McDonald’s is bringing back its McGriddles hotcake sandwiches, which were extremely popular when they were on the menu of the fast food chain’s outlets in Hong Kong this summer. They will be available at McDonald’s outlets from December 17 and will come as a set meal that will be priced from HK$35 onwards.
The famed McGriddles — which are popular at Japanese McDonald’s outlets — are made by sandwiching a slice of grilled sausage and cheese between two fluffy hotcakes infused with maple syrup. They made their Hong Kong debut in July this year, and more than 1 million were sold during the first three days after they went on sale in the city. However, they were temporarily dropped from menus in September, much to the disappointment of foodies in the city.
The maple pancake burgers were part of McDonald’s breakfast menus and there were two versions — the original that cost HK$35 and an egg version priced at HK$36.50 when purchased as part of a set meal with a beverage and a hash brown. Customers could also buy them à la carte, with the classic McGriddle costing HK$21.50 and the egg upgrade HK$25.50. McGriddles are available on McDonald’s menus in the US, Canada, and Singapore, but the Japanese version is most popular among Hongkongers.
