#Sweet BBQ McSpicy

[buffetlicious]

It is August 29, 2024 and McDonald’s Singapore had just released not one but two new variations of the classic McSpicy burger. I have mainly kept away from the McSpicy since it was introduced in Singapore in 1999 because just like name, it is over spicy for me. It is not nicknamed McLaoSai / McDiarrhea for nothing as quite a few customers get stomach upset due to the extra spiciness. Over the years, I have tried it a few more times and I have noticed that the heat level has since been adjusted down. So here I am, bringing you the reviews of the all-new Sweet BBQ McSpicy with Egg & Cheese and Sweet BBQ McSpicy with Chicken Bacon.

Went straight for the Sweet BBQ McSpicy with Egg & Cheese Special (S$8.90) that comes with the burger, Crisscut Fries and a soft drink which I changed to a small Ice Green Tea (topped up S$0.75). Opening the box, I can see the cutlet of fried chicken thigh, sitting on a fried egg topped with melty cheese, sweet BBQ crème sauce and ample crisp lettuce. All these are sandwiched between soft, glazed sesame seeds buns. First bite impression, crispy juicy chicken with plenty of the sweet and smoky sauce dripping all over my hands. That fiery heat is now more manageable, and I am finally enjoying it with the cheese and egg combo.

The next day, I ordered the Sweet BBQ McSpicy with Chicken Bacon Special (S$8.90) which lack the egg and cheese but comes with a few strips of chicken bacon. Topped up S$1.15 to change the gassy drink to a medium Ice Lemon Tea. I still get that crispy chicken thigh patty and smoky BBQ crème sauce with crisp lettuce. The bacon add a crunch factor to the crispy chicken thigh. Maybe adding on the bacon to the Sweet BBQ McSpicy with Egg & Cheese would make it an even better burger.

Bought mum the Extra Value Meal of Filet-O-Fish (S$5.50) with medium French fries and a small drink. She loves the fluffy soft buns with the fried fish fillet. She didn’t care for the drink, so I left it in the fridge and drank it the next day.

The McSpicy burger I have tried it quite a few times over the years. Frankly speaking, I found it a little too spicy for me though in recent time the heat seems to have been toned down or maybe I have grown more tolerant of the spices. When McDonald's Singapore released the new Sweet BBQ McSpicy and a new dessert, it is time to go try them out.

At the self-serve kiosk, I chose the Sweet BBQ McSpicy Feast (S$10.40) which came with the mentioned burger, a medium-sized fries and a Cocoa-nut Pie. Paid S$0.85 to upgrade the cola to a small ice milo. It is still the same old McSpicy that I know but with a sweet and smoky twist and slices of crispy chicken bacon! The BBQ creme sauce adds flavours and toned down the spiciness so I don’t have to keep reaching for the cup of ice milo. Overall, a notch better than the OG McSpicy but for a limited time only.

Now for the cocoa and coconut dessert, the warm Cocoa-nut Pie. The crispy cocoa shell hides the creamy coconut milk and nata de coco filling. It is not too sweet and the chewy pieces of coconut water jellies complements the crispy crust.
