Asian-Inspired Fast Food Burgers

The Shanghai Whopper from Burger King India is a Flavorful Option

The Shanghai Whopper is a newly announced fast food burger from Burger King India that looks to blend a number of different ingredients in order to create a flavorful option for guests.

The Shanghai Whopper features a patty that is made with a choice of vegetables, chicken or mutton and is topped with crispy chow mein noodles. This is topped with the regular toppings found on the brand's various burgers (lettuce, onions, tomatoes and cheese) and finished with a King Pao sauce for a touch of heat.

The Shanghai Whopper fast food burger is oriented towards the Indian market without a beef option given the high number of Hindu customers that are within the population in the area that it will be available.
