2018 McDonald's D24 Durian McFlurry in Hong Kong

Hong Kong McDonald's launched the durian McFlurry on July 5th which is available in Hong Kong and Macao.
It will only be available for two weeks but surprisingly it was sold out within two days of launch!

You either hate or love Durian like Marmite!
The D24 Durian McFlurry was launched in Malaysia last year so it is not new but new to Hong Kong and Singapore.

I tried it on the first day.

On the menu, there are two options, the standard one for HKD25 and the Deluxe one with extra durian for HKD40.

I ordered the HKD40 where I was given a separate tub of Durian.

To be honest, the durian was not fresh durian but durian puree with tiny shreds of durian in it.
Sadly, the durian puree was sweetened so the extra dose of durian puree didn't give me pleasure but extra goddamn sweetness!

If I knew the durian was sweetened, the standard Durian McFlurry would have been good enough and it is really weird why they had to sweeten it as Durian is naturally sweet anyway.

Taro McFlurry

I was really looking forward to the new Taro McFlurry so got it as soon as it was launched.



Basically it is McDonald's softserve, oreo cookies and taro syrup mixed together.
I had mine without oreo cookies because I don't like them.

Taro McFlurry:




The McFlurry had a nice taro syrup fragrance but unfortunately it was too sweet because the softserve is already sweet and the taro syrup made it even more sweet.

Choconana cake Mcflurry 2013

McDonald's (North Point)

I do not really like banana but I just felt like trying the new McFlurry for the sake of it.

Choconana cake Mcflurry:

Luckily it was not too sweet but I wonder if it will taste the same on my next visit.
On my last visit I had the black and white icecream but when I had it again it was too sweet.
Anyway, the banana taste was subtle and not too artificial, the soft cake pieces were delicious with the ice-cream.

Horlick's McFlurry @ McDonalds

Previous tried the Horlicks Sundae and it was really nice so I decided to get the Horlicks double Sundae, but it turns out only some places have the double sundae and at other branches it is served after 9pm only.

As I could not order the double I decided to try the McFlurry.

Horlicks McFlurry :

 

Compared to the sundae version, this was sweeter because it had wheat as well which was sweetened.
The texture of the icecream was thicker because it was whipped vigorously with the McFlurry spoon and became elastic.

McD's new taro oreo McFlurry and new cheese dip

When I saw the new taro oreo McFlurry, I thought wow.

So I got it with some chicken nuggetts to try the new cheese sauce.
The honey and mustard was the same as last years, so I just tried the cheese.

The cheese sauce was very runny but not strong enough in cheese.
It would be cool if they had blue cheese sauce, but I doubt the Chinese would like stuff like that.

 

 

 

As for the McFlurry it was really dissappointing because it was different to what I expected.

I assumed it would be using Taro ice-cream but it was plain soft serve topped with Taro sauce and crushed OREO's.

It was really different to the ones in UK because it was not mixed.

The McFlurry is a vanilla ice cream dessert that has pieces of candy, fruit or cookies mixed into it. The mixing blade for the dessert is actually a specially designed spoon with a hollow handle that attaches to the mixer spindle. The blade is used once then given to the customer to use to eat the product.

I took a few spoons and left it to melt, it tasted nicer as a drink because the taro taste was stronger, but TOO SWEET!!!!
The sweetness is SOOOOOOOOOO sweet that you can smell it at an arms length.
