I guess I can say I was very lucky.
While “The BTS Meal” is sold out in apparently 5 minutes according to TODAY, I made a late after-lunch order via GrabFood and got the meal at my doorstep in half an hour.
To avoid massive crowd during this challenging COVID-19 times, this special meal is available via delivery channels only.
The meal cannot be purchased in-store or via drive-through facilities.
The BTS Meal done in collaboration with fast-good giant McDonald’s, and comes with a 9-piece Chicken McNuggets, two new limited-time sauces – Sweet Chili and Cajun, Large Fries and Large Coke Original Taste Less Sugar.
Do note that the special BTS brown bag is not available in Singapore.
This is priced at $8.90, while the GrabFood service fee came up to $4.70.
I must say this came in a pretty-purple colour. The reason accordingly was due to BTS member Taehyung, who mentioned this purple was the last colour of the rainbow and meant to represent love and trust.
“I Purple You” became a popular phrase among BTS fans, which means loving and trusting the person for a long time.
Taste-wise, the Chicken McNuggets are the usual nuggets – nothing out of the ordinary, though the drink came such in a large size I could drink this across 3 days.
The special thing are the two limited sauces of Sweet Chili Sauce and the Cajun Sauce – hot mustard with chili and peppers (contains egg and soy).
Picked by BTS and inspired by McDonald’s South Korea, I preferred the Sweet Chili Sauce which was sweet, sour and only slightly sour. I would say it reminded me of the Thai sweet chilli sauce, just that this was less spicy.
I was not too sure of the Cajun Sauce, which had a hot mustard flavour.
Perhaps I am quite used to the delightful sweet honey mustard, and got slightly thrown off by the spicy taste. SCMP rated it 10/10 – really? Okay lah, food is subjective.
