Local celebrity Ben Yeo scored a collaboration with fast food giant McDonald’s to create the Crispy “Hainanese Chicken” Burger. Inspired by the local delight — Hainanese Chicken Rice — this burger incorporated the essential spices and ingredients to fuse with the familiar elements from a chicken burger. The end product was a crispy yet juicy chicken piece with the lettuce and shredded cabbages with the garlic chilli sauce and the Dark Sweet Sauce that was given separately. Although the sauce lacked the umami notes, it somehow still tasted quite balanced when eaten with bread.
By ordering the Feast which was the combo meal complete with Criss-cut Fries, Kopi Frappe and Banana Pie dessert, it completed the experience that was curated for the fans. For S$11.70, this meal might not be a must-try for some, but in my opinion it was also something that deserved a chance, just as we would celebrate National Day this month.
