Isn’t this the best news you’ve heard all day? Well, we don’t know about you, but we sure as hell are jumping with joy when we saw that news of the McDonald’s Nasi Lemak Burger will be returning back on the menu. According to 8Days, they received a lil (okay, major!) tip-off from an unknown but reliable source who spilled the beans that McDonald’s reinterpretation of one of Singapore’s classic soul food will be making a comeback, along with the Chendol McFlurry and Bandung McFizz, at the end of August at all McDonald’s outlets.
Millions of Singaporeans probably have their hopes raised way up high right now, especially for those who did not even get a taste of the delightful burger, so to that mysterious insider: this news is a huge claim to say so confidently, and if it happens to be a scam, just know that you’ll be the most hated person in the whole of Singapore.
However, it seems like there is a high possibility that this is true, given that the representative from McDonald’s who spoke with 8Days did not give a confirmation NOR shoot down the prospect of it entirely. Plus, the whole concept of creating locally inspired dishes to celebrate National Day and the taste of the burger itself received positive reviews and overwhelming support island-wide, so McDonald’s, can you feel the love from everyone?
Here at NYLON, we braved the long queues during the lunch peak hours, and we almost even exceeded our break time, but it was all worth it as we sunk our teeth into the burger that’s packed with a juicy chicken patty, golden fried egg, caramelized onions, fresh cucumbers, and the sweet and spicy, but bearable yet addictive sambal sauce, in between two toasted semolina buns. We had a major food coma after.
Although McDonald’s came up with Eggcellent McSpicy to take over the short-lived Nasi Lemak Burger, it was not enough to quell our disappointment upon hearing news that it was going to be taken down when it didn’t even last on the menu for more than two weeks, leaving our taste buds craving for more.
We’ve spoken, so everything is now in the hands of McDonald’s. We trust that our favourite fast food chain will make a wise decision and bring us the good news we all want to hear, so stay tuned for further updates!
