WE TRY MCDONALD'S NEW CHOC BANANA PIE

It seems McDonald's has heard our clamour for the return of their well-received chocolate pie and decided to up the game with two fillings crammed into one crisp pastry shell. 

The Choco Banana Pie ($1.50) was launched yesterday (Oct 31), boasting the tried-and-tested flavour combination of banana and chocolate — sounds almost fool-proof, right? 

While it may be a bit odd to some that the fillings were separate and not mixed together, we're happy to report that the new dessert was a hit in the office when we tried it over lunch.

One colleague who ordered it for the second time in two days described it as "awesome", while even non-banana lovers admit it's something they'd order again. 

It makes us wonder, will we be seeing more of these dual-flavour pies in the pipeline? 

The pie is available at all McDonald's outlets, dessert kiosks, and via McDelivery and GrabFood after breakfast hours, while stocks last.

The burgers are available at $7.40 each a la carte, or $8.90 for a regular meal ($9.50 upsized).

For those who want a creamier punch to other burgers, a top-up of $0.90 for three slices of avocado will also be available.
