McDonald’s (Hillion Mall)

McDonald’s had surely gotten our attention with the release of their latest limited time-only flavour of their soft-serve — folks whom have followed us for quite a while would have probably known how much we are a fan of the seasonal Purple Sweet Potato Waffle Cone that had made its appearance on the menu of McDonalds’ Singapore outlets at least twice in the past couple of years; probably one of our favourite limited time-only soft-serve releases of all time from the Golden Arches. It seems that McDonald’s had decided to bring the Purple Sweet Potato soft-serve back yet again after quite a hiatus, though its return this time round sees it coming in a slightly different format. While the previous runs of the Purple Sweet Potato Waffle Cone saw the soft-serve coming in a black waffle cone that is different from the cones that they serve with their standard Vanilla Cone, its current rendition does see it come with that same exact cone that accompanies their Vanilla Cone. With that said, the current run of the Purple Sweet Potato Cone has also seen a decrease of its pricing at $1.20 per cone instead of the $2.20 that it used to command when it came with the black waffle cone.

It may not be outrightly obvious to those whom are exposed to the Purple Sweet Potato Cone for the very first time, but those whom have had it in the previous runs with the black colour waffle cone might be able to tell the difference in the shade of purple that the current iteration of the Purple Sweet Potato Cone as compared to what had been previously served in the past — the current version comes in a lighter shade. As we went straight for the soft-serve, we could definitely feel that there was a difference in the overall quality in its current rendition as well — while the sweetness of the sweet potato is indeed the first thing that pulls through here, there was kinda a lack of depth in flavours when compared to the previous versions where the earthiness that made the flavour so notable seemed to have been lost. The finishing notes of the current iteration felt creamier and milky — similar to the Vanilla Cone with the flavours of the purple sweet potato dying out over time. We did recall a denser texture with soft-serve in the previous iteration of the Purple Sweet Potato Waffle Cone, but this one did feel a little lighter and airier; also closer to that of the Vanilla Cone. Overall, the current iteration of the Purple Sweet Potato Cone seem to have gone through some tweaks that made it feel it has lost the magic of what it was previously (which also felt more like a premium product) — really hope that they could look into recreating the Purple Sweet Potato soft-serve into what it used to be if they decide to bring this flavour back again some time in the future!

taste wasn’t as diluted as i thought & rly tastes like authentic matcha! would definitely try again!

Featured is the Signature Egg ($9.90) consisting of scrambled eggs, cheese, hash brown, onion jam and chipotle aioli. It’s spicy, drippy and sinful. The chipotle aioli is a little too spicy and covers up the taste of the other items, but all in all it’s an interesting burger that’s really breakfast for dinner. Located in Icon Village that has no lack of good food, time will tell if this joint can maintain their niche and prevail.

Another returned flavor, quite good with a rich milk tea taste, but typical of Thai milk tea, can be too sweet for some (Also available for McFlurry at S$3.20) #sgigfoodies #sgigfood #sgfood #sgfoodies #sgfoodie #dessertssg #desserts #Mcdonalds #burpple #burpplesg #IceCream #Softserve #Mcflurry #Sundae #milktea #thaimilktea

While the filling is berry delicious (taste like Yan Yan Strawberry), the pie has a rather stingy portion of it, which greatly reduced its satisfaction. #sgigfoodies #sgigfood #sgfood #sgfoodies #sgfoodie #dessertssg #desserts #Mcdonalds #Mcdonaldssg #Mcdsg #Strawberry #WhiteChocolate #CreamPie #burpple #burpplesg
