Every year, McDonald’s Singapore delivers a burger with a local twist ahead of National Day. For 2025, the iconic menu item is the McDonald’s Chilli Crab Sauce Burgers, a special collaboration with leading seafood restaurant JUMBO Seafood that brings the flavours of the iconic Singaporean dish into a burger-sized bite that will be in stores from 10 July onwards, for a limited time only.
The McDonald’s Chilli Crab Sauce Burgers are available in two versions: a Chilli Crab Sauce Chicken Burger and a Chilli Crab Sauce Prawn Burger.
As part of the parade of local flavours, McDonald’s Singapore has also lined up all-new Kampung Drumlets, Pulut Hitam Pie, Chendol Soft Serve and Iced Dinosaur.

The Chilli Crab Sauce Chicken Burger features a single juicy chicken patty with a crispy crust on top of a bed of lettuce and stacked with a fluffy scrambled egg, topped off with the chilli crab sauce. It comes sandwiched between a pair of brioche buns.
Then there is the Chilli Crab Sauce Prawn Burger. This consists of a crispy prawn patty along with the scrambled egg, chilli crab sauce and lettuce between the brioche buns.
Personally, we’ve always enjoyed it when McDonald’s Singapore rolls out their prawn patty. For those who also can’t get enough of the prawn patty, there is the option to get a Chilli Crab Sauce DOUBLE Prawn Burger.
Taste Test: McDonald’s Chilli Crab Sauce Burgers Review
We had the opportunity to preview the McDonald’s Chilli Crab Sauce Burgers at a media tasting.
Apparently, the McDonald’s Chilli Crab Sauce Burgers took 12 months to develop with countless variations before arriving at the final product. The brioche buns were also specially developed for the burgers.
Normally, you would expect to find egg in chilli crab sauce. However, this was not possible for the purposes of the McDonald’s Chilli Crab Sauce Burger. In its place, they have substituted the egg in the sauce with the layer of scrambled egg.
When we bit into the McDonald’s Chilli Crab Sauce Burger, we were pleasantly surprised by the flavour of the sauce. It had a bright flavour with a light hint of spicy heat. The sauce paired surprisingly well with the scrambled egg and we did not feel as if we missed the egg being part of the sauce.
The big debate will be whether to go with the prawn or the chicken version. Personally, we preferred the prawn version but the chicken version worked very well too.
For those who can’t get enough of the chilli crab sauce, McDonald’s will be selling Chilli Crab Sauce tubs separately so that you can drench the burger in the red, spicy sauce. Of course, you are welcome to dip anything else – Chicken McNuggets, fries or even Apple Pie – into the sauce.
Kampung Drumlets and Pulut Hitam Pie
Another new item worth trying is the Kampung Drumlets. They are coated with chilli, turmeric, cumin and ginger – a different flavour profile from the usual drumlets.
The Pulut Hitam Pie is a returning favourite and also well-worth a try.

Crispy Mac ‘N Cheesy Wrap at McDonald’s Singapore Review
McDonald’s and Mac & Cheese seems like a corny combination and the McDonald’s Crispy Mac ‘N Cheesy Wraps is now something that you can get in Singapore. This breakfast item is available as either a chicken sausage wrap or a chicken ham wrap.
The Crispy Mac ‘N Cheesy Wraps appears to be carrying on the trend brought about by the Chicken McWraps that were launched in April 2025. Available from 8 May 2025 during breakfast hours, this menu item is nice twist to McDonald’s existing breakfast wrap options.
We tried the Crispy Mac ‘N Cheesy Wrap Chicken Sausage.
At first glance, when we looked at the wrap, we were wondering where the mac & cheese element was. However, on closer inspection, we saw the mac and cheese patty tucked away next to the scrambled eggs. It is similar to the regular McDonald’s Breakfast Wrap except that in place of the hash brown, there is a mac and cheese patty.
The mac and cheese patty is comprised of elbow macaroni smothered in a creamy nacho cheese sauce. It is encrusted in a golden crust.
Initially, we were thinking that the mac and cheese patty looked a bit small. However, when we bit into it, we found it to be quite cheesy. It went well with the rest of the wrap’s ingredients – the chicken sausage and scrambled eggs. It added a dimension of velvety richness to the breakfast wrap.
Potato Pops
Usually a McDonald’s breakfast meal comes with hash brown. However, there is the option to swop out the hash brown for Potato Pops. These are little tater tots that come piled into in red paper box.
What makes the Potato Pops pop? That’s because they are spiced and you can see the specks of chilli inside. You definitely taste the flavour as well.
The Potato Pops are only available during breakfast hours.

McDonald’s Buttermilk Chicken McWrap Review
We gave the McDonald’s Buttermilk Chicken McWrap a try and were pleasantly surprised by the juiciness of the chicken meat. We also enjoyed the vegetables that helped to balance off the fried flavour of the chicken.
