Tried out the latest realease from the McDonald’s franchise, the Grilled Chicken Burger. Or the ‘Greater Cheebuy’ as I used to call it. I mean Greater Cheese Burger. Wait. It doesn’t have cheese in it. Anyway.

So…What is the verdict?

Overrated. The first bite was OK to me. Smooth chicken thigh meat grilled with BBQ-marinated flavour. The sauce was a huge let down. It gave out a foul smell which might be unpleasant to certain customers, like me, and the lettuce, wasn’t exactly the fresh lettuce as heavily advertised by McDonald.

At RM11.90 it comes with regular Coke and the fries, which, frankly, has some seasonal differences. At times the fries could be really crunchy when it came out fresh from the oven. That was heavenly. Today though, was entirely different as the fries were flabby and seemingly soft to the core. Very unappetising.

If you really want to try the GCB, it’s available as ala carte at RM8.90.
