Burger King Now Selling Mentaiko Burgers & Very Red Boxes To Celebrate CNY 2019

What’s the formula when it comes to standing out from the competition, at least in the Singapore fast food industry?

Apparently, it’s pretty easy.

Just don’t have salted egg in it.

I mean, KFC has their GoldSpice chicken. Popeyes has Salted Egg Parmesan Cheese chicken.

Long John has their salted egg giant squid and McDonald’s, their sour salted egg fries.

But finally.

Finally.

One fast food restaurant came up with a CNY flavour that isn’t the vaunted salted egg.

I mean, Singaporeans probably had enough of #saltedeggeverything, in part thanks to the McDonald’s latest concoction, the Salted Egg Loaded Fries.

Which, unless you’ve been living under a rock, has been the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons.

Burger King Selling Mentaiko Burgers To Welcome CNY 2019

Ever since we started doing no-holds-barred honest food reviews, fast food joints in Singapore stopped sending us tips, free food and media invites.

(Editor’s note: They do lah, it’s just not sent to you, Bruh, cuz maybe you too ugly)

But for the first time in a loooooooooooooong time, BK actually sent us a press release for their new item.

Probably because they’re that confident in their new item.

Introducing the Double Mentaiko BK Chick N Crisp and Salmon Mentaiko burgers.

Fans of BK would be familiar with the standards of their burgers. But guess what? They’re going to up the level even more with mentaiko sauce.

Sweet, umami with a slight kick of spice.
