And we all know it’s a sign of the new lunar year whenever McDonald’s Prosperity Burger comes out but this time around, Burger King too has debuted their own Chinese New Year burger line named Burger King Double Fortune.
We decided to put both burgers to the test and see whether the newcomer (Burger King) can beat the OG CNY burger (McDonald’s). Five criteria were used to determine the winner – taste, size, side order, variety, and value for money.
#1 Taste
McDonald’s Prosperity Burger has the distinctive taste that everyone loves especially the silky black pepper sauce smothered on a tender burger patty. Burger King’s Double Fortune Double Whopper on the hand tastes well, exactly like the Whopper burger. You’ve got two succulent beef patties with some salad and sesame seed bun. Nothing out of the ordinary. So, we think you know who’s the clear winner for this.
Winner: McDonald’s Prosperity Burger
#2 Size
When we first took out the Burger King burger from its paper bag, boy were we in for a big surprise – literally. Just holding the burger itself gave us a sense of might. McDonald’s burger immediately pales in comparison when you put it right next to Burger King’s. And did we also mention that there’s two beef patties instead of one in the Fortune Double burger? This burger was definitely made for those of you with big appetites. So after this you don't need to curi your friend's burger anymore in case you don't feel kenyang yet.
Winner: Burger King’s Double Fortune
#3 Side Order
McDonald’s Prosperity Burger comes with Twister Fries and Orange Prosperity McFizz while Burger King’s comes with one normal fries and any soft drink of your choice. It’s nice to have some change to your burger sets once in a while, so nothing beats the feeling of looking forward to having Twister Fries compared to your regular fries.
Winner: McDonald’s Prosperity Burger
#4 Variety
Just like the side orders, sometimes it’s also nice to have a wide variety to choose from. Burger King’s Double Fortune comes in three choices – Double Fish‘N Crisp, Double Chicken Whopper, and Double Beef Whopper. McDonald’s have been offering the same variant for the past few year Prosperity Beef or Chicken Burger. Now you can invite your friends who don’t take meat and eat with you at Burger King!
Winner: Burger King’s Double Fortune
#5 Value For Money
We know, some of you want to know which burger can you get the most bang out of your buck. Well Burger King’s Double Fortune price varies according to the type of patty you choose – RM14.50 per set (fish), RM16.80 per set (chicken), and RM18.80 per set (beef).
McDonald’s Prosperity Burger regular sized set is priced at RM16 for both chicken or beef. They also have a double option but only for ala carte, priced at RM17.50 for chicken and beef.
Well, if you’re looking for a meal that’ll make you “feel full the whole day” as what one of our colleague said, it’s definitely the Double Fortune burger. For that price, you get a significantly bigger burger which to be honest can be shared with two people, and you’ll also get a side order of fries and soft drink.
Winner: Burger King’s Double Fortune
So, who reigns supreme in the battle against Chinese New Year burgers?
Burger King beats McDonald’s with 3-2! Looks like the king trumped the clown on this leg of our gastronomical adventure. After all, there’s a Chinese saying that says “all good things come in doubles.”
But seriously though, the burger is so big that some of us are struggling to even finish it even by the time we’ve finished writing this article.
Now, which Chinese New Year seasonal burger will you try out first?
