McDonald's has introduced several new menu items, and while most impressed, one seriously missed the mark. The Tikka Chicken Wrap, launched on February 3, was a highlight, delivering bold, mouth-watering flavours. The wrap features either crispy or grilled chicken with tikka mayo and a mango and lime chutney, layered with onions, lettuce and cucumber, all wrapped in a soft, toasted tortilla.
Two new McFlurry options were also tried: the Milkybar Crispy Cookie McFlurry and the Munchies Vanilla Cheesecake McFlurry. The Milkybar version combines soft dairy ice cream with white chocolate-coated crispy balls and a cookie-flavoured chocolate sauce. The Munchies version features chocolate-coated biscuit balls topped with a cheesecake-flavoured vanilla sauce. The Milkybar was the favourite, not overly sweet with plenty of sauce. Interestingly, one taster thought the Munchies McFlurry tasted like coffee.
However, the Brownie Pie was a disappointment. Described as having a 'gooey brownie filling wrapped in a crisp, baked pastry,' it was incredibly dry. The sauce at the bottom tasted like hot chocolate but was insufficient to rescue the rest. The brownie lacked the expected gooey richness, making each bite dry.
For the best experience, the reviewer recommends the Tikka Chicken Wrap with fries and a drink, followed by the Milkybar Crispy Cookie McFlurry.
