The McDonald's Singapore Laksa Burger is a new regional menu item from the QSR brand for consumers to try out when looking for a different yet familiar lunch or dinner. The sandwich comes in two varieties including the Laksa Delight Prawn Burger and the Laksa Delight Chicken Burger, which are both inspired by the namesake Southeast Asian noodle soup dish. Both the sandwiches feature an egg patty topped with a creamy Laksa sauce and lettuce on a toasted bun.
The McDonald's Singapore Laksa Burger is a limited-time menu item for patrons to pick up, and is arriving alongside the new Pulut Hitam Pie and the Teh C Frappe. The various items come as part of the QSR brand's continued offering of removed food varieties that are inspired by traditional or regional fare.
