McDonald's launching Chilli Crab Sauce Burger in collab with Jumbo Seafood, also releasing limited-edition Lunch Bag
This year, in celebration of SG60, they're taking things up a notch as they team up with popular Singaporean restaurant Jumbo Seafood to release the new Chilli Crab Sauce Burger from July 10, the fast-food chain announced at a press event today (July 8).
The launch of the new burger marks McDonald's Singapore's and Jumbo Seafood's first collaboration and comes alongside other local food- and beverage-inspired menu items.
The Chilli Crab Sauce Burger will come in two variants: the Chilli Crab Sauce Prawn Burger and Chilli Crab Sauce Chicken Burger — both served with lettuce, scrambled egg, brioche buns and doused with a sweet, tangy and slightly spicy chilli crab sauce.
According to McDonald's Singapore, the chilli crab sauce used is inspired by Jumbo Seafood's award-winning chilli crab recipe and had been in development since August 2024, with more than 50 iterations before being approved by the restaurant.
Ang Kiam Meng, executive chairman and group CEO of Jumbo Group, said in a press release: "Chilli Crab holds a special place in every Singaporean's heart, and it's exciting to see this iconic dish reimagined so creatively.
"While rooted in our rich heritage, we're always looking to innovate, and this partnership with McDonald's is a fantastic way to showcase our signature chilli crab sauce in a fresh, bold way."
Prices for the Chilli Crab Sauce Burgers start from $8.95 for an Extra Value Meal.
For those who can't get enough of the sauce, the Chilli Crab Sauce Tub will also be available for purchase at $1.
Other new local F&B-inspired menu items for this year's National Day include Kampung Drumlets (from $3.35) featuring drumlets coated in a blend of chilli, turmeric, cumin and ginger; and Ice Dinosaur (from $4.15), a take on Singapore's iconic Milo Dinosaur drink.
This National Day menu launch will also see the return of the Pulut Hitam Pie (from $1.80) and Chendol Cone (from $1.30).
Limited-edition Lunch Bag
In addition to the new menu, McDonald's Singapore will also be releasing a limited-edition McDonald's Lunch Bag — a thermal insulated bag carrier from July 28 at 11am.
The lunch bag will be available at $7.90 with purchase of any meal (excluding Happy Meals).
McDonald's members will get early access from July 24, 2pm to 6pm and will be able to redeem the McDonald's Lunch Bag for 1,500 MyM reward points exclusively on the McDonald's app.
The item will be distributed at a first-come-first-served basis and while stocks last.

What is the best way to meet the people's needs? SM Lee, Jamus Lim debate COE scheme , Singapore News
While they are both keen on addressing the needs of Singaporeans, Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong and the Workers' Party MP Jamus Lim disagreed on the means of doing so, according to an exchange between the two on Facebook on Wednesday (July 16). SM Lee had said during a dialogue at the Economic Society of Singapore's (ESS) annual dinner on July 15 — where he was also conferred the title of Honorary Fellow — that introducing considerations for different groups' needs and circumstances into the COE system could "make it unworkable". Prof Lim wrote in his Facebook post that while SM Lee had noted during the dialogue that many people had "legitimate claims on an affordable vehicle", he didn't mention a means to adjudicate between these claims. "He then pivoted to how competitive bidding represented the best way to allocate between these claims," said Prof Lim. "What's sorely missing, however, is how those with genuine needs may not have the purchasing power to meet those needs, even if their needs may have more merit." According to Prof Lim, this suggests SM Lee has decided to let the market choose who should receive the certificate — which means that those with more money will have priority. "[This] isn't how many humans wish to live; to have every aspect of their lives determined in a transactional way. Society has values — about compassion, equity, respect, and loyalty — that are poorly valued by impersonal markets," he added. But Prof Lim also wrote that SM Lee did stress the importance of ensuring access to public transport, as opposed to car ownership. "And to be clear, this isn't a character flaw," said Prof Lim. Affordable transportation for all Rebutting Prof Lim on Facebook, SM Lee said that during the dialogue, he made a separate point on how the government has focused on providing affordable and efficient transport options. On Tuesday, SM Lee had stated that he can guarantee every Singaporean "affordable, convenient transportation". "I cannot guarantee every Singaporean an affordable car… Cars, no. Transportation, yes," he had said. He then explained that Singaporeans who have special requirements, such as those with children, can benefit from a larger baby bonus which they can use to defray the cost of a car. "Directly help the group you need to help in cash, rather than make complicated schemes, which then end up with all kinds of contradictions and wrong incentives," SM Lee had pointed out. Reiterating his arguments in his response to Prof Lim, SM Lee wrote: "Where we disagree is not over who cares more for our fellow Singaporeans, but what is the best way to meet people's needs and take care of them." Lim concurred, adding that their disagreement stems from their "differing beliefs about the behaviour of people, and the efficacy of markets". Defining success today At the dialogue, SM Lee tackled other topics such as US tariffs and climate change. He also shared his thoughts on what success means for the youth of Singapore today. Responding to a question from ESS Young Professionals Wing chairman Benjamin Lau, SM Lee commented that "it is for the young Singaporeans to define what they would like success to mean". He explained that youths today are born with advantages their parents did not have, specifically the higher standard of living and education opportunities. "You have a Singapore degree from an AU (Autonomous University), you can go anywhere in the world and find work. We are in Silicon Valley. We are all over China. You go to deepest Africa, you will find Singaporeans there," he said. He also advised youth to not rest on their laurels. "Do not lie flat," SM Lee cautioned. "It is such a waste, that your parents will be disappointed in you… If you lie flat after a while, I hope you are ashamed of yourself. "We did all these for you, make use of it and show us that actually, you are better than us." [[nid:720049]] khooyihang@
