McDonald’s introduces new dishes

MANILA, Philippines —  Building on their commitment to delivering the “Best-Ever Burger Experience,” McDonald’s introduces new, nostalgic sides that will elevate the entire meal experience.

Since July 2023, McDonald’s introduced many small changes in every layer of their iconic burgers to make one big difference their customers can taste.

At the heart of McDonald’s “Best-Ever Burgers” and the star for this year: their double cheeseburger, are the upgraded buns, which boast a softer texture that makes them moist, chewy and toastier to golden brown perfection.

But the improvements don’t stop there because the cheese is melted to the right temperature, ensuring just the right amount of satisfying “meltiness,” the 100 percent beef patties are juicier thanks to a wider gap in the flattening grill, and the vegetables fresher with a 60 percent reduction in stored vegetables.

To further give its menu a more Filipino flavor profile, it is pairing the double cheeseburger with new items whose tastes were inspired by popular flavor profiles back in the 1980s and 1990s.

“By incorporating familiar Filipino flavors into our menu, we are not only catering to the Filipino palate but also creating a shared experience across generations,” said Katrina Lee-Chua, director for marketing and channels.

The new side selections include the Sweet Corn McShaker Fries, which has a sweet and salty taste with a distinct sweet corn flavor shaken into McDonald’s world-famous fries. A complement to its flavor is the ChocNut Sundae and McCafe ChocNut Frappe all of which will be available for a limited time only.
