Just a month after launching the polarising crispy 'Hainanese chicken' burger (for what it's worth, we rather liked it), McDonald's Singapore is back with a new burger — the McPepper.

Billed as an all-new limited-edition burger, the McPepper (from $5 with a meal) became available 2 September, after breakfast hours.

The burger features the standard caramelised buns

Sandwiched two beef patties, diced onions, and a generous dollop of sweet, spicy black pepper sauce.

If that sounds oddly familiar, it's because the popular seasonal Prosperity Burger (from $5.40 a la carte) also contains beef patties, black pepper sauce and onions.

The similarities only intensified when we took our first bite

2/3

If you told us it was the Prosperity Burger, we would probably believe you.

The McPepper, though, true to its name, is just a hint more peppery. We also tasted less of the onion as compared to the Prosperity Burger.

Our final verdict?

3/3

Taste-wise, they're remarkably similar — a pro for anyone craving the Prosperity Burger, which usually only returns every Lunar New Year. But the McPepper wins, simply because it's the more wallet-friendly option of the two.
