Today is the day all Malaysian ARMYs have been waiting for, the release of BTS X McDonald’s meal!
To show support to the hype, and enjoy the privilege of being the first Asian country to have the set meal, we went to McDonald’s this morning because the McDelivery website is down since 10 am. Chill out, just in case this reminds you of the AZ vaccine registration website.
Anyway, McDonald has arranged a special lane for the Armies for better crowd control to avoid long queues and close contacts.

The outlet we went was quite empty. And of course, we kept our social distances and wore a double layer mask.
Moment of Truth
So… … it is worth the money?
The price for one set is RM15.70, you get medium fries, a medium soft drink, ten pieces of chicken nuggets and two types of sauce selected by BTS – Cajun and sweet chilli, not forgetting the exceptional purple packaging.
I believe most of us are familiar with the taste of the fries, coke and chicken nuggets. So, we’ll get straight into the picks of BTS.
First, the Cajun sauce. I would call it mustard with Cajun powder. It’s creamy, mustardy, with a hint of Cajun herbs. If you like mustard, you will love this. The rating is was on how the sauce compliments the chicken nuggets to our personal preference.
Rate: 3.5/5
Next, the sweet chilli sauce, it’s sweet. Yes, just sweet. We tried comparing it with the usual chilli sauce, and it tasted sweeter. We could hardly taste the spiciness. However, it has a very mild Thai citrusy flavour to it.
Rate: 3/5
Surprise! We found that it’s not a bad idea to mix the two.
The packaging is the highlight anyway, so here you go.
Overall, if you are an ARMY, the taste doesn’t de-escalate your excitement. For those who are just following the hype, do you think it’s worth it? Let us know in the comment below!
