We also tasted its new oceanic offerings and gave our verdict
You can almost hear the distant hallelujah chorus when news broke that fast food giant McDonald's will start selling its Chocolate Pie in Singapore from 1 March 2018.
Now, there's no need to project your petty jealousy to the citizens of Korea, Japan and Thailand, where these chocolate delights are only available in. Instead, you can soon flaunt your bragging rights with pictures of the pies' oozy dark goodness on Instagram. Multiple .gifs are proven more effective, we think.
But all gloating aside, how does the Chocolate Pie really fare though?
Fish & Fries ($7.90); Sweet Chilli Fish Burger (from $7.50)
Look out Long John Silvers, McDonald’s is coming for you with its rendition of the classic fish and chips. Boasting a rather coarse-battered exterior, the fish fillets of the Fish & Fries are surprisingly pleasant with a smear of tartar sauce. Instead of dainty and delicate, expect to chow down into flesh that almost mirrors that of steamed chicken breasts. Wait, so is that a good thing or bad? Whatever the case may be, we still didn’t mind the fried fish slabs overall.
On the other hand, the Sweet Chilli Fish Burger is just an elevated version of the Filet-O-Fish – an elevation we can do without. What’s different is that the burger packs crunchy vegetables, sweet mayonnaise and the same fish fillet from the Fish & Fires, between two hotdog buns. We’ll stick with the yummier Filet-O-Fish, please.
