McDonald's Aloo Tikkie - Vegetarian food - Singapore


 Finally, after seeing so many colourful ads in the news papers, few friends recommendations, I had to go and buy the new McDonald's Aloo Tikkie!
 
Here is what I felt after the first bite and gulped it down with some water flavoured with milo. I paid 50% extra on the whole meal and successfully contributed to the company's profits and charity activities for the year.
 
The aloo pattie is so bland and bad that if the company intends to continue the same item on the menu should stop using the existing cook and food researcher and consider hiring a new cook or research head for vegetarian section.
 
As usual, the bun used for the burger is dry felt somewhat old and not fresh.
 
The two pathetic tomato pieces felt so sad that I quickly closed the burger and wrapped it in its original casket sorry cover.
 
If McDonald's really want to offer a vegetarian choice in its menu and or attract a fair share of profits from the vegetarian or vegan group, they really should start with something better than this.
 
Last year we tried almost similar in India and threw more than half of the burger in the trash. Couldn't imagine such lousy horrible burger from a company which boasts world wide reputation. The only thing I can imagine that is contributing to its existence in that market is nothing but the new craze and money that is circulating in Indians. Nothing else!
 
My final words on this is - Not at all worth the amount spent. If you can find a toast box or Ya kun kaya near by spend the money on their toast. Every penny worth.

Latest - is the burger a hit with the customers? NO. To get rid of the stuff already prepared and/or to meet the pattie number target of the month, McDonald's has put Double Aloo Tikki burger on offer! Instead of one pattie you get two.
