McDonald's new burger is NO JOKE
I had the NEW McDonald's Spicy Korean Burger on its releasing day which was on the 25th July. I was already out with Ka Mun and we both thought we should try it while we're at it. But we found out then and there that it was a beef burger. We seriously thought that it'd be a chicken burger. Like how Korean are also famous for its fried chicken but boy, were we wrong... Since it's beef, our Ms. Leong here cannot eat them. But for me, I really wanna give it a try so I was the only one who ordered it.
When I first opened the box, the burger looked very messy. There's all kinds of veggies inside and they were all spilling out. The patty looked similar to any other beef patties - thin and plain dark - nothing surprising. The only sauce I noticed was the cheese on the veggies. I took my first bite without dipping in the chili sauce because I wanted to try the pure taste of it. And little did I know, I never dipped my burger in at all.
The first bite took me a long time trying to digest the spiciness. Initially, I thought the spice was really lacking. But after I chewed on longer, they finally hit those taste buds. The burger was goood. Something about the patty just seemed right. The kimchi sauce that marinates it plus the combination between the charcoal bun and the cheese sauce really boost up the taste. I loved it!! The spiciness was on-point for me.
I don't know if it's just me, but the size of the burger felt satisfying too. I took quite a number of bites so it was enough for me.
It also came with the crispy cut-fries. They're very little compared to the usual french fries. It's crispy, but it really felt like eating a mini cracker rather than fried potato. I prefer the normal fries. Or at least the cut-fries can be made bigger in size so it'll be more worth it.
The price though... was expensive. I get that it's a promotional burger, but RM16 for a medium set with small amount of cut-fries, quite a bum. Even BurgerLab's charcoal burgers can get much more filling with that same price. I didn't know we can get a Fanta grape OR the usual coke for it, and I usually don't take coke so I changed it (not knowing Fanta grape is part of the promotion) to a Sprite... boooo!! Talk about not being well-informed. Ugh.
Overall, McDonald's Spicy Korean Burger is worth a try. I'd eat it again if I get the chance to. I think having ala-carte would be a good option for this burger considering the fries are just meh. So I'd give it a 7/10 for the great and tasty burger. Hopefully a chicken version would be up next!
