Fast Food

Essentially cheese fries and fried shallots. If you can get Cheese Fries and ShackMeister Fries at the same price, why don’t go for the option that gives you fried shallots too? The combination works pretty well I must say.

So it’s crinkle cut fries topped with their house blend of Cheddar and American cheese sauce. It’s cheesy and slightly salty as the artificial taste is absent, but I still prefer KFC’s cheese fries (perhaps it’s comfort food). The fries itself tend to be slightly soggy on my multiple visits here. Sometimes the frozen fries you get at the supermarket or at the Western food stall taste better.

So y’all probably have heard about Shake Shack’s LIMITED EDITION SHACKMEISTER burger ($10.90 for single/ $14.40 for double - pictured). 🍔Angus beef patties, melted cheese AND FRIED SHALLOTS on a potato bun. 🧅 It’s still not too late if you haven’t tried it cause it’s available until 16 November.

I love these fried shallots cause this isn’t your ordinary fried shallots you cook at home or get at the supermarket. They are thick in size and taste more like mini onion rings. That’s because they are marinated in ShackMeister ale and coated in flour, cayenne and paprika (same as the Chick’n Shack). It complements well with the burger as the fried shallots has a nice sweet, crispy crunch.

While Shake Shack’s burgers may not be the best in town and atas (posh) fast food at best, it does the trick. The patties are juicy since they are cooked to medium and the potato bun is soft and fluffy that holds the burger well.

McGriddles is back! This year there’s an even bigger and better version in the form of the McGriddles Stack. Double chicken sausage patties, cheese, fried egg and chicken bacon sandwiched between two maple flavoured griddle cakes. Sounds good isn’t it?

There’s a balanced sweet and savoury taste in every single bite. Such a wholesome and hearty breakfast to have and best to wash it down with some iced Milo.

You can guess by now that this is my favourite Macs breakfast item and I was gutted when it was taken off the permanent menu. So I always make sure I have it when they make their annual appearance. The best thing is that it’s available throughout the day. So night owls need not worry about missing out.

It’s one of those items where there are polarising opinions of it. As you can see, I’m all for this.

If you haven’t got your hands on it, get it while it lasts. Otherwise you gotta wait till next year.
