Popeyes S’pore Comes Out with Crab Mantou Burger for $9.90 a Set

One thing’s for sure: we would be distracting our boss tomorrow so that we can steal his credit card to buy this burger.

‘Coz, well, you don’t get to taste a crab meat burger from a fast-food chain. Crap, I don’t think I’ve even heard of crabs in a fast-food restaurant before.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been greeted with the weirdest combinations we’ve come across in the history of mankind. First, we have har cheong gai burger, then durian ice-cream, then chilli crab curry puff, then durian curry puff, and even teh terik pie – either the sense of patriotism is growing among people working in the F&B industry, or everyone’s jumping on the bandwagon.

And not that we mind though. We get more free food (no, it’s not that they sent it to us, but rather we stole our boss’s card) and won’t need to think about what we have for lunch every weekday.

Crab Burgers in Popeyes

Okay, we took a bit of an artistic liberty with the name: the exact name is Chic & Crab Mantou set. That’s a mouthful, so here’s a breakdown of the set (and why we call it the crab burger):

As you can see, it actually comes with two “burgers”: the one with soft-shell crab and the other one with chicken. So basically, the buns of the burger are being swapped with mantous instead, because mantous and crabs are BFF.

In other words, this entire set is for one pax (unless you’re fat like our boss, it would be for ½ pax) despite it having two “burgers” due to its size.

It contains a “chilli in a special sauce”, though we’re not certain whether it’s chilli crab sauce.

Also, we’re not sure how small (or big) they are, so stay tuned in this app. And like what we’ve always said, come to our app every day instead of relying on Facebook to bring you here lah. Please, pretty?

Cost of the Burger

The entire set, which come with the two “burgers”, one regular mashed potato and one regular drink, is at $9.90. Based just on online information, we couldn’t find the price of the item just by itself. Then we came across this:

Oh wells.

For $19.50, you can get the same thing plus one more drink, one cheese fries, 2-pc chicken and 1 atom ice-cream. Pretty worth it if you’d ask me (lest, you know, the mantous aren’t your cup of tea).

You can also download the latest coupons here (with some deals like Chic & Rice for $5.90). The vouchers are valid until 3 September 2018.

Now, can anyone think of any ideas on how we can get our boss to leave his wallet on his desk while he goes to the toilet?
