The dessert features black sesame mixed into vanilla soft serve and topped with crispy cereal. It's only available at McDonald's dessert kiosks in Singapore and only for a limited time.
The price tag starts at $2.80 SG ($2.25 US).
This isn't a black sesame first for the chain as McDonald's has offered a Black Sesame Sundae in Hong Kong occasionally.
Black sesame is a fairly common ingredient in certain Asian cuisines and is especially popular in some desserts. It's known for a robust nutty flavor. It's also a lot better smelling than durian (which they also offered as a McFlurry in the past).
Here in the US, you might find it in a few frozen yogurt shops like Yogurtland (at select locations) or maybe at a Chinese dessert shop.
The Ebi Burger is a McDonald's Japan regular item but finds itself in Singapore for a limited time. It's main feature is a deep-fried shrimp patty. It's also being offered in Hong Kong for a limited time.
The Tropical Tango McFizz is a bit like Taco Bell's Mountain Dew A.M. in that it features a blend of soda and fruit juices.
The Banana Pie is a deep-fried turnover-style pie with a sweet banana filling.
I won't lie. It looks as tempting as it did last year. But for $40, I expect some side items to complete the meal. You could get WAY more for $40 from a supermarket selling Turkey dinners.
ReplyDeleteThink of how many Tuesday Specials you could get for $40...
ReplyDeleteIt is pricey but I will try it anyway. For the blog!
