Nom nom.

Occasionally relevant magazine, 8 Days, has reported that the McDonald's Nasi Lemak Burger is making a comeback by end-August 2017.

Tried to get confirmation

The Aug. 22 article tried to ascertain if the Nasi Lemak Burger will indeed return together with Chendol McFlurry and Bandung McFizz, but no official confirmation or denial was given by a McDonald's personnel.

Via 8 Days:

Nearly a month after it vanished, the locally-themed burger will finally be back on the menu.

A reliable source (who requested not to be named) has confidently told us that the Nasi Lemak Burger, and its buddies Chendol McFlurry and Bandung McFizz, will make a reappearance at the end of August at all McDonald’s outlets.

Whether it still proves popular with the fickle crowd after such a long absence remains to be seen. The burger costs from $5.95 a la carte, cheaper than its rivals' more atas renditions.

We spoke to a rep for McDonald’s, who declined to confirm — or deny — the Nasi Lemak Burger's comeback. But all we can say with certainty is: wait for it.

More updates coming soon.

Overwhelming demand

The sweet, slightly tangy Nasi Lemak Burger vanished for close to a month after only making a brief appearance for two weeks from National Day.

Overwhelming demand had apparently wiped out all the existing stock island-wide.

Fingers crossed.
