SINGAPORE – Move over, curry sauce, there is a new flavour coming to your nearest McDonald’s outlet from July 10.
The fast-food chain is partnering local seafood restaurant Jumbo Seafood to introduce the Chilli Crab Sauce Burger, in celebration of Singapore’s National Day.
You can choose between the prawn burger, which has a two-patty option, and the chicken burger. Be prepared to shell out at least $8.95 for an Extra Value Meal, if you want a side and a drink too.
Lathered in chilli crab sauce that McDonald’s promises would capture Jumbo’s signature savoury, sweet and tangy notes, the patty or patties will be paired with lettuce and scrambled eggs, and pinched between two brioche buns.
The chilli crab sauce will also be available as a dip, for $1.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Jumbo Seafood to bring a truly local flavour to our customers this year,” said McDonald’s Singapore senior director of marketing and digital customer experience Drina Chee.
“Our teams worked closely to develop a chilli crab-inspired sauce that delivers everything we love in this quintessential dish of Singapore, reimagined as not just one, but two uniquely McDonald’s burgers.”
Jumbo Group’s executive chairman and group chief executive Ang Kiam Meng said: “Chilli crab holds a special place in every Singaporean’s heart, and it’s exciting to see this iconic dish reimagined so creatively.
“While rooted in our rich heritage, we’re always looking to innovate, and this partnership with McDonald’s is a fantastic way to showcase our signature chilli crab sauce in a fresh, bold way.”
Also in McDonald’s National Day line-up are the Kampung Drumlets, Iced Dinosaur, Pulut Hitam Pie and Chendol Soft Serve.
The new menu items, except the Chendol Soft Serve, will be available at all McDonald’s restaurants and via food delivery platforms from 11am on July 10. The Chendol Soft Serve will be available all day from July 10 at the chain’s dessert kiosks and participating outlets.
McDonald’s burgers, inspired by Jumbo Seafood’s chilli crab recipe, will deliver the same savoury, sweet and tangy notes.
