Oishii! McDonald’s Singapore just released two new Yakiniku Burgers last Thursday. One day before the official launch, a vending machine was installed at Plaza Singapura to dispense free burgers but only for just one day (24th April 2024) and while stock last.

Asking mum not to cook dinner last Friday, I detoured to McDonald’s after work to order two different sets of the yakiniku burger. Mum got her Yakiniku Crispy Chicken Special (S$9.90) with Potato Wedges and I changed her carbonated drink to a hot Cappuccino (top up S$1). The burger came with a crispy chicken patty paired with luscious yakiniku sauce, caramelized onions, crunchy shredded white cabbage and lettuces, hugged by semolina buns. I asked mum how she liked her meal and she said it was good.
As for myself, I went with the Yakiniku Beef Special (S$9.90) with Potato Wedges and changed my gassy drink to a small Iced Green Tea (add S$0.75). Instead of chicken, mine had a slice of 100% Quarter Pounder beef and the same toppings but they are less generous with yakiniku sauce though. The semolina buns are soft & fluff and the shredded cabbages plentiful but the beef patty is on the dry side due to not enough of the savoury sauce.
I also picked up two Taro Custard Pies which normally cost S$1.80 each but as an add-on to the set meal cost me only S$1.20 each. Of all the McDonald’s pies I have devoured, this yam and custard combination is the best so far. Warm and crispy on the outside while the sweet filling is both creamy yet earthy at the same time.
