SAMURAI BURGER FANS, THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER. 🍔⚔️
McDonald’s Singapore is bringing back its much-loved Samurai Burger from 20 August 2026, 11am, and this comeback is much bigger than just the burger.
Joining the returning Samurai Beef and Chicken Burgers are the Tamago Samurai Burgers and Seaweed McShaker™ Fries, plus three new additions: Katsu Chicken Tenders, Kyoho Grape Soft Serve and Strawberry Daifuku Pie.
And judging by the full line-up, this could be one of those McDonald’s launches where you end up ordering far more than the burger alone.
The Samurai Burger is back
The Samurai Beef Burger returns with a juicy beef patty coated in McDonald’s signature teriyaki sauce, together with crisp lettuce and creamy mayonnaise.
Its Samurai Special Meal starts from $10.15 for Single and $12.95 for Double, with the special meal comprising the burger, Large Seaweed McShaker™ Fries and a Medium Fuze Green Tea.
Prefer chicken? The Samurai Chicken Burger also returns in Single and Double versions, bringing together succulent chicken and that familiar sweet-savoury teriyaki flavour.
There is also an egg-loaded option. The Tamago Samurai Beef Burger and Tamago Samurai Chicken Burger return with a golden egg layered into the teriyaki burgers, with the Tamago Samurai Special starting from $11.45.
NEW Katsu Chicken Tenders from $5.50
Here is one of the new additions we reckon will get plenty of attention.
The Katsu Chicken Tenders feature a crispy battered exterior with succulent chicken inside, priced from $5.50 for 3 pieces or $8.50 for 5 pieces.
And yes, Seaweed McShaker™ Fries are coming back too.
Shoppers can upgrade their meal for $1.25 to get the golden fries coated in that familiar savoury seaweed seasoning. They are available for a limited time while stocks last.
Kyoho Grape Soft Serve from just $1.50
The dessert line-up gets particularly interesting this round.
McDonald’s is introducing a purple Kyoho Grape Soft Serve from $1.50, with a creamy texture and fruity Kyoho grape flavour. It will also be available as a McFlurry® with OREO® bits.
Then there is the new Strawberry Daifuku Pie from $1.80.
Inspired by Japanese daifuku, the pink-crusted pie combines chewy mochi, sweet red bean paste and strawberry jam— easily one of the more unusual McDonald’s pie combinations we have seen lately.
There’s also a FREE Samurai game show at Bugis Junction
The Samurai takeover actually starts before the food launch.
From 18 to 30 August 2026, McDonald’s will run its first Samurai IKE! game show pop-up at the open area beside McDonald’s Bugis Junction.
Admission is FREE, with the pop-up operating from 12pm to 9pm daily.
Visitors can try three Japanese-game-show-style challenges, including squeezing through a moving Hole in the Wall, using giant chopsticks to stack fries in Fries and Furious, and wearing a soft-serve helmet while jumping to pop grape balloons in Kyoho Grape Drop.
For those feeling competitive, McDonald’s says participants can battle it out during two weekends either solo or with a friend, with cash prizes of up to $800 up for grabs. Registration details will be released through @mcdsg.
