Singaporeans have two great fast food loves – McDonald’s Curry Sauce and McDonald’s Spicy Nuggets! And now, for the first time ever, those two worlds collided with McDonald’s new release: Curry Chicken McNuggets! Imagine the unmistakable warm, spiced aroma of a medley of spices and seasoning, now infused into crispy, golden nuggets, and you have an idea of what’s coming!
But that’s not all. A local-themed favourite is making a triumphant return after two previous successful runs, and to top it all off? A new delectably sweet drink has landed, the best way to beat the Singaporean heat with some creamy, cooling deliciousness!
A Perfect Curry Combination
Singapore’s obsession with McDonald’s Curry Sauce is no secret. Since its debut in 1995, it has been the unofficial national condiment, the one thing standing between us and dry, soulless nuggets. But in an exciting twist, McDonald’s has taken that iconic aromatic, slightly spicy, deeply savoury curry flavour and infused it directly into the nuggets themselves with the new Curry Chicken McNuggets!
The result? Crispy, juicy nuggets with a rich, aromatic curry marinade that delivers a warm, slightly spiced, deeply savoury bite every time. Whether you go for the 6-piece, 9-piece, or 20-piece option, these nuggets are perfect for sharing, though let’s be real, you’ll probably want them all to yourself after trying them once!
I tried them myself, and let me tell you – when they’re hot, tender, and dipped in McDonald’s signature curry sauce, they are absolutely phenomenal. The double curry zing is just right, delivering a delightfully full curry taste with just the right amount of sweetness and spice from the aromatics. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can pair the Curry Chicken McNuggets with McDonald’s tangy Honey Mustard or smoky Barbecue Sauce for a different combination!
Just the Right Amount of Lemak!
Some things deserve a permanent spot on the McDonald’s menu, and the Nasi Lemak Burger is one of them. McDonald’s, however, prefers to keep us on our toes, so after teasing us with it in the past, they’ve finally brought it back – and it’s just as good as we remember.
This flavour bomb of a burger starts with a crispy, coconut-infused chicken patty, sandwiched between a lightly toasted bun. Then comes the refreshing crunch of cucumbers, a perfectly cooked fried egg, and sweet, caramelised onions. But the real star? The signature sambal sauce. Packed with ikan bilis undertones, it delivers that signature sweet, spicy, umami kick.
Biting into it feels like eating a full nasi lemak meal in burger form, minus the rice, of course. The sambal plays beautifully with the richness of the egg and the crunch of the patty, creating a harmonious blend of flavours that somehow just works. If you missed it the last time, do yourself a favour – don’t sleep on it this round!
An Unexpected Addition
Sometimes, life is about the simple pleasures. And honestly, what’s more fast food joy personified than a good old-fashioned Coke Float? It’s bubbly, creamy, fizzy, and refreshing all at once, and of course it is! Vanilla soft serve and Coca-Cola are a match made in heaven.
It’s the perfect way to wash down a spicy mouthful of sambal or curry, delivering instant, ice-cold relief while reminding you of childhood McDonald’s runs. I’d never had the opportunity to try one before, and now that I have, I can see myself ordering one with every meal as long as it’s around!
Be There When the Bomb Drops!
Here’s the best part – you won’t have to wait too long to get your hands on these new offerings! Starting 24 February 2025, The Curry Chicken McNuggets and Nasi Lemak Burger will be available after breakfast hours at all McDonald’s restaurants islandwide, but only for a limited time while stocks last.
Whether you’re dining in, hitting the Drive-Thru, or ordering via McDelivery, GrabFood, foodpanda, or Deliveroo, act fast, because we all know how fast Singaporeans can clear out a McDonald’s seasonal item. As for the Coke Float, you can grab it all day at participating restaurants for dine-in and takeaway, also while stocks last.
And if you’re a MyMcDonald’s app member, there’s even more reason to celebrate – starting 13 March 2025, every purchase of a Nasi Lemak Burger earns you double MyM Rewards Points. That means more points, more savings, and more excuses to keep coming back.
So here’s the bottom line – don’t wait or hesitate! Don’t be the person regretting that you didn’t try these before they disappeared like everyone who missed out on those one-time-only McDonald’s seasonal items, so make sure you’re first in line come 24 February!
