McDonald’s McPepper Returns With Exclusive Pokémon Packaging From 1 Sep 2022

McPepper and new Pokémon packaging at McDonald’s

Fans of McDonald’s McPepper burger might have noticed the item’s disappearance from the fast food chain’s menu last September, within less than a month after its launch. There’s good news if you’re missing the black pepper burg: it’s now back on McDonald’s menu, from September 2022!

A member of the team first spotted a sign outside McDonald’s Bedok Mall branch showcasing the McPepper burger with what looks like a Pokémon burger box.

McDonald’s has confirmed that the McPepper is wrapped in Charizard packaging, the Pulut Hitam Pie in Eevee packaging, and Teh C Frappé, in Pikachu or Scorbunny packaging.

Each McPepper comes with two beef patties glazed in a sweet and spicy black pepper sauce, topped with onions. Everything is held between McDonald’s signature burger buns. When it was launched last year, it was available as a $5 Extra Value Meal, which came with fries and a drink.

On top of the comeback of the McPepper burger, Pokémon enthusiasts can also look forward to the Pulut Hitam Pie ($1.70) and Teh C Frappé (from $4.50) served in exclusive Pokémon packaging. The former features crispy pastry encasing a creamy purple rice and coconut cream filling, and the latter is a refreshing ice-blended milk tea drink.

There’s also Filipino-famous Shakey’s Pizza at Lucky Plaza if you’re up for thin-crust pizzas, creamy shakes and more.
