MCDONALD'S LAUNCHES NEW ITEMS
McDonald’s is back with new, limited-time only items on the menu — this time offering a Grilled Chicken Sandwich ($6.20 a la carte), Crispy Fish Sandwich ($6.20 a la carte) and P?tato (yes, it comes with that emoji).
The new items will be available from Thursday (Sept 26).
We tried the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, which consists of skinless chicken thigh meat topped with chicken bacon and cheddar cheese, sandwiched between semolina buns.
If there ever was a ‘healthy’ fast-food burger, this would probably be it. We loved that the creamy chargrill sauce gave it a nice smoky, peppery edge. The cute smiley potatoes (available in a meal or $2 a la carte) will probably be a hit with the kiddos, but give us McDees' regular fries any day.
What’s more, fan-favourite Scrambled Egg Burger (with chicken bacon or sausage) returns during breakfast hours, available from $4 a la carte or in their Grab and Go weekday deals at selected outlets.
