggets — though this has been around since October 30.

The nuggets are made with Alaskan pollock, the same fish used in its signature Filet-O-Fish burgers, and can be enjoyed as part of a six-piece Extra Value Meal (from S$8.70). 

We’re excited to see if the new tom yum mayo sauce, which will be available together with the set meals from November 6, adds a new dimension to these fishy bites. 

If you’re looking for more even sauce, more tubs can be purchased at 50 cents.

Sweet treats

There’s yet another Thai classic making a splash on McDonald’s newest menu — a Thai milk tea frappe (from S$5.90) that is a sweet treat to end your meal with! 

It’s a fun spin on the classic drink we all know and love, tailored to beat the sweltering heat.

Speaking of sweets, you might have already seen McDonald’s latest caffeine-infused treat, the McCafe affogato (S$3), since October 23. 

It pairs creamy and smooth soft-serve along with bold espresso that’s great for a midday pick-me-up.  

Also making an appearance is a fun McFlurry duo, too: The Kitkat Milo McFlurry (from S$3.80)! 

Perfect for those of us with a sweet-tooth, it features crunchy Kitkat crumble and malty Milo bits that’s sure to win the hearts of chocolate-lovers islandwide. 

More in store

If you’re a millennial or older, and remember the Ronald McDonald statues of old, here’s your chance to get a blast from the past.

A travelling Ronald McDonald statue from Thailand will be making stops at selected restaurants from November 8 to 16. What’s special about this particular statue is that it has its palms pressed together in a traditional wai greeting.

Be one of the first 25 entries per location to snap a wefie with him, post it on Instagram and tag @McdSG, and you might win five tom yum chicken burger meals, for free!

The menu items are available for a limited time only, while stocks last, from 11am at all restaurants islandwide, Drive-Thrus, and major delivery platforms. Do note that the McCafe affogato is available at participating restaurants and Drive-Thrus only.
